Graduates told to value their potential and use it wisely

INSTITUTE of Banking and Business Management (IBBM) executive director Johnson Pundari says one of the greatest trategies in life is to watch potential fade away without making use of it.
He passed on that message to his students at the institute’s 65th graduation in Port Moresby yesterday.
Pundari encouraged the graduating class to give their best in their work and endeavours.
He said there was a wealth of potential instilled in each and every one of them and they should all make use of it before it was too late.
“One of the greatest tragedies in life is to watch the potentials die without making use of it,” Pundari said.
ExxonMobil PNG public and government affairs manager Robert Aisi told students that what they would get out of life depended what they put in and the values they held.
He said that the values the graduating class had were just as important as the diploma or degree they had.
“Integrity makes us more responsible because it reminds us that our actions and decisions have broader implications”, Aisi said.
Fifty-seven Papua New Guineans graduated with Australian certificates, diplomas and bachelors in various banking and business management courses.
Six of them graduated with Masters in Business Administration (MBA) from the Torrens University, in Australia.
Most of the graduates were sponsored by their employers to upgrade their qualification
