“The diplomas that graduates received today are very meaningful and important because it is accreditation for each person of knowledgeable capability in various academic fields as you have studied diligently and are ready to apply available knowledge and skills to the business of creative work. On this occasion, I would like to mention two things about work for your consideration.  First, setting certain goals, scope, and work principles will help to be able to work successfully and directly and also prevents and eliminates delays, extravagance, and waste. Second, there may be some obstacles and problems that arise during work that are hard to avoid but may help in practicing and refining the knowledge and abilities of our people at a high level. Therefore, no matter what your work is, you should set specific goals for performance and take appropriate measures to achieve the goal. If any obstacle or problem arises, please always keep in mind that it is normal for work. You should be stable, use your intelligence to consider problems carefully and thoroughly, and then solve them correctly. The work done will be carried out efficiently and completed according to set goals. Therefore, the graduates have to apply what has been set forth as ideas and practices.  You will be able to work and create success and prosperity for yourselves, society, and the nation and that is the meaning and importance of a degree."
