First of all, I would like to wish you all the best in your future life, which is the wish of all the professors and alumni of the department. There are also a few other things that I would like to remind you. Always remember, life is definitely a bumpy road and it is impossible to have smooth sailing all the time. Everyone falls down sometimes, especially in work and in love. Failure or betrayal in the workplace is a common occurrence, and a dilemma that almost every successful person will encounter at least once in their lifetime.

But, from the perspective of a whole life’s timeline, this failure is just a brief moment in time. So, dust yourself off and move forward bravely. You can be sad for a while, but don't stay in a state of self-pity for too long. As for disappointment in your love life… this is an even more common and ordinary episode in life. Think about it, you are not his (or her) best lover, and he (or she) is not your favorite – you are just passing by on the road of life for a moment to look back on and laugh. You don't have to convince yourself that you love each other, but you can definitely love yourself and give yourself a chance to go to the next beautiful stop.

You don't have to convince yourselves that you love each other, but you can definitely love yourself and give yourself a chance to move on to something better. A person's life is both long and short. Besides being busy with success and failure, there are two things that are worth pursuing in a lifetime. The first is health. As the saying goes, health is wealth. Without health, no matter how many 0s there are in your bank book, your total is really 0. The second is the pursuit of a better self. As Professor Tai Ma said, young people should be brave enough to dream.

Professor Der-Ming Liou said that knowledgeable people cannot pretend to be neutral. Many other professors have said many other words of wisdom – I still have a large book of them. But to sum up the life advice that these professors give students, it is to go forward, have your own ideals and persistence, and pursue a better you! Good luck to everyone!

I am very honored to be a part of National Sun Yat-sen University Department of Finance. The faculty members of our department all have Ph.D.s from top universities in Taiwan and abroad, and they have both theoretical and practical experience, and the research results between them are even more fruitful. In addition to having both theoretical and practical experience, their research results are even more fruitful. At the same time, the special geographical location of the school, with the mountains facing the sea, the quiet environment makes studying and researching in such an atmosphere a very happy thing.

In particular, the curriculum of the Ph.D. program in Finance is very rich and diversified, and students can integrate their expertise in financial management into related academic fields according to their future directions and interests. I would encourage all students to interact with faculty members during the Ph.D. program to strengthen their professional knowledge, enhance their problem solving and communication skills, and actively participate in international seminars and academic activities held on and off campus to enhance their international perspective and research horizons.

In addition, the Department of Finance provides many channels for students to apply for scholarships. With the encouragement and guidance of my advisor, I was able to apply for various grants both on and off campus, which helped me greatly in my study process and self-affirmation. Finally, I would like to pass on the words of encouragement from my mentor to current students who will become elite in finance or academia. We should continue to challenge ourselves and embrace failure, because often what we lack is not opportunity but the ability to seize it!
