Chennai March 19 For a college student, education must be the goal. It can neither be cricket nor film. "Your goal is to make a career in corporate life with the help of education. Therefore, be focused in your education and learn as much as possible. Get your fundamentals strong. Also develop confidence and assertiveness to talk, what you believe as they will help improve your employability factor," Mr S. Sundar Raman, Vice-President - Service Delivery, Sutherland Global Services, told the MCA students of B.S. Abdur Rahman Crescent Engineering College after inaugurating the CSI - Student Chapter, organised by the Business Line Club.

Asking students to give up things that would hinder them achieving their goals, he said, one should stay focused and disciplined. "Without sacrifice, one can never achieve success," he pointed out.

Work place is not like college. At work, there will be nobody to guide. One is expected to do his/her job with little or no assistance. "Therefore, if you develop the skill and the ability to see the problem in the right light and find solution to it, you will be well appreciated."

Mr Raman added that one has to be sensitive to dignity of labour and learn to be a human being. One must learn to adopt oneself to the different situations that arise out of different cultures, geography and time factor. "Be brutally honest and be open," he said.

Asking students to be "brutally honest and open", he said no one is born inferior. Every one is born with the same genius. The difference is in how one identifies one's potential talents and skills and nurture it.

Mr Tameem Saied, Technical Director, Brain Alchemy Interface Networks, also spoke.
