Live in the here and now and put everything you have into everything that you do, theatre studies graduate Ruth Borg told friends and other graduates during last night’s University of Malta graduation ceremony.
“Our knowledge of the greatest theories, discoveries and inventions of our respective fields should not cause us to freeze in the fear that we will never be capable of such magnitude, but it should propel and remind us that now it is our time, our time to give something to the world.”
Ms Borg encouraged those graduating to embrace the ordinary, be curious and to embrace the absurdities of life.
Equipped with the experiences of university, graduates going out into the working world should not be afraid of making mistakes and instead appreciate making them.
“Make interesting mistakes, make amazing mistakes, and make glorious and fantastic mistakes. Let us leave the world more interesting than we found it. Let us be curious, infuse our work with love and then serve the world with our art,” Ms Borg said.
