Any suggestions that you would like to give to the current youth and aspiring students?

“Make the best use of every opportunity that comes your way and be disciplined”

In my opinion, hard work and discipline are something that youth needs to remember always. In the current age, social media and electronic media have shadowed their responsibilities and distracted them heavily from the right path. Although it is needed, there has to be a limit. This is my message to the youth.
