 Professor John Sema to address us and I request all the students to pay attention give your mind, heart and soul open your minds to listen to our professor as he enlightens us with his knowledge. Sir you may take the stage. Good afternoon to everyone, respected principal, the Kedelden University of Thessalon and Beauty College and also my dear students friend from the two colleges. At the outset I'm very happy to be here to be with you people and you know I actually don't know how in what way I should present you, not exactly that I don't have but anyway the college the two colleges have asked me that I should also speak to their students so I say I'm happy that we're always like doing this talk with our students. I want our students before I started my life here I want all of you to kindly keep in mind that always try to sit in the front or we always try to sit in the front that when you are in the heavy of us sitting in the floor you will have the guards to face the people. But when you are a bank manager you will not be able to have the guards to face the people. You know I have one of my friends who is my senior, very brilliant, Topher, Topher but he qualifies in the written tests many times but when it comes to the interview he's not able to qualify and what the reason is that he doesn't have the class to face the people. So I want you to go to face the people. When you have whether you are able to speak properly or not, doesn't matter. But your confidence will enable you to speak properly but if you don't have the confidence even what you know it you will forget. Okay you will forget. That is why I want all of you to kindly keep in mind that always try to sit in the front always try to face the people then only you will have the confidence. Now read in the textbook okay will not suffice but the education is not in but all don't development of both in mind and soul. Both in mind and soul means you are growing with age okay so your mind also should be developed and then mind means you're intellectually you should also develop, manage it. Okay that will make you a perfect person but if you are not in the habit of doing that, acquiring knowledge, acquiring academic degree will not suffice but to make you a person. So that I want all of you to kindly keep in mind that. Coming back to that since I've come here particularly for this rendition with the teachers and I also like to see that with the students. Here I want all of you to kindly keep in mind that the master is student. Many of our students feel that in any level to get past mark is not difficult. That is the concept that the students have but that passing of email will not make you to commensurate the degree and the knowledge that will not have the balance okay and that will not commensurate with the knowledge you have in your end. Now you are coming with an aim is having a master okay master in a particular subject. So I want all of our students here I've come across what is the problem with our students here. Many of times I've been I've looked in the papers not only from Nagaland University but Saudi College, Unity College, Petro College and whether I was just thinking whether the teachers are not doing the best or whether the students they are not doing the job. Okay this is my analysis but I want to tell our students here is that in ML level teachers will do only 10 percent okay teachers will do only 10 percent and 90 percent of the students 90 percent of the work will be done by the students themselves. Okay in ML level no teacher will be able to feed you the way you want to have it. When I was doing my PhD, my professor probably got job in PhD level, PhD level, 99 percent perspiration, 99 percent perspiration and only one person only one person that will be giving inspiration that will be from God. 99 perspiration how you have to walk, how you have to live with yourself and then only one person inspiration that will come to God and what is that from God? You are Christian, I mean Hindu. Okay I'm a Christian, he say I'm a Hindu, you are Christian. Okay now you see that God help, God help to those who help themselves. Okay now in ML level the teachers are there to guide you, okay to help you to open your eyes and mind and make you how you should just that but the rest you will have to do by yourself. Okay so that I want that in the first place I want all of you to finally keep in mind that don't give in all your future for everything. You will have to study hard. What are the content of the courses? What are the syllabus? What are the area? In what way you have to study? Those are the things you will have to learn. Now I have a feeling that all students will be feeling very bad when you get your result, when you get your result. You will feel bad but you will have to see that what the cushion is asked of. I always asked my students in the university itself that if you write everything out of the cushions and if I give you marks all of you can become an eyewitness, eyewitness, eyewitness. You have everybody of you can become anybody else but the purpose is not like that. If there should be filtration, okay filtration. You know what is filtration? The one who is able to do the things according to what is required. Please keep in mind that all of you are like a commodity in the shops, okay. You are like a commodity. You are like goods in the Dotto College, in the Unity College, in Nagarino City and so the college and there will be the customers who will come and buy and the customer will test your quality of your products in two NPCs, two public service permission and two other, any channel. They will test you and they will beat you up. That is your knowledge. The knowledge that you possess will be the one that people are going to test. Please keep in mind that unlike what you have been doing in colleges, it is the different kind of picture in the university this season. In the university you will have to cope up yourself, cope up yourself to know what is what, okay. You know what is what. The most important is that the subject matter, the concepts, what you are going to study and what you are studying and what you want to study. The concept that is very very important, the subject matter that you are studying. Now unlike in the colleges, thousands of students are here. The teachers will have so many number of students, so they will evaluate the papers. Some teachers may be skipping off certain particular things and so sometimes you are lucky, you may get a good marks, okay. But in the university system, each and every of the students performs, performs a query, scrutinizing, detailed and a systematic manner. So here I found that the students you are writing the answer, anything comes through your mind without thinking properly, you start at writing all these things. That will not serve your purpose. For any competitive exam that is not going to serve your purpose. So I want all of you to kindly keep in mind that go before when the teachers are going to teach, sometimes you have your time, sometimes you may not get time. If you have time, if a particular teacher is going to teach a particular topic, before teachers teach you a particular topic, if you are in a position, go through the text of the particular topic and then listen to the lecture and then go back to the library and study. Then you will fully obtain yourself, you will fully obtain yourself that what a teacher has been taught to you in the class, you will have to grasp it. You know what is grasping? Grasping means the most important part you will have to digest, grasp it, okay. So you will have to see that there are, okay I'll just give you one of them. There are two group of students, okay, two group of students. One group of students, they will go for sipping of the cups. When they have, when they talk, they go on sipping of the cups with the tea. But one group of students, they will only gargle, but they will never be able to swallow the tea. Okay, so what I'm trying to say that, when you are attending a class, you should not gargle, but you should have the seat and then swallow it, okay. That means you are able to grasp it, what the teacher has been taught to you in the class. Now, whether you are studying in annual level or any competitive agenda, unless you first digest yourself with the whole topic, with the whole topic, if any portion comes in bad way, you will lose yourself, as if you are losing in the ear, okay. You will be blown away by the ear. But if you study the whole thing, then by the time a chunk comes, you will go with the oil when you don't have time, you will just get the most important points. Then when a chunk comes, you will be able to write, despite you are having short of time, not able to cover up all the thoughts. So that is also one way of dealing and studying how you have to do that. Honorary board and aspect that I have come close, with my experience with you all of you, that some of you, while attending the answer, you are, instead of writing according to the question, you are writing the unnecessary form, patches together, patches together. And then when the most important point you are going to write, you have left no time to write on those points. Now, how are you going to get a respected marks? This is one point I want all of you to keep in mind that, try to focus to the point so that you will able to attend the portions. Okay, so I want all of you that, you see that and also try to write to the relevant points. Many of the students, many of the students are writing out of the context. The question which has been asked for, you are writing out of the context. So again that will not serve the purpose. Now a particular paper, particular purchase, particular context will be there. So you will have to see that how that is going to the particular question you have to deal with that. Now your teacher must have already thought with you. So you have to see that how you should do that. Another point I have been telling that your teachers also, that you expect solid marks in your intern, but when it comes to your external your performance and your internal assessment is not mentioned. So I want all of you to keep in mind that in internal if you perform very well, external also you can perform very well. So please see that you try to improve in your internal test. That is very, very important, all of you to keep in mind. Now what I would like to request all of our students is that there is no substitute to hard work. There is no substitute to hard work. If you will work hard, there is no way that nobody can stop you. You will shine a brilliant students also if it doesn't work hard, in any way. Even if you are brilliant, the amount of time you should invest for your study, admit loss of time and energy you have to do that. In any level, I don't know how many people are doing that, but they are students. You have only two years and that two years is most important. After you are any, you are not going to have any formal classes anymore. You are not going to have any more formal classes. This MA is the only formal education system where you will have to be assessed by your teachers, attending the classes, following all the routine of the college and the university, whatever. So whatever you have acquired in your MA, that is going to be your lifelong asset. Lifelong asset means throughout your career, if you have really acquired a knowledge, that is going to be your asset, that is your property. Nobody is going to snatch away from you. So I want all of you to kindly keep in mind that you will have to work hard. Nothing, there is no substitute to hard work. You see the teachers, you may be thinking that teachers may not, but teachers who study more than the current students, okay. If a particular teacher is going to teach, he has to invest four or five hours on a particular topic before going to the class. And if the topic is very tough, the teacher has to spend two, three days to prepare the lesson, okay, particularly in MA. And so then if they, the response, if the response is the poor from the students, then the teachers also got disappointed. When the students perform well, teachers get happy. And for me, I'm happy only when my students perform well. When my students eat very badly, I get disappointed. Okay, so that is how it goes like. So I want all of you to kindly keep in mind that your hard work is very important. Now here, come into the higher level of the studies. You have to work independently of the work. You have to work independently of your own means. Once a teacher has taught you a particular form, particular topics, then you progress, you should have studied by yourself. You should study by yourself. And if you are dependent on your teacher for every small thing, you will never be able to come up. So this is a very, very important for all our students here. I wish that you are working hard. And I must say that all of you are doing your best. But you need to do a lot more. You need to do a lot more. And you should work hard. Your purpose of coming here is not just simply that you are just going to get your degree, but the knowledge. And so you will meet exposure. So I do not know how many of you discuss the subject matter among yourself in the fossil and hope on any topic, on any issues. Whether do you participate in any debate, in any discussion, you should interact. Because through interactions only, you will be able to learn. That will sharpen your ideas, your concepts. Now you may be thinking that your other friends may not know anything. But when you will discuss with him, you will find that he has got more knowledge than you. Okay. Then you will learn that, look, I thought I knew better than him. But you found that he is better than you. That will push you that I should work. That will push you that you should work. Motivations. Now, I hope all of you are staying in a hostel or you are staying in a private room. How many of you stay in a hostel? Please raise your hand. How many of you stay with your classmates, friends, at home? How many? Do you discuss your subject matter on any issue? I have some years back when I was the hostel warden. I have started a post-dinner talk in the hostel. Post-dinner talk once in a week. Here, once in a week, because all the students have walked down with a chair, desk, this and that. So then we have started. Then again I found that the students are too busy. So again I say, okay, fine. Once in a month. Once in a month. Okay, post-dinner talk. So then the students say that, okay, sir. Twice in a month we can have it. Twice in a month we can have it. So I say that I give them the topic and the current issues that is confronting to our society. The current issue that is facing by our people. I give the topic. Sometimes if the topic is related to political science, I give the leadership to the political science students, let them initiate and let our students go into debate. And for that I even give a lecture in the class and then I let the students with this form you can go home, go to the hostel, and discuss. Okay. And so that the students they have learned. But after some years again that they dissipated and then they are no more following them. But I found that it has given lots of information, learned when I was in the hostel in Yugo. We used to have at least once in a month. We used to have once in a month in the hostel commando. Then we used to discuss. I learned a lot of things from my friends, economists, history, sociologists, and also from the students of science. Science also I just asked them what is the, what is the, how sound waves works? What is the sound waves? And we used to ask our physics students to tell us why these sound waves. Then I also learned a lot of things from it. So I just all of you to kindly keep in mind that subject matter of your subject. What do you ask them? Suppose you are coming up with a student of political science on the topic called sovereignty. Okay. Sovereignty is related to your subject as well as to the people of the Nargis, which is very popular with the Nargis. But whether that sovereignty is all about. Okay. What is that sovereignty is all about? And whether the concept of sheer sovereignty and supra-state that is applicable in the context of Nagaland or not. Okay. It is visible or not. And also the concept of supra-state. Whether that is workable in the context of Indian state or not. And whether that is possible in the context of Nagaland as well or not. And to know that first you should study what is sovereignty. You should study the all-sync theory of sovereignty. Okay. All-sync concept of sovereignty. Then come to the pluralistic theory of sovereignty. Then comes to the context of Nagaland. And see that whether that is applicable in the context of Nagaland or not. Okay. So that only you will know the subject matter. Okay. So here whether you study international politics, political thought of Plato, Aristotle, Machiavelli, all these kind of things. First you should study the subject matter very carefully, very totally. Don't deepen on your teacher. You see when I was in Miami, I spent lots of my time and energy of political thought. And I get at least more in this people. But I learned a maximum out of this people. I learned a maximum out of this people because I gave all my time and energy to understand the concept of political thought, particularly on Plato, Aristotle, Machiavelli, Benton, Menace. All this other side. And that has enabled me to be here is only because of my sheer hard work. Nothing else. So if you really work yourself, you will have to come. But if you're only dependent on your teachers, then that will never work. This is one point I would like to say that. Another one is that when you are going to appear for a job, before you go for a job, when time is available, study the whole thing. You should adopt both extensive and intensive studies. Extensive studies means you should try to cover as much as possible. Don't go for selective studies. Then intensive study means when you have a job and when there is no time for you to cover up the whole of your papers, then only you go with the poems. What you have studied. And whenever you study, not down all the poems that you have studied with your pen, with your pen and everything. Okay. Because every time I am a professor, I will not ever remember everything in my mind. Okay. I cannot remember everything in my mind. So what is required? I will not down the poem. Once the poem is not done, it is registered in my mind. So that when I come back, it will give you like a computer memory. Memory will just give you recollection of the poems that you have studied in the past. Okay. So that will enable you to do well in writing. See that all the five questions should be attended equally. All five questions that is been set, attend all the five questions equally. If you are writing only two questions very nicely and two questions you laugh. And if that three questions is also out of the context, not able to write correctly to your questions. Teachers may give you marks, but may not give you that what you want to give or what you expect. Then again you are going to be failed as a rebel. So try to study, try to understand the question. And most important is that understanding of the subject matter is very, very important. Understand. If you don't understand the subject matter, what you are studying. Okay. Suppose a teacher is giving a topic on the project studio for idle state. What is that idle state? You will have to understand it first in the first place. Then go with the risk. Now we won't use once you understand that. You will be able to follow. So that is the one aspect that I cannot give you everything in one lecture. But my advice to all of you is that understanding the subject matter that will give you to remember everything even in the room. But if you are memorizing, if you are marking up, then once the exam is over, you will forget everything. You will not remember everything. And then you will start everything afresh. Okay. When you start everything afresh, you will be lacking behind. And that is why the most important thing is how students should know the subject matter very totally. And that is only when you are attentive in the class, recolor in the class, discipline yourself and hard work. Half-hearted studying will never make you do it. Be a successful student. So you will have to give your whole heart with all your mind and soul. Mind and soul means you have to sacrifice so many other aspects. But focus on your studies. I've been telling you I went to your teacher's house. Now, teachers and I, even myself, I cannot give you, I cannot give you everything what I know within one hour. It's not possible. So you will have the teachers will give you only the most important parts, the most important parts. But you will have to focus. So that I want all our students to kind of keep in mind that and study how answer according to the questions, study according to the sabbhas, and not to debate from the main points. What is not relevant, what is not asked for, you should never write those irrelevant points. Once you start writing irrelevant points, you will not get much. I don't know one point I want to tell you that in political science or in literature, nobody should get you. Okay. Nobody should get you. But there are students getting you as well. There are only one subject where anybody can get you. There is only one subject. Okay. Where a student may get you. Which subject? Anybody can tell me. Which subject? Anybody can get you almost. Any idea? Maths. Maths. Even in science. Maths is the only subject where anybody can get you. Okay. But otherwise, nobody should get you. Any study that is based on laboratory, that is based on scientific and laboratory may get you as well because if that result is given a wrong result, then that may go wrong. Okay. But other than that, nobody should get you. I have been then in my students and I have only they haven't experienced one of my senior in ambience. He get you. So the professor comes to our class, he told us and he haven't mentioned, haven't mentioned the name of that particular student. I will not tell the name. He belongs to Naragasthi. He is a Naragasthi. He is our senior. Okay. But he belongs to the Naragasthi. Okay. And he told us that your seniors in them, this man has got jewelry in my ear. That professor said that. And he said that in political science, nobody should get you. But you do like getting you. Okay. So what I'm trying to tell all of you is that if you answer wrongly, if you answer wrongly and if you don't answer according to the question, definitely no teacher is going to give you marks. Okay. And also if you do not deserve a particular marks and expect a good marks, then that is also your cheating yourself. You are cheating yourself. You are bluffing yourself. Nobody is bluffing. Nobody is cheating you. But you yourself is responsible for that. So I want all of you to kind of keep in mind that in the master's level, these are the small things not to be told to you. But when I have seen that the students are not following that, then I'm coming with that kind of a thing. Not everyone of you are doing that. But there are few students, they are doing that. And so you have to see that pushing, when you are changing the question, question number one, question number one, A, B, you have to go according to that. Question number two, suppose you are attending the question number one, and then you go with the question number three without attending the question number two, then you go, you write question number three, then yes. Then when you are also writing, attend the question number two in the last, then the question number two, then answer according. But what happened? Some students, they are not breathing, they are not breathing the question number also, just so they write. Okay. That, so now you are, you are going to, another important aspect that I have to tell all of you is that, that is my experience, I'm telling all of you, please keep in mind that some students, they go for evolution. My own student, that is my one student in the university, they go for re-evolution. You know what happened? One student got 38 in my paper, okay. When they go for re-evolution, another professor was there to go for evolution, whether I'm the one who has given the marks to the student, judiciously or not, whether I've done according to it or not. What happened? The professor gave the students only 28, 10 marks down. Okay. Now, why that happens is that with so many students, I also have been trained, but I have been trying to be developed so that I do not once deprive a particular student, although his performance was not very good, but I tried to see that he gets at least past mark. But when a particular teacher comes, since only one teacher on Shastri Prasad, he has a full concentration and so you see that it was not according to the positions and many points are not relevant and then sentence, English grammar composition, haven't spinning, everything has, he will have to check. So then he gets the last mark. Okay. So now that is happening and that's why now the authority has stopped that re-evolution. Re-evolution is not is not good for the students if they are getting less because once you go for re-evolution, you will have to go with your first marks. You have to sacrifice whether you get better marks or less, you will have to go with the second marks. Okay. So now what is happening? You are going to be a loser. Okay. So those are some of the important aspects I want us to give you in mind for our students. So first what you have to study, you have to work hard. Don't expect too much mark in your teachers, internal marks because your internal marks and external mark has to be commensurate. Commensurate means what you have get, it should be balanced. Okay. Otherwise, when you get very high marks in the internal and less mark in external means, it means that is not something that is wrong. Okay. So I want all of you to kind of keep in mind those aspects and don't rely too much on your teacher. Once you are dependent on your teacher too much, then you are going to be you know fully dependent. You will not work independently. You will be like a parasite and it is just like a spoon feed. Okay. In the master's level, please don't do that. So this is one aspect. Come into this Emmy award. I just want to give only one point. Once you are the master's expectation from the people, from your parents, from your society will be very, very hard. Are you able to lead to that expectation or not? That's a very, very important question to all of you. And to live up to that expectations, what do you have to do? You have to work hard. You have to learn. You have to acquire. Okay. You have to master yourself to the area, to the subjects, where you what you have been studying that. Okay. Then only you will live up to the expectation of your people. Now, after you come out, come out from this, the two colleges, people will ask from which college, where are you from? You read you also, teso college. Okay. If you have been doing well, then the name of the colleges will come up. Reputation of the colleges will come up in people. Okay. But if you have performed miserable, then the name of your college will come down very bad. Either way, you are going to fast. Okay. You are going to fast. Now you are a student. So you don't know what is life. What is the outside world? You are going to get an experience only after you come out from your college. The reality, the hard reality, you are going to experience only after you fast, after you passing out of your AEM in these two colleges. And so to make and to make of these colleges, that depends on you. You are going to be the ambassador of these two colleges. Okay. You are going to be the ambassador. So will you able to be an ambassador of these two colleges or not? That you will be the showcase of these two colleges. You will be the brand of these two colleges. And so their teens, your performance is solely depends on you. And therefore, I want to allow you to work out. There is nothing that, there is nothing that there is impossible. Of course, they say that impossible will find only in the dictionary of laziness. It will find in the dictionary of cardboard paper. Now, I don't want that, when I say that impossible, you will have to know your limitations. Your limitation is that in this area, if I work hard, I can do it. But in this area, you cannot do it. You will have to see that which way you have your hard potentials. That also you should explore yourself in ameliority. You should explore yourself your potentialities. And in which way you should go for that. That also you should keep in mind that. But if you don't know how you are going to proceed, then it is going to be just like a ship in the ocean without rudder. It will be blown away by the air. You will have no destinations. And therefore, I want all of you to kind of keep in mind have determination. Also see that in which area you are capable of doing that. Here any students that coming up to the ameliority, there is no one which is below average. We used to see that any student that has come up in ameliority, all of them are average students. Above average students, above average students will never come up to a higher average. Okay? Fine. They know too much. They understand too much, they will not study hard. Okay? So, but average means they are capable of exploring more and more. Their potential can fill up more and more. And that is why we say that all those have come to any level above, they are all average students. They can, they can go, they can build up, they and develop, develop. So, that is what we, we always say that. So, I know all of you have the potential. All of you are capable of doing that. All of you have the will and determination, commitment, devotion, and only pain over and above that. Deceit will make you and un-negotiate yourself. So, if you are disciplined, you will have to be successful. And so, I want all of you to maintain punctuality, discipline, discipline, humble, respectful to your teachers, to the college authority, and fair court, fair court. Court is the ultimate for which you will have the success in your life. So, with this reward, I might have been, you know, mixed up so many things. But I just want all of you to kindly keep in mind that there is no substitute to hard work. And God will help to those who help themselves. Thank you so much.
