Speech by Md. Tanveer Raza in 2011 to Graduates
......
Batch 2006, you will fail, stumble, make a fool of yourself, people will laugh at you before you succeed. And you must succeed, because you have talent. I have seen your talents, and I am encouraged by your talent. Some of you can sing, dance, cook, play cricket, or are tech savvy. But most of all, you have the guts to take risks and the guts to see through the risks that you have taken.
You have travelled thousands of miles away to a beautiful country called China, known to you but not discovered by your peers. You have faced challenges that were expected, and you have persevered. You have received support from your family, friends, faculty, and the staff at Jiujiang University and its affiliated hospitals.
But most of all, it is your talent to face challenges and your ability to persevere that have made you achieve your dream. Never, ever let anyone tell you that you cannot achieve your dream.
