We must make a greater effort to
help students discover their
interests and passions, through
education and career guidance...
We then match student interests
with their course of study as much
as possible during the admissions
process…
As Confucius says, 知之者不如好之者,好之者不如乐之者: somebody
who knows cannot match someone
who wants to know, and somebody
who wants to know cannot match
somebody who loves to know.
