On this eventful day, it is worthwhile to consider how you can use your education to create an impact on society. One of the most important challenges in one's life is to win the battle of your mind and to move on from a regressive mindset to a progressive one. It's also necessary to stay honest and true to your profession and act fearlessly. Learn to stay humble in your moments of glory.
