Success comes to those who wait.”
In his presidential address, Syed Mohamed Beary, Chairman of Bearys Academy of Learning, shared life lessons on values, gratitude, and faith. He said, “We are ready for the exams of the board, but we should be ready for the exams of life. In life’s exams, the questions are different at every step.”
He urged students to uphold honesty and integrity in every aspect of life. “Whatever we are, we should always be truthful. Be trustworthy when someone trusts you. Be just and fair always,” he said, adding that generosity, empathy, and gratitude are essential virtues. “God likes generosity. It is our duty to respect nature. Have empathy and sympathy. Be grateful to God. Success will never come without sacrifice,” he reminded the audience.
He concluded by highlighting the importance of spirituality, saying, “Prayer is the greatest power on earth. While being religious, it’s important to be spiritual also.”
