President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa says discipline is the highest virtue in the life of a military officer.
Accepting the 96th passing out parade held at the Army Faculty of Science, Diyatalawa this morning, President Rajapaksa said optimism, self-confidence, and trust in the rest of the team are the heart of a leader’s success.
The President said it was a feature of the Army to pay close attention to even simple tasks and to nurture the ability to work collectively.
The Head of State said no matter how capable or talented a person is, he cannot succeed without the support of others.
President Rajapaksa added setbacks are part of the path and the leader must be able to face them successfully and make bold decisions.
