On 10th August nearly 160 Indian students from the Evertronics Institute gathered to welcome Dato’ Sothinathan, one of the key Board of Directors of YSS. Madam Jasmine Adaickalam, the Service Consultant of YSS, Dato G. Rajoo, the Perak MIC Head and Dato’ R Ganesan the MIC State Secretary were also present with him to meet the students.
The program was planned and organized by a team of student leaders. They had put much effort in preparing the program agenda, organizing the students, being the MC, buying souvenirs and welcoming the guests. I was pleased to witness their commitment and their leadership skills put into practice. Madam Jasmine in her short motivation talk reminded the students to cultivate a healthy and positive mind. She encouraged them to be focused and committed to achieve their life goals.
Dato Sothinathan gave a fiery speech and stirred the students to become successful individuals. He admitted that he was meeting young people from challenging background for the first time. According to him, all the while he was only meeting and talking to students who are high achievers. Thus he was very pleased that he had the opportunity to meet them.
The students also felt highly motivated after the gathering. On the whole, the program was well organized and bravo to the student leaders who made the function meaningful and a success. Success is achieved by ordinary people with extraordinary determination.

You only need simple determination to succeed. I found that when a good was shut in my face, I only had to go the next door. I could not get a job as a grade 3 clerk after finishing my high school. My father could not afford to send me to university and I could not get a scholarship. So I worked 2 jobs to help my family put my younger siblings through university. They then helped me get a world class education.
We could see that we had to leave Malaysia. We did. I went to get a university scholarship to do post graduate education. I now live in a MR$3 million house. I am quite ordinary. But I never felt that others, including MIC, would do somethign for me. I was right.
