In an interactive session with Dr Subhash Chandra, Students of Amity University Noida were made to introspect about their purpose in life and what would they do if they only had a day left to live.
Dr. Subhash Chandra, Chairman of Essel Group and ZEE addressed over 400 students of the Amity University Noida on Monday in which the students and teachers were taken on a journey to contemplate about their life and how to make the best out of it in order to be successful.
“The idea of this session is to share my experiences and challenges I faced with everyone. It is a way of giving it back to the society and this is one of the reasons this show came into existence” said Dr Chandra. The programme was divided into two sessions. In the first session, students were made to ponder on the topic, would they do if they had 24 hours to live and in the second they were made to discover the purpose in their life.
Sharing his experience to the college students, Dr Chandra said, “For me every single day is the last day of my life and that is the secret of my success. If you will ask this question to yourselves each day, then no one can stop you from becoming successful.” Throughout the interactive session, students cleared their doubts and came up with myriad suggestions and questions. The participation was overwhelming as in both the sessions the auditorium had a house full attendance.
One of the MBA students, Shabana shared that she will give 100% to everything on her last day to which Dr Subhash Chandra replied, “Why can't you do that every day. Think every day that today is the last day for the rest of your life and your life would be successful.” Addressing the students he said, “Many think that Honesty cannot lead to success, if you are honest, there won’t be any moment you will feel guilty in your life.”
To encourage students he said, “Prepare your bucket list and start working on it without delay. The idea is when you complete whatever you plan the same day, there is no pending tasks, your life get into a schedule and you set on a path to pursue your life. During the session students felt motivated and mustered some courage to share their views.
“I have been thinking what I will do in the last 24 hours from past hour. I will take share some time with family and will take one poor person to a restaurant. Also, I have been contemplating whether to share what I feel with everyone present or not, but then I thought what if this is the last day and so stood up and shared, I feel fearless now,” explained Sarvasva.
Speaking about the purpose of life he said, “It is very important to find the purpose of life. Until you have defined a purpose in your life you cannot reach heights. Happiness is also a derivative of the purpose. Similarly, adding value to the society is also a purpose.”
Dr Subhash Chandra concluded the session by saying that accomplishment of your purpose is very crucial, because at the end of the day if you are not able to achieve what you want, you will never be satisfied. “Your action should be dynamic; there shouldn’t be confusion that which way to go. Strive till your purpose is accomplished. This is the Mantra of Success.”
Iamin Spoke with few of the students and their response was overwhelming. “The session has compelled me to think about what is the purpose of my life. There were questions in my mind regarding what I wanted to do in my life and how to approach it. Well, today’s session has given me a new perspective,” said Utkarsh Gupta, student of MBA marketing
Shivansh, another MBA student said, “When I came here I was confused about what is my ultimate goal. My grandmother died due to cancer and all this was disturbing me for a while. The session was so interactive and thoughtful that by the end of it, I had a vision about what I want to do now, I will open a cancer hospital to help people who are getting affected from it,”
The session was organised as part of the episodes of the Dr. Subhash Chandra Show. The DSC Show has successfully completed 28 episodes so far and has covered eight cities including Mumbai, Kolkata, Jaipur, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad and Pune.
