Speech by Chetan Bhagat @ Symbiosis

"Don't just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give you a balanced, successful life. I use the word balanced before successful. Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order. There is a no point of getting a promotion on the day of your breakup. There is no fun in driving a car if your back hurts. Shopping is not enjoyable if your mind is full of worries. Life is like one of those race we use to have in schools where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point in coming first. Same is with life where health, relationships & mental peace are like marbles. Your striving is only worth if there is harmony in your life. Else you may achieve the success but the spark, the feeling of excitement will start to die."
