Any valuable advice which you would like to share with the young minds?
“Discover your own passion and acquire skills accordingly”
I would like to advise them to identify your own passion and don’t run blindly behind what others are doing. Evaluate your creativity or desire to work with people. Start asking yourself what you really want in your life. Because it is easier to navigate life when we know exactly the desires of our hearts.
