May you see the wisdom of Asking the right questions Rather than giving the right answers May God bless you with enough foolishness To believe that you really can make a difference And do what some claim cannot be done. May you live simply, act justly, speak honestly And at the end of it all Be thankful that your life Has touched a thousand lives These inspiring words are a part of the convocation benediction rendered by Fr. Francis de Melo, at the Convocation Ceremony held at the Xavier Institute of Engineering (XIE) on 2nd Feb 2015.
