Principal Fr Ambrose reiterated today that education was not so much a tool for making money, but to make right decisions in life.
He was addressing the new students at the inauguration of the new academic year here on Wednesday, June 16.
He said, “The purpose of education is to discover your heart, mind and yourself. You need to make decisions based on choices given. It is important to understand what is real and what is not real.”
He added that any development requires right decisions. “You may make a lot of money and possess a number of cars, but if you have lost yourself you will not be happy. Education is not here to get you money. Education is all about seeing what is right and what is wrong. If you can distinguish between them, then you have indeed gained good education. At St Joseph’s we will help you make these choices and decision. The teachers here are there to help you grow,” he said.
He further advised the students to follow the path of righteousness. “Acquire the habit of thinking; acquire the habit of critical learning,” he said.
Rector of St Joseph’s Institutions Fr Vijay Kumar Prabhu, in his address said, “Though there are a large number of students, every single student is important and everyone has his/her dignity. Josephites are students with a difference.”
He called upon students to be men and women of character, integrity and determination.
