NCP leader Hasnat Abdullah has urged young people to discover their true passions and pursue them with confidence, rather than being forced into careers dictated by societal pressure. Speaking at a reception program for university aspirants, Abdullah emphasized that not everyone needs to study at a university or secure top grades to succeed in life. “Each person has their own path to success,” he said. He pointed out that a lack of interest in academics is not a crime, but failing to be a good human being is unacceptable. “Some excel in cooking, others in painting or singing—these too can become professions. What matters is identifying your skills and interests,” Abdullah noted, warning that imposed education and career choices often destroy potential. Highlighting the importance of empathy and ethical living, he added: “Whatever we become—doctor, engineer, artist, or anything else—we must at least ensure that no one suffers because of us. Even if we cannot help others, we must never cause harm.” Abdullah further stressed the need for prayer and patience in achieving goals. “True success comes only through these two strengths,” he concluded.
