"I do not like frustration. I do not like to be cowed down by frustration. Life is full of challenge. One has to stuggle to face challenges," Banerjee said at a function organised by the state government to felicitate top rankers in the state's Madhyamik (Secondary) and Higher Secondary examinations this year.
Responding to a recitation by one of the students, she said the poem recited by her has a touch of frustration and said, "One should not be cowed down by frustration".
Twenty-three top rankers in the state's Madhayamik (Secondary) and another twenty-two in Higher Secondary examinations were handed over certificates and laptops.
She advised them to study hard, so that they can succeed in life.
"They should be able to turn their dreams into reality. The state government will support them.", she said at the programme where state education minister Bratya Basu was present.
