“Humans basically have the potential to be versatile. Can humans be versatile? Here’s the recipe:
1. Try not to always stick to the same habits. Always try and try new things.
2. Update your knowledge all the time, the recipe is to be literate.
3. Lifelong learning or life long education. Grow your mindset all the time (growth mindset).
4. Frequently go on science tours, object tours and cultural product tours, because from there a lot of imagination will be born. In line with Jack Ma’s thoughts, “now is the time to compete in imagination, no longer in science”. added Prof. Dadang.

Don’t forget Prof. Dadang gave a message to new students for the 2023/2024 academic year to be more active and focused on studying in order to get very satisfying academic grades and achievements so that they can make their parents proud and also to continue to improve and maintain enthusiasm to always learn, work and innovate to Nusa and Nation.
