Leadership students from Felltimber and Huon Campus’s took part in the first of a series of breakfasts hosted by the Youth Services sector of Wodonga City Council. Dr Alfeen Varghese (Director & Practice Principle, Daintree Medical Centre) was the guest speaker today and posed the question What Does Success Look Like”?
The discussion around this question, explored what emotional intelligence is and the part that it plays in measuring our ability to bounce back when success is not instant. Having a go, getting involved and taking up opportunities at school are the stepping stones to the many successes we will experience in life.
Education and resilience are powerful tools that we all have the ability to learn and use well, not only our own personal success but contributing to the wider world we live in . Alfeen shared how much education is valued by some of the poorest people in India in order to raise themselves out of poverty and hunger. Your success is not defined by where you come but by the challenges you set yourself and the opportunities you take in order to succeed.
