He told students that, they were no better than the intern and rather they should be prepared to face the reality on the competitive world. Mr. Stephen that, education should teach students on how to think which has not been the case to many fresh graduates. He discovered that the brains of many students whom he interviewing from top school were blank just like an empty map. This meant that, they did not have any knowledge that education system intends them to acquire.
