Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi on Saturday told students of a private college here that setting rigid boundaries and getting trapped in narrow definitions can never bring about change.

"Change is not as easy as it looks. If you want to lead institutions, if you want problems to be solved, don't set rigid boundaries for yourself, don't get trapped in narrow definitions. You need to understand that everything is connected in this world," Gandhi told students at the Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies here.

"When I was younger and sitting where you are, I use to think that lots of things need to be changed and change is relatively easy . Now, with experience, I know that change is not easy," he added.

Gandhi further said that the nation's power has always come from the strength of ideas.

"Don't be swayed by waves, use your own mind. Don't put labels on things and industries. Labels are human invention, not the Universe's," he added.
