While giving tips to the youngsters, Khan said, “Do not be harsh towards yourself to live the goals you set. It is better to be flexible to welcome challenges and opportunities.” she also said, “Prepare yourself for failure. Whenever we start any work only think about success. We do not know that failure is part of our routine. Therefore, we should also prepare ourselves for failure from the first day so that we will not break if we fail.” She said that because usually people predict that they will get whatever they want from life, they get frustrated. Do not let happen t you, she added. She said, “Stress is not bad at all, there should be a little stress, because if there is no stress, then we will not try our best to achieve what we want.” The she gave four mantras i.e the FACE, RISE, Celebrate and Success. She later explained these formulas as well. She said, “Passion without action is 'Disaster'. If you want to get something and do not work hard for it, then you are inviting waste in your life.”

Stop wearing the blanket of problems, learn lessons from every failure, say thank you to your problems, never leave your social network, celebrate the rejections, take risks, always remember your starting point, were some tips Khan gave to graduates.
