He gave examples citing students from the center in Belgaum as to how they are pursuing their career in life. He also pointed out how people considered certain youth as useless, but with the three months of training they have become useful to society. He spoke of the gradual transformation that takes place with the students as they have received training in life coping skills like Time Management, Money Management, Handling Emotions, Stress Management etc., He insisted that each student should have an aim in life and make all efforts to reach that goal. He further remarked saying, ``You can make a beautiful future with the training that you have received here in Don Bosco``. Apart from looking at the competition and salary in this competitive world of work, we need to gain experience, knowledge and job satisfaction. He concluded his address saying, ``There`s no excuse to hard work``. Hard work will carry you across the ladder of success. Rev. Fr. Felix Serrao encouraged the trainees not to look into their past but to look ahead and move forward. He gave examples of Warren Buffet and Bill Gates and a few others who have made success but still live a simple life. We need not focus on the salary but on experience and that will help to build a career and a fruitful life. Certificates were then distributed by the Chief Guest and other dignitaries. Ms. Assuntha Lobo thanked everyone on the dais and the program concluded with the National Anthem.
