Any valuable advice would you like to the students for them to have a prosperous career ahead?

“Always try to better yourself”

Never be yourself. Being yourself is a myth. Always try to better yourself. Make yourself worthy of your success. If you're too comfortable in your job or your career, you won't think of setting new goals. Challenge yourself, every single day. A career should always be an incremental graph, not a stagnant one. So does your life. Grow every day.
