Conclusion – Keeping the technical aspect aside, all three experts sounded in unison on the most important aspects which must be included in the journey irrespective of which field, sector, or company you want to go to.  

- Upskill – One must keep learning something new every now and then, not necessarily technical learning, any kind of learning that adds value to your being. 

- Hard work – There is no substitute for hard work. It builds character, contributes to success, provides a living, and promotes happiness. 

- Never hesitate to ask a Mentor – when in doubt, reach out to mentors. Mentors are always up to spread their knowledge as much as possible, they would be delighted to be there for you.  

Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all love of what you are doing or learning to do.

Once again thanks for your love and support,

See you at the next session!
