‘Do Epic Shit’- Guest Session by Mr Ankur Warikoo Mr Ankur Warikoo, an Internet Entrepreneur, Mentor, and Angel Investor visited the IILM University to motivate the students during the orientation program. With his charismatic attitude, Mr Warikoo easily put all the students at ease and avidly talked about how college was simply an extension of school with a lot more to do. He explained to all how it was okay to not know how to do something as long as we have a goal in mind, because 'getting lost' is a journey which helps navigate life. Mr Warikoo shared his own experience in college and told the students that they needed to keep in mind his signature catchphrase, 'Do Epic Shit' while maneuvering through college life. He reminded us that the three years of college are supposed to be the best years of your life and insisted on the following important points: • Be with people who change your perspective: Everyone does something for a reason. Sit with new people at the lunch table every day that will help acquaint you as well as force you to respect new perspectives. • Entitlement is causing the world angst: “I am awesome” or “The world should bow down to me” are a wrong perspective to have because having been lucky to be born privileged doesn’t command respect, working hard to earn a position does. peace.
