Sayema believes that leveling grounds is completely fine because great things happen unexpectedly. “I kept kicking radio but it kept coming after me,” said Sayema while addressing the passionate freshers of Bennett University on July 25. The
Purani Jeans’ host shared some valuable life mantras with the talented students of Mass Communication to become successful professionals and good human beings.
“Be true to yourself”
Sayema asked the students to be okay with their differences as those differences make them unique individuals. “All of us have a different bent of mind and heart,” explained Sayema. The talented RJ shared several instances of her life with the excited audience. “I wanted to become a lecturer at Delhi University like my father and I did all I could to not join radio but here I am,” said Sayema.
“Do what you love”
RJ Sayema believes that being true to oneself and doing things one loves will help in the long run. Sayema said, “You only excel when something you love doing becomes your profession. Do whatever comes to your mind and do it so much passion that your hard work shines,” Sayema told the students to follow their hearts and love what they do as she believes that a person’s heart is closest to his being. “It is not radio that I love, it’s my work that I love. You give me any work and I will shine because my work is my passion,” said Sayema.
“Compete with yourself”
“I have a very stiff competition with myself and that is the most difficult task,” said Sayema telling the students that one should only compete with oneself to become a better professional and a human being. She emphasized that one should think of no one as their competitor but themselves. “You need to be a good and a 360-degree talent nowadays,” shares Sayema.
Talking about radio Sayema emphasized that radio is the only medium that helps you make pure relationships which are free from any cultural and status bias. Radio connects people and helps them make very strong relationships. Sayema believes that radio is that one medium which will never die. “The relationships I have with my listeners are my real earnings,” said Sayema reminiscing some of her beautiful experiences with her listeners.
