“Congratulations on finishing. It is oddly encouraging to watch the person who taught me most still going back to learn things. Very well done.”
“You have spent years telling me to keep learning, and then went and did it yourself in public where everyone could watch. Congratulations. The example landed.”
“Everything I know about this subject started with you explaining it badly to me in a corridor, and I am delighted the formal version has now caught up. Congratulations, genuinely.”
“You told almost nobody you were doing this until it was already finished, which is entirely in character and slightly infuriating. Congratulations. It is very good news.”
“You have spent years telling people to keep learning, and then went and did it yourself somewhere everybody could see, at a stage in a career where nobody would have questioned you for not bothering. That is a more useful lesson than any of the advice. Congratulations on finishing, and thank you for the example.”
“Going back to study when you are already senior enough not to need to is a deliberate choice, and it sets a useful example for everyone watching. My congratulations on finishing, and my thanks for the reminder that it remains possible.”
“Congratulations on your qualification. You have advised a good many people through their own studies over the years, so it is a pleasure to be on this side of it for once.”
“Congratulations on completing it. The qualification widens what you are able to take on, which is good for you and considerably better for everyone who relies on your advice.”
