It was a historical day for Raziff, the Vice Chancelor Award recipient for IUCTT's 6th convocation held on November 24th, 2008. We have a lot to talk about when it reach best student's speeches. We are honoured to reproduce Raziff's speech, divided into 3 parters "biteable pieces":
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Taking the quote from an individual, I consider the most popular scientist of all, a grandmaster who founded universal gravitation and laws of motion, Sir Isaac Newton:
“I keep the subject of my inquiry constantly before me, and wait till the first dawning opens gradually little by little, into a full and clear light”
A good success ladder is built on a strong foundation. For an individual to achieve something in his life, the most vital part of the journey to success is the first step. This is what would determine the level of success that can be achieved. Rome started from a grain of soil, the Great Pyramid of Giza with a block and Microsoft with a single, small chip. We owe it all to Julius Caesar and Bill Gates respectively for transforming these into greatness. The pivotal point in their pursuit of success is what the ability to build on a strong foundation.
After laying a strong foundation and before setting out to achieve anything in any field, be it engineering, science, business or medical, having a good grip of the basics would certainly be of help. This is to prepare us for any and every eventuality before we venture into deeper waters. [end of part 1 of 3]
It was a definite surprise for both his father and mother and we believe that it was the best gift a son could give to their proud parent. We will talk about this more exclusively. Raziff, care to comment?
Aside from Raziff, we will have the rest of ever best student award recipients, to talk about moments of their life.
First, I am honoured to have this historical speech (to me, anyway) posted here, along with this scary, hooligan looking pictures (according to my friends).
ReplyDeleteWhen I was asked to deliver the valedictorian speech, my main aim was to get a good blend of words uttered by science greatest (as I am heavily influenced by past grandmasters), secrets of success in higher learning (mine, anyways) and the current going-ons in IUCTT.
With help from the great wordsmith Mr. Nasir, I managed to pull it off, with overwhelming response during the event, from both the audience and the VIPs (in which I believe).
The idea is to provide a call to greatness, in other word to inspire graduates, current and future students, to achieve what has seems to be just a dream previously.
I believe in my speech I spoke for all, that IUCTT is capable of producing graduates, intellects and academicians on par with the so called other "great" Universities.
By the way, for readers information, I am currently a lecturer in FEIT, pursuing my quest to produce the ultimate troop of graduates, who are capable of withstanding any challenges in life.
Salam.
