Do not let the world change you but, now that you have completed your studies, act to change the world, a commerce graduate urged fellow students yesterday.

Gabriel Pace was addressing the 16th graduation ceremony at the University of Malta.

“For the past two summers I did voluntary work in Albania and one of the challenges I faced was the language barrier.

“A few days before I left on this journey, a friend of mine told me: ‘Don’t let the world change your smile but let your smile change the world.’

“The language barrier was an issue throughout the whole trip but I decided that this was not going to hold me back. So I used my smile instead of words,” Mr Pace said, adding that attitude proved successful.

“Do not let the world change or demoralise you. With a small action, all of us can be tomorrow’s pioneers and change the world without even knowing,” he added.

Earlier, banking and finance graduate Carl Cutajar also called on fellow graduates to use the knowledge gained over the past years because “the best way to predict the future is to create it”.
