Managing the mind, time, expectations, emotions, communication, and values is the true essence of human values and success in life, thus said Prof J.M. Subramanya, Former Director, SDMIMD, during the SDMIMD Foundation Day Lecture held on Saturday, September 24, 2022, at SDMIMD campus, Mysore. 
 
Prof Subramanya speaking on the corporate culture and work-life, said 'duty with a good thought, good mind, the good heart, will always yield good results. The duty and responsibilities have to be performed with passion. Further, he said, God has blessed us with relationships in our lives and has left us the choice to choose friends, which we must exercise with due diligence. Wealth is a must in life, but how we earn, how it is spent and what portion we give back to society matters a lot.
