diplomas they have obtained. He says change is inevitable in life, and the only
way one could get ahead of change was constant improvement.
“Today marks an important day in your lives, yet the beginning of a journey… I am admonishing you to pursue your masters’ degrees and professional qualifications. Never get complacent. This is the only way you can keep ahead of change,” he said.
