|
| 5. | Educationists should build the capacities of the spirit of inquiry, creativity, entrepreneurial and moral leadership among students and become their role model. |
|
| 6. | English is necessary as at present original works of science are in English. I believe that in two decades times original works of science will start coming out in our languages. Then we can move over like the Japanese. |
|
| 7. | God, our Creator, has stored within our minds and personalities, great potential strength and ability. Prayer helps us tap and develop these powers. |

|
| 16. | Life is a difficult game. You can win it only by retaining your birthright to be a person. |

|
| 18. | Man needs his difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy success. |
|

|
| 20. | No religion has mandated killing others as a requirement for its sustenance or promotion. |
|
| 21. | Tell me, why is the media here so negative? Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognise our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why? |

|
| 30. | You have to dream before your dreams can come true. |
