Attitude, not certificate, marks success: Shiv Khera

MADURAI: “It is not the certificate in our hands but our attitude that matters in our journey towards success,” said Shiv Khera, noted author of You Can Win, here on Sunday.He was addressing the students of various educational institutions run by Velammal Educational Trust. Shiv Khera observed that the management students of today, nurtured an unhealthy overconfidence in their capabilities.

They considered their mark sheets as tickets to success and they wanted to start their professional life as a CEO and nothing less. But in real life, most of the MBA graduates possessed expertise in nothing and had only their certificates to show, he noted. He charged that in most of the cases they did not even understand the overall situation prevailing in the industry in which they worked.

For the older generation remorse was the major factor if they committed a mistake but today’s generation if they were caught for some misdeed they felt no remorse but wondered why they had been caught, Khera stated.“The accelerating number of HIV cases in the country is also an indicator of the moral degradation of our society.

A major portion of HIV patients is reported to be below the age of 25. Ninety percent of those affected by the killer disease are homosexuals, those having multiple partners and drug users. This shows that our youth have a weak moral background and are sexually promiscuous,” he said.He asked the students gathered to enrich their inborn talents through practice and to work hard for the fulfillment of their goals.
