Make a difference for eternity: Dr Theodore Roosevelt Malloch

Coimbatore: Do not fall prey to the temptations of material life, of work as toil or living without a purpose. Make yours a purpose-driven life. Make a difference not just for yourself but also for eternity.  It may not make you popular, rich or famous that was never promised, said Dr Theodore Roosevelt Malloch, University of Oxford, UK at the convocation of Karunya University. 

 

“The minute you stop learning, you die. I do not want to leave you with an impression that this is just mad activity, memorising more facts or cramming for more tests as cogs caught up in the hustle and bustle of modern life, as we know it,” he added. 

 

He demonstrated that leisure has been, and always will be, the first foundation of any culture and he observed, in our bourgeois world total labour has too often vanquished leisure. As many as 2,122 students, including 1,299 under graduates, 770 post graduates, 10 M. Phil and 43 PhDs, who have successfully completed B. Tech, MBA, MCA, M.A., M.Sc., M. Tech and PhD received their degrees. 

 

The graduating students of Karunya University donated motorised tri-cycles, tri-cycles, wheel chairs, cerebral palsy chairs, etc. to the differently abled people.
