the 10th CONVOCATION::UTP

|

Last Sunday, Petronas University of Technology at Tronoh, Perak well known as UTP celebrated its 10th Convocation, witnessed a total of 1,190 of its students graduated in their respective field of studies or disciplines.

In his speech, Yg Berbahagia Dato’ Shamsul Azhar Abbas – the President and Chief Executive Officer of Petronas who was also proclaimed as the Pro Chancellor of the university, shared his thoughts and reminded the students to be more professional matured and mentally prepared with the challenges that they are going to face in the next chapter of their journey. Few of his words and phrases has attracted my attention and inspired me. Among others:
"You will have realized that in life, no success is ever one person’s glorious achievements alone, but that it typically stands on the often imperceptible, yet no less profound, contributions of those around you – just as your achievements today do.” He added, “If you always bear these thoughts in mind, remain steadfast by their lessons and recall with humility the sacrifices of those who have helped you attain success, I am certain you will not go wrong in life.”

“You will need to know how to strike the right balance between being principled and being practical, when is that you should insist on the ideal and when yet to relent in the face of life’s limitations.”

UTP is also synonym with one of the Yayasan Yusuf iconic figure – Zailan of the DRN whose finger print could be found everywhere in its main campus at Tronoh, Perak Darul Ridzuan.
