On 25th August, 2023 (Friday), PG Department of Commerce and Management organized a guest lecture on the topic “Motivation and Life Skills”. The objective of this session was to motivate the students and inspire them to achieve their goals. It was focused on building an approach towards life and using vital life skills to accomplish one’s goals. The speaker for the lecture was a versatile personality, Mr. Rupansh Ashwani, CA, MBA, CFA & CEO-Agass. He explained that, one can achieve anything in life, if there are three main things, i.e., meditation, dedication, commitment. He also stressed that meditation should always be a prioritized as meditation brings clarity into one’s mind and helps one realize one’s goal.

He underlined that one should never take revenge in life and complain about the adversities of life as it will only end up making us feel unrested and demotivated. He illustrated life examples of Thomas Alva Edison and Mukesh Ambani to prove that difficulties and failures are stepping stones to success. He also brought to the limelight that focus and commitment are the two essentials that help us in overcoming our difficulties. He explained that the universe is based on a paradox that chasing a thing pushes it further far off. As per him, one must be such a personality that things and people will themselves be attracted towards one. While choosing friends, he added, one should learn to choose people wisely as their friends.

He said that revenge and hatred are two negative feelings which make life more complicated. Taking revenge will lower standards and make the person more negative.  His mantra for success and happiness was that “you are enough for yourself”, “you will never be defeated” and “you must enjoy one’s own company”. It was an interactive session in which students enthusiastically raised valid questions, which were satisfactorily answered. He concluded the session by saying that life is very uncertain, one should live one’s life to the fullest and one must make a bucket list of things. He also emphasized that one should always keep moving in life and one should never have a low self-esteem. 62 students of B. Com Sem I, B. Com (FS)Sem I and faculty members of PG Department of Commerce and Management attended the program.
