How to have a custom message for any required fields ?

Scenario I have tired:
I have created custom object (School) with a custom field (Address) and checked it as required.
 
Now the message is displayed as “Error: You must enter a value“ .
Instead of this message I want to display the message as “Address Is Compulsory”.
Please suggest how to do this.

Either you can do it through Validation rule or you can create Visualforce pages and put your custom message through Apexpage. Please see the link belowhttp://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/60141/how-to-display-different-error-messages-at-different-places-on-a-visualforce-pag
 
There is no other way you can achieve this in SFDC

Instead of making it required, create a validation rule to make the field mandatory. In validation rule, you can display custom message

Hey Hi Prolay,

Thanks for replying.
I know that in validation rule we can have custom message but can't we do it on the required field too.
