Department of Business Administration of Sir Syed University of Engineering & Technology (SSUET) organized the 3rd lecture of the motivational lectures’ series, Road to Success. The Eminent scholar, poet and educationist of international repute, Prof Dr Pirzada Qasim delivered the lecture.
Presenting his lecture on the Road to Success, renowned Urdu poet and former Vice-Chancellor of Karachi University, Prof Dr Pirzada Qasim said that the journey towards achieving success has different dimensions. The pace of time is getting faster and faster. Those who keep pace with the time get success, and those who are faster or slower than the pace of time are misfits in society. Today one can take advantage of the wide range of knowledge, experiences and observations available.
He pointed out that “Not even one percent of the people really know about themselves. You are completely unaware of the qualities or flaws you have.”
Highlighting the role of private universities, Pirzada Qasim said that if there were no private universities like Sir Syed University, it would be difficult for many students to get access to higher education. Public universities receive funding from the government, but private universities have to bear the expenditures on their own, but still, private universities are equally sharing the responsibility of educating the youth.
Speaking on the auspicious occasion, Chancellor SSUET, Jawaid Anwar said that motivational lectures are important because they work to inspire you, enhance your creativity, reduce fear & apprehension, and offer a new outlook on things.
