Sunday Observer 8th December 2019- Uwin Ariyarathna the Jack of All Trades
Anyone’s and everyone’s dream and desire is to rise and shine, academically and extra-curricular activities-wise. However, it is so elusive, only a few and rare pull-it off. Entering and expanding that list is the fine all-rounder Uwin Ariyaratne. He is in his youthful years itself and has developed the golden touch. Gold itself seems to have taken a major liking to him; medals are attracted like a magnet. The 26-year-old appears to be that wonder and well-balanced boy. But his boyish looks are steadily being taken over by a masculine man and the Kandy lad is already the owner of a number of records, in sports and in the area of academics. Ariyaratne, a past pupil of Kingswood College, Kandy and Vidyartha College, Kandy was the First XV rugby captain of Kingswood College in 2012. Continued......

There is no magic, short cuts or secret formulae for success. It is simply the night oil you burned, the meals you skipped, the sleep you lost, the sweat you broke, short term and long term strategic planning and time management . Some people are opinionated, they will talk behind your back, will try to let you down, if you were to listen to each and every one of them, you will end up with too many voices trying to rule your life. If happiness is the door that you are searching for, balance is the golden key. This is the secret, simply concentrating on what makes you happy and what keeps you balanced. It is not following others outfits it is about creating your own unique path.
