Dr. Ling's Advice to Students
- Two mottos I often remind my students:
- “Work smarter, not harder!”
- “Performance is measured by results”
- My three C’s for a successful career: Our University has the three C’s (competence, conscience, and compassion) in the vision statement; I often challenge my students with my three C’s for a successful career:
- Competence (the need to have a strong set of knowledge and skills)
- Communication (the need to communicate and present yourself well)
- Connection (the need to know the right people, be connected)
- Albert Einstein’s “Three Rules of Work:
- Out of clutter find simplicity
- From discord find harmony
- In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity”
