  "account": "Former police officer V. V. Lakshminarayana advised students to seek inspiration from figures other than politicians and celebrities for lessons in leadership. At a program organized by Junior Chamber International (JCI) in Tirupati on Friday, he emphasized that leadership is a responsibility, not an easy title. \"A leader should set goals and guide others towards success,\" he stated. \"Leadership exists not only in politics, but among scientists, doctors, farmers, economists, astronomers, and administrators.\" The motivational speaker also viewed failure as a temporary setback rather than the end of one's journey. \"Low marks should not disappoint you, but should become a valuable lesson,\" he advised. Concerned about the time students spent on social media, gaming, and watching reels, Lakshminarayana urged them to use their time wisely for education, skill development, and personal growth. The program was inaugurated by MLC Dr. Cipai Subramaniyam and TTD Trust Board member G. Bhanuprakash Reddy. JCI India International Director N.B. Harshavardhan Reddy spoke about the importance of developing leadership skills alongside academics. Social entrepreneur K. Pavan highlighted the need for determination and consistent effort. JCI Tirupati Power president P. Gautham Kumar and Zone 26 president K. Pramodh Kumar were among the attendees.",
