Good morning everyone; principal, distinguished dignitaries, and my dear children. I am reminded of my struggling days as an athlete. I love those days. They were the best days in my life. I could achieve my goals and success only because of the hard work done in those days.  

One thing I would like to make very clear to all of you. Initially I had to face many failures. But I did not give up; I practiced determinedly. So, never ever be dismayed by failures. They are an integral part of success. Keep trying and keep your morale high. Whatever happens, just stay focused on your goals. Never stop trying. All the best!

I thank the school management for inviting me to this function. God bless all.
