Ram : I remember (that) you once said (that) you were very much interested in Civil
w
Engineering.
Raghu : Yes. You are right. But my parents are pestering me to choose software field.
Ram : Either software or hardware, it’s brain ware that’s a must. Establish a civil
consulting Agency. Today construction field is widening unimaginably fast and
there is a lot of demand for civil engineers.

Raghu : Thank you very much dear Ram for the boost up you have given. Really you
have spoken my mind. I am very much grateful to you. As my uncle is a big and
renowned civil Contractor, he too asks me to go for civil engineering.
Ram : Then go ahead, don’t hesitate. See Raghu, if one wants to succeed, one should
put a lot of effort into what one chooses. If you want to be a cobbler, be the best
cobbler. To be a cobbler is not wrong but not to be the best cobbler is wrong.

Raghu : Thank you my dear Ram for your encouragement.
