Advice on Life

The President of Limkokwing University of Creative Technology, Professor Emeritus Tan Sri Dato' Dr Lim Kok Wing, often inspires his students with words of wisdom. Even alumni remember the many pieces of advice given.

Over the years, the mentor and educationist extraordinaire has imparted not only creative skills but also uplifting words to his students from more than 90 countries. These words still echo in the recesses of their minds, words such as:

  • Have a deeper purpose; it makes the difference between what is average and what is great.
  • Life is about choice. We can choose to just complete a job or set out to do our best. It is better to attempt our best because then we test our limits. In doing this, we learn new things about ourselves and very often the work we produce will turn out to be outstanding.
  • Don’t be a spectator. Play the game of life. It’s not the strength you lack but the will. Find that will and soar.
  • Observe people and things around you. Digest what you see and retain the good things in your head.
  • Everybody should have a vision. If we have a vision of achievement, then life will have a mission.
  • A mission means having a bottom line, that is, a target. If you see a problem, solve it; don’t complain.
  • Nothing promises success like perseverance.
  • You can’t retire. You go through different phases and we keep going on. I will not call it a day before my final day. Time is so short. How could you call it a day? We don’t have enough time.
