Sharing with the students his insights about business, he asked them to have some hobby in life. This hobby should motivate you to reach great heights. He himself had a fascination for luxury cars. Today he drives an Audi.

Keep good friends for life. It is your friends who can make you and destroy you. Having good friends will propel you achieve impossible things.

He invited the students to visit his office any time for any kind of help.
