Noted scientist T.R.K. Chetty on Monday said a systematic and scientific approach combined with common sense is the secret of success.
Participating as the chief guest at the inter-collegiate competitions, ‘Spectrum-2014’, organised by Sri Durga Malleswara Siddhartha Mahila Kalasala here, he said: “Discipline, dedication and determination will make one achieve one’s goals.” He advised students to think originally and not to follow anyone blindly. “Be a good listener, and ultimately, follow your conscience while taking a decision,” Mr. Chetty added.
He said students should not leave the game following failure but try again till the contest is won. “Make use of adversity as an opportunity through sincerity in approach and honesty in application. Be a good team member to become a successful leader,” he said. Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) Scientist and Project Manager J.
