‘The Power of Word’ (My last post) reminds me my elective
classes in my college days. I feel happy and proud to say that I was a student
of Prof. Alwin Roger (sorry, Prof.
Success - that is how he likes to be called and that is how his nameplate in
the staffroom is) who inspired me through his wonderful sessions.
Usually, the students feel easy to clear English courses
provided by the English department, and all would prefer the same as elective. The
English department allocates more students from history and economics department
to the elective classes offered, since those students feel difficult to take
other courses from other departments. Very few from other departments are allocated
to this English Course. I was from Mathematics department and got a wonderful
opportunity to be a part of the English Course. The course provided in English department was
handled by Prof. Success.
The students generally don’t give much importance to the
elective classes, so most of them used to bunk the classes. This happens with
all the departments. Exceptionally only Prof. Success classes were always
packed. That’s the kind of interest he brought in all the students to listen
him. He influenced everyone with his inspirational talks. He is a psychologist too.
He tells us, ‘The words we use to communicate are very
important’ and he never uses a negative word in any of his speech or
conversations. That impressed me a lot. Generally while taking attendance in
the class, other professors used to call the roll numbers of the student and we
say ‘Yes sir/Present sir’. He is different from others, He used to call the
students as ‘The winner of Rs.101(Roll number) Crores ’ and we reply him as
‘Success’. And if the student is absent then we should tell ‘Enjoy’, since he
would be enjoying his leave somewhere.
He says, ‘The word has power, with the word we can do magic.
Choose a positive word for you and keep telling it often. That gives you
energy. That gives you hope. That gives you courage and confidence. That makes
you feel happy. That brings you positive thoughts. That makes you achieve your
goal. That makes you dream high. The energy it produced will reflect in you and
you will reflect to others, such that you can impress and inspire others’. He
proved himself by inspiring all our students and we are reflecting him today.
This is how he slowly taught us about positive thinking and
the importance of the words. He brought changes in many life’s and continuing
the same now. On behalf of all his students, I would like to thank and dedicate
this post to him. I also wish him all success in all his journeys.
God
is Success.
