He elaborated on ‘patience’ and ‘practice’ being the crucial mantras to success and cited a few incidents from his life. “If you aren’t patient enough, you will miss on the success which might have come your way”, said Remo, and reiterated “Always believe in what you strive for”. Believing in yourself and your capability will give you enough strength and passion to work towards it and of course the keys still remains, ‘patience’ and ‘practice’. During his interaction with the students, he told the students that they were very lucky to be a part of an institute like Whistling Woods International, to nurture their skills and grow to compete with the world as well-prepared industry professionals and they should make the most of every opportunity they come across during their tenure at WWI.
