The wisdom and inspiration gained from years of tremendous success in building communities and institutions are truly remarkable. It was an honor for me to act as a mentor, sharing the story of my life and the lessons I've learned along the way. I believe that embracing a growth mindset, challenging oneself every day, and staying true to one's aspirations can lead to surprising achievements, even beyond what we might initially imagine."

During the program, Mr. Warikoo highlighted three crucial aspects that can fuel personal and professional growth. He explained, “Surround yourselves with people who are different from you, and have diverse perspectives and challenges that foster growth. The purpose of life is not to seek comfort but to embrace challenges and take risks, even in the face of failure.” Secondly, Mr. Warikoo acknowledged the shift towards instant gratification in today's society and stressed the importance of understanding and adapting to this change, especially for the younger generation. Third, he explained the dangers of entitlement. He said, “One should remain humble, grateful, and open to continuous learning from those around them.”

Mr. Warikoo also stated, “Success demands courage, vulnerability, and truth. Being a lifelong student is the greatest gift, opening endless possibilities for learning. Knowledge is accessible to all, regardless of wealth or influence. The key is to never be complacent, but to challenge yourself, learn from others, and embrace failure. Mastering your mindset is the winning formula for life's success."

Dr. Niranjan Hiranandani, National Vice-Chairman, NAREDCO, stressed the importance of lifelong learning. He stated, "I love to learn. If I haven't learned something new in the last few months, I feel incomplete." Dr. Hiranandani highlighted the significance of consistent self-improvement, encouraging a 1% daily progress. He informed that success is not solely determined by what and how one learns, but by making learning a fundamental part of one's character. He stressed, "Keep on learning, improving, and unlearning. It's the key to succeeding in life, regardless of advantages or background."
