Being humble does not meanletting everyone walk all overyou, Pauline Galea from theFaculty of Science told graduates during yesterday’s graduation ceremony held at the Jesuits’ church in Valletta.

“By all means, aim high, showcase your talents and develop your best skills. But always be ready to acknowledge that however much you have learned, you still know very little,” Dr Galea said.

She urged the graduates to welcome input from other people and to give time for ideas to mature.

“Be ready to listen to everyone and to learn from everyone – even the lowliest person has something important to teach. Humility makes better persons, better colleagues and better leaders.”

Also addressing the graduates was Iman Omara Farhat, who ob-tained a doctorate from the Faculty of Science.

He told his peers to continue on a path of lifelong dedication towards learning and achievement, not only within their own selves, but also to improve the standard of living of others, society and our home, planet Earth.

“This responsibility is not one to be taken lightly, and I hope that the years spent studying at this university have provided all of us with the character, determination, compassion and skills that will enable us to serve others in the future.”
