Excerpts Of Concluding Session Speech...
Our life is very monotonous. We actually don't know who we are, nor do we have time to find out. Our aim should be to find ourselves. Also, working in a public office is very stressful. So, it is important to preserve our idealism and positivity. For this, we must find a life beyond our job or money. Ultimately, it is about how to live happily. I am glad that this Oasis workshop has given you a way to work with your heart and help you feel this realisation. Your responses tell me it was a resounding success. I thank Oasis for this. ~ Shri NKS Umesh (IAS), Ernakulam District Collector
Thank You Sir, for your Life-Centred Outlook
