IN SHORT

Suresh Virmani stresses to future Omani generations that what is good for Oman is good for them. Personal success, he says, can never come at the expense of the country. “Your duty is towards the nation,” he advises. “Give back to the world with your knowledge, experience and time. Do not leave everything to the government.” Concluding his thought, Virmani borrows a line from late U.S. President John F. Kennedy. “Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country. Serve your country and everything will follow.”
