For that we have to be aware of the things happening around us and have to learn continuously. So, the most important lesson for you all is to never be content with your achievements. At the same time never compete with others. Strive to become a better version of you. Whatever you do in life, take pride in it. Gradually strive to achieve excellence. Today happens to be the martyrdom day of Shaheed Bhagat Singh, who is the finest youth that India has ever produced. Take inspiration from all our freedom fighters, who inspired the nation to nurture the people around them.”
