Bernal stressed the importance of trusting in oneself in order to achieve success staff and professionally, "but without forgetting to listen to your elders". "Believing you are capable of doing something is not incompatible with knowing your weaknesses and recognizing that there are people who know more than you or have more experience than you," said Bernal.

"I encourage you to incorporate service in your daily work and to give a transcendent purpose to work", she said.
