Youth is the most precious time for everyone, but a beautiful youth is also short and easy to pass. President Ouyang urged the students to spend their youth seriously and expressed his expectations and hopes for the graduates with three points.
First, to be an educated person. I hope that students will read more useless books after graduation, and write their thesis on the earth of the motherland. Second, to be a person with pattern and execution. Encourage students to look at the big picture and start at the small one. Open the pattern to see yourself, all beings, and heaven and earth. Third, be a person who loves his work. Only when you love your work and enjoy your work, you will be able to get rid of the worldly prejudices, keep your inner peace and achieve something great.
Finally, facing the students who will leave school soon, President Ouyang sent his most sincere wishes: May you be warm in three winters, may you not be cold in spring; may you have a light in the dark and an umbrella in the rain; may you be accompanied by a good man along the way.
Teachers' representative's speech
As a representative of teachers, Mr. Gao Ge gave a speech to all graduates with the theme of a few words with students.
First, clear positioning, no matter what position you are in or what work you are engaged in, first of all, be clear about your position; second, treat others well, unless there is enough evidence to exclude, always make a presumption of goodwill towards others and keep a friendly heart towards others. Third, treat yourself well, occasionally relaxed too tightly wound, to give yourself a little rest and recuperation opportunities. The fourth is to dare to be ordinary, to dare to be ordinary but not to be willing to be ordinary, to hold the heart to pursue excellence, to pursue excellence in the ordinary.
Mr. Gao Ge sincerely hoped that no matter what environment students are in, they can hold the sincerity, adhere to the bottom line of human being, add bricks to the national construction of the rule of law and contribute their own strength. Finally, Mr. Gao Ge wished the students a happy journey to the happy station.
