Intel CEO Urges NTU Singapore Alumni in Silicon Valley to “Climb the Right Mountain”
Published
Intel's chief executive recently spoke to alumni of Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore who live and work in Silicon Valley, the centre of the American technology industry. In his message, he encouraged the graduates to "climb the right mountain," a phrase that means choosing carefully which goals to work towards in their careers.
The idea is simple. People can work very hard and still feel unsatisfied if their effort is directed at the wrong target. For young professionals in the technology sector, where new opportunities and fast changes appear every year, choosing the right direction can be difficult. The message suggested that graduates should think about their long-term goals before committing their time and energy to a particular path.
The event is also a reminder of the connections between NTU Singapore and the global technology industry. Many of the university's graduates work for large companies in the United States, and their success is closely watched in Singapore, where technology and innovation are important parts of the economy. Events like this help alumni stay connected to their university and to each other.
