Cherish your time

Dr. Tuan advised more than 5,000 new students: "Everyone's time budget is limited. Therefore, you should cherish your time. Always remember that time passed will never come back. Every day, every hour, every minute are moments that we cannot get back. Therefore, use them meaningfully.

Set clear goals and plans for yourself. Don't waste time on useless things. I hope that each year that passes, you will have a new awareness of life, of your career and of yourself. Let's learn to love and be compassionate so that we can live a meaningful and rewarding youth.

We want you to not only become good at your job, but also be kind-hearted people who love and help those around you. Because true success is not only measured by money or fame, but also by how many other people you have helped and changed their lives."
