He firmly believes that knowledge is one of the few legacies that endure forever.

His profession is his passion. Thereafter, he immerses himself in books, constantly expanding his knowledge, and finds joy in mentoring sessions, where he shares wisdom and learns from others, fostering growth and inspiration

The loss of his mother became the devastating turning point in Oscar's life — a moment where he suddenly felt hollow despite his success as a lecturer and an assistant professor. Through profound grief, Oscar promised that one day, he would be a professor. In Islam, certain deeds continue to benefit a person even after death, and among them is the sharing of useful knowledge. With this in mind, Oscar dedicated himself to a lifelong pursuit of learning and teaching, hoping that every lesson he imparted would serve as a blessing, not only to his students but also to his beloved mother, even beyond this world

Out of his professional endeavours, he finds true joy in the warmth of his family. Whether it’s sharing stories over a meal, creating cherished memories through short vacation, or simply enjoying the comfort of their presence, he treasures every second spent with them. At his current age, he avoids unprofessional activities outside work that take up too much of his time with his family

Discipline, consistency, persistence, and resilience — these are the cornerstones of success. Problems may come, but take it is as a challenge to rise and to push forward stronger and sooner. Beyond that, emotional intelligence and spirituality play equally vital roles. There must be ups and downs in life, but what truly defines us is our resilience — the ability to rise, adapt, and push forward with unwavering determination. Work should be beyond financial rewards, but to leave a meaningful imprint for society. Success is not just measured in wealth, but in the difference we make in the lives of others.
