What do you expect from an IEEE Young Professionals Sri Lanka?

I except young professionalism from an IEEE young professionals Sri Lanka mainly as it this is IEEE Young Professionals Sri Lanka is a great organization where they build up the professional background of the youngsters who have already selected their career in  Engineering and Technology fields. 

Leadership which is the process of achieving a goal with the effort of the team, social influence, surpassing all the barriers that come across when moving towards success and so on, is another good quality that I expect from an IEEE Young Professionals Sri Lanka. Commitment is an essential quality that a person should consist within his or herself in order to make their life and career success, so I expect commitment from an IEEE Young Professionals, Sri Lanka, as it can do great work to the society, to the future and is a great factor that is needed when becoming a young professional. Working as a team is one of the hardest activity but once you cooperate with it you will always see it as the easiest activity and this is one thing that I accept from an IEEE Young Professionals Sri Lanka. Lastly, the thing that I expect is Passion. If a person has passion, he or she can do anything that is even impossible.

According to my point of view, I think having the knowledge and skills based on the field that you are involved in is not sufficient to become a young professional. Because a Professional should have good qualities as I have mentioned above within them to become a really young professional. So I think all the existing IEEE Young Professionals Sri Lanka consist of the things that I accept from an  IEEE Young Professionals Sri Lanka.
