Not a duplicate, if you look for adding a message to starting a terminal this is the first hit you would never find those other questions with a regular google search +1 for the question – Mister Verleg Oct 30 '16 at 20:26

You can add it to your ~/.bashrc. That file is read each time a new interactive shell is launched so it will be displayed each time you launch a terminal, or log in to the console or simply run bash. For example, you could add these lines:
echo "Hi, how are 'ya?"

after login with superuser, in .bashrc append this line : echo "Hi, how are 'ya?" – smse Mar 02 '15 at 11:56

@smse why did you log in as the super user? You should do this as your regular user. Otherwise, you are modifying root's
.bashrcand not yours. – terdon Mar 02 '15 at 11:57
