always to try just one more time”. These inspiring words were said by the great inventor Thomas Alva Edison who developed many devices in fields such as electric power generation, mass communication, sound, recording and motion pictures. Perhaps this is what IFIM believes in- encouraging all individuals to keep up the hard work and be fearless from failures. Our institution for me is an opportunity to embrace my dreams and walk on the path of success. IFIM is a home where we all make a huge affable family, looking out for one another paving ways for one another, and most importantly loving one another.
