In a powerful show of QI Group’s commitment to education and future generations, our Founder and Executive Chairman, Vijay Eswaran, recently spent time with the bright young minds at Quest International University (QIU).
Eswaran, whose vision was instrumental in founding QIU, shared his experiences, insights, and timeless wisdom with students. True to his mission of building a strong educational legacy for Asia, he emphasised the crucial role QIU plays in nurturing world-class graduates who are ready to make a real difference in society.
A Heartfelt Homecoming
Addressing the students, he opened the session with warmth, humour, and humility. Reflecting on his upbringing, he described himself as a “small town boy” at heart, sharing vivid stories from his early years growing up in various small towns all over Malaysia.
His message was simple but powerful: success is not about titles or appearances, but about character, resilience, and perseverance.
He urged the students to live in the moment and treasure every second. As he put it, be grateful, be alive, and make each moment count.
In many ways, the session felt like a homecoming. For Vijay Eswaran, QIU isn’t just another project—it’s a deeply personal legacy, built on a dream to uplift generations through education.
Lessons That Go Beyond the Classroom
Throughout the lively session, he spoke candidly about life after graduation. He didn’t sugar-coat the challenges ahead but offered real-world advice to help students thrive.
Among the most memorable lessons he shared:
Adapt, Adjust, Accommodate: Life will throw curveballs. Success, he said, depends on being flexible and resilient, much like the wild grass that weathers every storm.
Discipline and Loyalty Matter: In today’s fast-moving world, he reminded students that timeless values like hard work, discipline, and loyalty still form the backbone of lasting success.
Love What You Do: He encouraged students to find love in whatever they do. When passion drives you, work no longer feels like a burden—it becomes a journey you embrace.
Rejection Is Part of Growth: Rejection isn’t failure. It’s part of the learning process. His advice? Stay hungry, stay foolish, and keep moving forward with determination.
QIU: A Home for Dreamers and Doers
His session wasn’t just an inspiring talk but a powerful affirmation of what makes QIU truly special.
At QIU, education goes far beyond textbooks. It’s about nurturing resilience, character, and a deep sense of purpose. Students aren’t just prepared to survive the world – they are groomed to lead and transform it.
As he emphasised, QIU, located in Perak, Malaysia, is not just a university. It is a living legacy – a place where young minds are empowered to find their voice, pursue their dreams, and build a better world.
At the heart of this mission lies QI Group’s unwavering belief: the greatest investment we can make is in education – and in the limitless potential of our youth.
