“..to stay ahead, you need to focus on your
ability to continuously adapt… For
students, it’s not just about acquiring
knowledge, but about how to learn. For the

intellectual complacency is not our
friend and that learning – not just new
things but new ways of thinking – is a life-
long endeavour.”
