Senior cop tells 3,000 students humanity matters more than success itself

Senior Superintendent of Police Aditya Langhe delivered an extensive career guidance session to students in Firozabad as part of the special conversation series "Safalta ka Marg Adhikariyon ke Saath." The virtual session reached approximately 3,000 students online while over 80 female students attended in person at Dau Dayal Girls Inter College, where Langhe shared fundamental principles for achieving success through discipline and character.

Emphasizing the importance of humanity above all achievements, Langhe told students that becoming a good human being is life's most essential goal. He stressed that only a person with strong moral character can truly do justice to any position they hold, urging students never to lose their humanity regardless of how high they climb in their careers. He also cautioned against wasting time on social media reels and online pretense, pointing out that spending just two hours daily on phones amounts to roughly 700 hours or one month per year, time that could be invested in studies and personal development.

The senior police officer explained that success requires consistent, honest effort in chosen fields like medicine, engineering, or civil services, and does not come overnight. He clarified that there is no age limit for setting goals, noting that some find their path in childhood while others discover it in high school or college. What matters most, he said, is having genuine internal motivation to prevent exhaustion or time loss midway. Using the fictional character Batman as an example, Langhe encouraged students not to be discouraged by early setbacks or low marks, explaining that failures provide opportunities for improvement and learning.

Langhe devoted part of the session to constitutional values, telling students that the Constitution grants rights along with responsibilities. He said avoiding discrimination on the basis of religion, caste, colour or region and carrying everyone along is part of upholding constitutional values. He urged students to reject superstition and to reason from facts and evidence, and advised them to use smartphones judiciously and to be careful in choosing their friends.

Langhe also addressed constitutional values, scientific temperament, and the judicious use of smartphones. He concluded by offering six mantras for success: dream big but start small, work with daily discipline, never stop learning, embrace failures as lessons, maintain humility while helping weaker peers, and never compromise on moral character. Principal Anjum Riyaz and District School Inspector Dr Satyendra Singh attended the program.

Students put career questions to the senior officer, which he answered during the interaction. Principal Anjum Riyaz and officiating District School Inspector Dr Satyendra Singh were among those present.
