Chairman of Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS) Board of Directors Anwar Aldin has said hard work and honesty take people to the height of their dreams.

"Hard work with honesty to achieve one's dreams takes a person to the height of those dreams," he told a farewell reception for students of four schools and madrasas participating in this year's SSC and Dakhil examinations at Gazaria in Munshiganj today.

Addressing the students, the BSS Chairman said they are the future architects of the nation. "Dreams inspire people to move forward and give them the courage to grow. The bigger the dream, the bigger the person. A person is as big as his or her dream," he said.

He added that dreaming alone is not enough, as dedication, continuous effort, discipline and a strong mindset are essential to turn dreams into reality.

Anwar urged the students to focus on their studies and become competent citizens. He also emphasized that honesty, discipline and hard work are the keys to success. Alongside academic results, moral values and human qualities are equally important, he added.

The BSS Chairman further advised students to use their time properly to develop skills and protect themselves from the harmful influence of drugs and social media misuse.
