Prof. Suharnomo mentioned that in work, there would inevitably be unpleasant aspects, so it was essential to find one’s own joy. “What makes people perform better? Internal motivation. Challenging work, do it passionately, make an effort to love it. If you are not happy in your work, it will just become a mere obligation,” he explained.

“Legacy is paramount, make a significant impact. Ensure that your presence makes a difference. Let us strive for benefit. Seeing happy people in the community should be a continuous charity and our motivation to improve. Let’s aim to be the best in Asia, in both research and teaching,” urged Prof. Suharnomo.
