HYDERABAD: Supreme Court Chief Justice P Sathasivam on Saturday cautioned Nalsar
graduates against being carried away by money, fame and brand names of
companies. "One day you might get a feeling that you are leading an
unfulfilled life all along."
Participating as the chief guest at the 11th annual convocation of Nalsar University here, the CJI exhorted the students to follow their hearts. "No attractive salary packages or working with brand names can give the satisfaction which you may derive from doing what your heart desires. When you reach my age, money and brand names will not satisfy you. I know it is too early to talk about the tail end of your career, but time just flies and it is always good to be prepared. Never see law only as a means of livelihood. It should be your mission in life. This law degree is a licence to you to help others to resolve their disputes.
Apart from personal empowerment, the ability to contribute to social welfare should be the true social value of legal education," the CJI said.
The CJI recalled his parents' sacrifices to send him to school. "I know there are parents here today who did the same thing. This is the occasion for you to salute and thank them. Focusing solely on making money shows a dearth of ambition. It asks too little of yourself.
And it will leave you unfulfilled. Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it's not. It takes patience, commitment, and it comes with plenty of failures along the way. You can play a crucial role in spreading legal awareness among members of the deprived sections who are not aware of even the basic rights given under our constitution. Only laws cannot save democracy. It is the lawyers and judges who inspire the respect for the laws," Justice Sathasivam said. Chief minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy, AP chief justice Kalyan Jyoti Sengupta and others were present at the convocation.1source;http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/CJI-cautions-students-against-chasing-only-money-fame/articleshow/21409399.cms
