　　各位同学、各位领导：

　　大家上午好！（掌声）

　　非常高兴许校长给我这么崇高的荣誉，谈一谈我在北大的体会。（掌声）

　　可以说，北大是改变了我一生的地方，是提升了我自己的地方，使我从一个农村孩子最后走向了世界的地方。毫不夸张地说，没有北大，肯定就没有我的今天。北大给我留下了一连串美好的回忆，大概也留下了一连串的痛苦。正是在美好和痛苦中间，在挫折、挣扎和进步中间，最后找到了自我，开始为自己、为家庭、为社会能做一点事情。

　　学生生活是非常美好的，有很多美好的回忆。我还记得我们班有一个男生，每天都在女生的宿舍楼下拉小提琴，（笑声）希望能够引起女生的注意，结果后来被女生扔了水瓶子。我还记得我自己为了吸引女生的注意，每到寒假和暑假都帮着女生扛包。（笑声、掌声）后来我发现那个女生有男朋友，（笑声）我就问她为什么还要让我扛包，她说为了让男朋友休息一下（笑声、掌声）。我也记得刚进北大的时候我不会讲普通话，全班同学第一次开班会的时候互相介绍，我站起来自我介绍了一番，结果我们的班长站起来跟我说：“俞敏洪你能不能不讲日语？”（笑声）我后来用了整整一年时间，拿着收音机在北大的树林中模仿广播台的播音，但是到今天普通话还依然讲得不好。

　　人的进步可能是一辈子的事情。在北大是我们生活的一个开始，而不是结束。有很多事情特别让人感动。比如说，我们很有幸见过朱光潜教授。在他最后的日子里，是我们班的同学每天轮流推着轮椅在北大里陪他一起散步。（掌声）每当我推着轮椅的时候，我心中就充满了对朱光潜教授的崇拜，一种神圣感油然而生。所以，我在大学看书最多的领域是美学。因为他写了一本《西方美学史》，是我进大学以后读的第二本书。

　　为什么是第二本呢？因为第一本是这样来的，我进北大以后走进宿舍，我有个同学已经在宿舍。那个同学躺在床上看一本书，叫做《第三帝国的兴亡》。所以我就问了他一句话，我说：“在大学还要读这种书吗？”他把书从眼睛上拿开，看了我一眼，没理我，继续读他的书。这一眼一直留在我心中。我知道进了北大不仅仅是来学专业的，要读大量大量的书。你才能够有资格把自己叫做北大的学生。（掌声）所以我在北大读的第一本书就是《第三帝国的兴亡》，而且读了三遍。后来我就去找这个同学，我说：“咱们聊聊《第三帝国的兴亡》”，他说：“我已经忘了。”（笑声）

　　我也记得我的导师李赋宁教授，原来是北大英语系的主任，他给我们上《新概念英语》第四册的时候，每次都把板书写得非常的完整，非常的美丽。永远都是从黑板的左上角写起，等到下课铃响起的时候，刚好写到右下角结束。（掌声）我还记得我的英国文学史的老师罗经国教授，我在北大最后一年由于心情不好，导致考试不及格。我找到罗教授说：“这门课如果我不及格就毕不了业。”，罗教授说：“我可以给你一个及格的分数，但是请你记住了，未来你一定要做出值得我给你分数的事业。”（掌声）所以，北大老师的宽容、学识、奔放、自由，让我们真正能够成为北大的学生，真正能够得到北大的精神。当我听说许智宏校长对学生唱《隐形的翅膀》的时候，我打开视频，感动得热泪盈眶。因为我觉得北大的校长就应该是这样的。（掌声）

　　我记得自己在北大的时候有很多的苦闷。一是普通话不好，第二英语水平一塌糊涂。尽管我高考经过三年的努力考到了北大——因为我落榜了两次，最后一次很意外地考进了北大。我从来没有想过北大是我能够上学的地方，她是我心中一块圣地，觉得永远够不着。但是那一年，第三年考试时我的高考分数超过了北大录取分数线七分，我终于下定决心咬牙切齿填了“北京大学”四个字。我知道一定会有很多人比我分数高，我认为自己是不会被录取的。没想到北大的招生老师非常富有眼光，料到了三十年后我的今天。（掌声）但是实际上我的英语水平很差，在农村既不会听也不会说，只会背语法和单词。我们班分班的时候，五十个同学分成三个班，因为我的英语考试分数不错，就被分到了A班，但是一个月以后，我就被调到了C班。C班叫做“语音语调及听力障碍班”。（笑声）

　　我也记得自己进北大以前连《红楼梦》都没有读过，所以看到同学们一本一本书在读，我拼命地追赶。结果我在大学差不多读了八百多本书，用了五年时间（掌声）。但是依然没有赶超上我那些同学。我记得我的班长王强是一个书癖，现在他也在新东方，是新东方教育研究院的院长。他每次买书我就跟着他去，当时北大给我们每个月发二十多块钱生活费，王强有个癖好就是把生活费一分为二，一半用来买书，一半用来买饭菜票。买书的钱绝不动用来买饭票。如果他没有饭菜票了就到处借，借不到就到处偷。（笑声）后来我发现他这个习惯很好，我也把我的生活费一份为二，一半用来买书，一半用来买饭菜票，饭票吃完了我就偷他的。（笑声掌声）

　　毫不夸张地说，我们班的同学当时在北大，真是属于读书最多的班之一。而且我们班当时非常地活跃，光诗人就出了好几个。后来挺有名的一个诗人叫西川，真名叫刘军，就是我们班的。（掌声）我还记得我们班开风气之先，当时是北大的优秀集体，但是有一个晚上大家玩得高兴了，结果跳起了贴面舞，第二个礼拜被教育部通报批评了。那个时候跳舞是必须跳得很正规的，男女生稍微靠近一点就认为违反风纪。所以你们现在比我们当初要更加幸福一点。不光可以跳舞，而且可以手拉手地在校园里面走，我们如果当时男女生手拉手在校园里面走，一定会被扔到未名湖里，所以一般都是晚上十二点以后再在校园里面走。（笑声掌声）

　　我也记得我们班五十个同学，刚好是二十五个男生二十五个女生，我听到这个比例以后当时就非常的兴奋（笑声），我觉得大家就应该是一个配一个。没想到女生们都看上了那些外表英俊潇洒、风流倜傥的男生。像我这样外表不怎么样，内心充满丰富感情、未来有巨大发展潜力的，女生一般都看不上。（笑声掌声）

　　我记得我奋斗了整整两年希望能在成绩上赶上我的同学，但是就像刚才吕植老师说的，你尽管在中学高考可能考得很好，是第一名，但是北大精英人才太多了，你的前后左右可能都是智商极高的同学，也是各个省的状元或者说第二名。所以，在北大追赶同学是一个非常艰苦的过程，尽管我每天几乎都要比别的同学多学一两个小时，但是到了大学二年级结束的时候我的成绩依然排在班内最后几名。非常勤奋又非常郁闷，也没有女生来爱我安慰我。（笑声）这导致的结果是，我在大学三年级的时候得了一场重病，这个病叫做传染性侵润肺结核。当时我就晕了，因为当时我正在读《红楼梦》，正好读到林黛玉因为肺结核吐血而亡的那一章，（笑声）我还以为我的生命从此结束，后来北大医院的医生告诉我现在这种病能够治好，但是需要在医院里住一年。我在医院里住了一年，苦闷了一年，读了很多书，也写了六百多首诗歌，可惜一首诗歌都没有出版过。从此以后我就跟写诗结上了缘，但是我这个人有丰富的情感，但是没有优美的文笔，所以终于没有成为诗人。后来我感到非常的庆幸，因为我发现真正成为诗人的人后来都出事了。我们跟当时还不太出名的诗人海子在一起写过诗。后来他写过一首优美的诗歌，叫做《面朝大海，春暖花开》，我们每一个同学大概都能背。后来当我听说他卧轨自杀的时候，嚎啕大哭了整整一天。从此以后，我放下笔，再也不写诗了。（掌声）

　　记得我在北大的时候，到大学四年级毕业时，我的成绩依然排在全班最后几名。但是，当时我已经有了一个良好的心态。我知道我在聪明上比不过我的同学，但是我有一种能力，就是持续不断的努力。所以在我们班的毕业典礼上我说了这么一段话，到现在我的同学还能记得，我说：“大家都获得了优异的成绩，我是我们班的落后同学。但是我想让同学们放心，我决不放弃。你们五年干成的事情我干十年，你们十年干成的我干二十年，你们二十年干成的我干四十年”。（掌声）我对他们说：“如果实在不行，我会保持心情愉快、身体健康，到八十岁以后把你们送走了我再走。”（笑声掌声）

　　有一个故事说，能够到达金字塔顶端的只有两种动物，一是雄鹰，靠自己的天赋和翅膀飞了上去。我们这儿有很多雄鹰式的人物，很多同学学习不需要太努力就能达到高峰。很多同学后来可能很轻松地就能在北大毕业以后进入哈佛、耶鲁、牛津、剑桥这样的名牌大学继续深造。有很多同学身上充满了天赋，不需要学习就有这样的才能，比如说我刚才提到的我的班长王强，他的模仿能力就是超群的，到任何一个地方，听任何一句话，听一遍模仿出来的绝对不会两样。所以他在北大广播站当播音员当了整整四年。我每天听着他的声音，心头咬牙切齿充满仇恨。（笑声）所以，有天赋的人就像雄鹰。但是，大家也都知道，有另外一种动物，也到了金字塔的顶端。那就是蜗牛。蜗牛肯定只能是爬上去。从低下爬到上面可能要一个月、两个月，甚至一年、两年。在金字塔顶端，人们确实找到了蜗牛的痕迹。我相信蜗牛绝对不会一帆风顺地爬上去，一定会掉下来、再爬、掉下来、再爬。但是，同学们所要知道的是，蜗牛只要爬到金字塔顶端，它眼中所看到的世界，它收获的成就，跟雄鹰是一模一样的。（掌声）所以，也许我们在座的同学有的是雄鹰，有的是蜗牛。我在北大的时候，包括到今天为止，我一直认为我是一只蜗牛。但是我一直在爬，也许还没有爬到金字塔的顶端。但是只要你在爬，就足以给自己留下令生命感动的日子。（掌声）

　　我常常跟同学们说，如果我们的生命不为自己留下一些让自己热泪盈眶的日子，你的生命就是白过的。我们很多同学凭着优异的成绩进入了北大，但是北大绝不是你们学习的终点，而是你们生命的起点。在一岁到十八岁的岁月中间，你听老师的话、听父母的话，现在你真正开始了自己的独立生活。我们必须为自己创造一些让自己感动的日子，你才能够感动别人。我们这儿有富裕家庭来的，也有贫困家庭来的，我们生命的起点由不得你选择出生在富裕家庭还是贫困家庭，如果你生在贫困家庭，你不能说老爸给我收回去，我不想在这里待着。但是我们生命的终点是由我们自己选择的。我们所有在座的同学过去都走得很好，已经在十八岁的年龄走到了很多中国孩子的前面去，因为北大是中国的骄傲，也可以说是世界的骄傲。但是，到北大并不意味着你从此大功告成，并不意味着你未来的路也能走好，后面的五十年、六十年，甚至一百年你该怎么走，成为了每一个同学都要思考的问题。就本人而言，我觉得只要有两样东西在心中，我们就能成就自己的人生。

　　第一样叫做理想。我从小就有一种感觉，希望穿越地平线走向远方，我把它叫做“穿越地平线的渴望”。也正是因为这种强烈的渴望，使我有勇气不断地高考。当然，我生命中也有榜样。比如我有一个邻居，非常的有名，是我终生的榜样，他的名字叫徐霞客。当然，是五百年前的邻居。但是他确实是我的邻居，江苏江阴的，我也是江苏江阴的。因为崇拜徐霞客，直接导致我在高考的时候地理成绩考了九十七分。（掌声）也是徐霞客给我带来了穿越地平线的这种感觉，所以我也下定决心，如果徐霞客走遍了中国，我就要走遍世界。而我现在正在实现自己这一梦想。所以，只要你心中有理想，有志向，同学们，你终将走向成功。你所要做到的就是在这个过程要有艰苦奋斗、忍受挫折和失败的能力，要不断地把自己的心胸扩大，才能够把事情做得更好。

　　第二样东西叫良心。什么叫良心呢？就是要做好事，要做对得起自己对得起别人的事情，要有和别人分享的姿态，要有愿意为别人服务的精神。有良心的人会从你具体的生活中间做的事情体现出来，而且你所做的事情一定对你未来的生命产生影响。我来讲两个小故事，讲完我就结束我的讲话，已经占用了很长的时间。

　　第一个小故事。有一个企业家和我讲起他大学时候的一个故事，他们班有一个同学，家庭比较富有，每个礼拜都会带六个苹果到学校来。宿舍里的同学以为是一人一个，结果他是自己一天吃一个。尽管苹果是他的，不给你也不能抢，但是从此同学留下一个印象，就是这个孩子太自私。后来这个企业家做成功了事情，而那个吃苹果的同学还没有取得成功，就希望加入到这个企业家的队伍里来。但后来大家一商量，说不能让他加盟，原因很简单，因为在大学的时候他从来没有体现过分享精神。所以，对同学们来说在大学时代的第一个要点，你得跟同学们分享你所拥有的东西，感情、思想、财富，哪怕是一个苹果也可以分成六瓣大家一起吃。（掌声）因为你要知道，这样做你将来能得到更多，你的付出永远不会是白白付出的。

　　我再来讲一下我自己的故事。在北大当学生的时候，我一直比较具备为同学服务的精神。我这个人成绩一直不怎么样，但我从小就热爱劳动，我希望通过勤奋的劳动来引起老师和同学的的注意，所以我从小学一年级就一直打扫教室卫生。到了北大以后我养成了一个良好的习惯，每天为宿舍打扫卫生，这一打扫就打扫了四年。所以我们宿舍从来没排过卫生值日表。另外，我每天都拎着宿舍的水壶去给同学打水，把它当作一种体育锻炼。大家看我打水习惯了，最后还产生这样一种情况，有的时候我忘了打水，同学就说“俞敏洪怎么还不去打水”。（笑声）。但是我并不觉得打水是一件多么吃亏的事情。因为大家都是一起同学，互相帮助是理所当然的。同学们一定认为我这件事情白做了。又过了十年，到了九五年年底的时候新东方做到了一定规模，我希望找合作者，结果就跑到了美国和加拿大去寻找我的那些同学，他们在大学的时候都是我生命的榜样，包括刚才讲到的王强老师等。我为了诱惑他们回来还带了一大把美元，每天在美国非常大方地花钱，想让他们知道在中国也能赚钱。我想大概这样就能让他们回来。后来他们回来了，但是给了我一个十分意外的理由。他们说：“俞敏洪，我们回去是冲着你过去为我们打了四年水。”（掌声）他们说：“我们知道，你有这样的一种精神，所以你有饭吃肯定不会给我们粥喝，所以让我们一起回中国，共同干新东方吧。”才有了新东方的今天。（掌声）

　　人的一生是奋斗的一生，但是有的人一生过得很伟大，有的人一生过得很琐碎。如果我们有一个伟大的理想，有一颗善良的心，我们一定能把很多琐碎的日子堆砌起来，变成一个伟大的生命。但是如果你每天庸庸碌碌，没有理想，从此停止进步，那未来你一辈子的日子堆积起来将永远是一堆琐碎。所以，我希望所有的同学能把自己每天平凡的日子堆砌成伟大的人生。（掌声）

　　最后，我代表全体老校友向在座的三千多位新生表一个心意，我代表全体老校友和新东方把两百万人民币捐给许校长，为在座同学们的学习、活动和成长提供一点帮助。（掌声）

　　Yu Minhong classic inspirational speech in Peking University

　　Abstract: Yu Minhong is the New Oriental Education & Technology Group Chairman and President of the All-China Youth Federation, member of the Standing Committee, member of the CPPCC National committee. By the media as the most appreciation potential of the ten large enterprises one of influence China twentieth Century, 25 one of the entrepreneurs. Below is in the north for a speech at Peking University, mainly from his personal experience on the.

　　All students, members of the leadership:

　　Good morning everyone! ( applause.)

　　Very glad to President Xu gave me such a great honor, talk about my experience in Peking university. ( applause.)

　　Can say, the north is changed my life, is my own place, make me from a rural children finally moved toward the world. It is no exaggeration to say, no north, there is no me today. The North has left me with a good memory, probably also left a series of pain. It is in the good times and the bad, in frustration, struggle and progress, finally find themselves, started their own family, for the community, to do something.

　　Student life is very beautiful, there are many beautiful memories. I still remember our class had a boy, every day in the girls' dormitory ( laughter ) for violin, the hope can cause the attention of a girl, the results were later threw a water bottle girl. I remember myself in order to attract the attention of a girl, every winter and summer holiday I helped her carry bag. ( laughter, applause.) I later found out that the girl has a boyfriend, ( laughter ) I asked her why you let me carry bag, she said that in order to make the boyfriend rest ( laughter, applause.). I also remember when just entering Beijing University I do not speak Mandarin, the class first class meeting each other when introduced, I stood up and introduced himself, the results of our monitor stood up and said to me:" Yu Minhong, can you speak Japanese?" ( laughter ) I spent a whole year, with a radio in the north woods mimic radio broadcasting, but until today still don't speak good mandarin.

　　Human progress may be a lifetime thing. In the north of our lives is a beginning, not the end. There are many things especially touched people. For example, we are very lucky to met Professor Zhu Guangqian. In his last days, our classmates take turns pushing the wheelchair in the north with his walking together. ( applause) when I pushed the wheelchair when, my heart is filled with Professor Zhu Guangqian's worship, a sense of the sacred arise spontaneously. So, I read a book in the university the most is the field of aesthetics. Because he wrote a book" the history of Western Aesthetics", I entered the university after reading second books.

　　Why is the second? Because the first is that, I entered Beijing University later into the dormitory, I have already in the dormitory. The students lying on the bed to read a book, called" rise and fall of the Third Reich". So I asked him a word, I said:" in the university should read this book?" He put the book away from eyes, look at me, not I, then continued reading his book. The eye always stay in my heart. I know that entered Beijing University is not just to learn professional, to read a lot of books. You can have the qualifications to call himself a student at Peking university. ( applause.) I in the north to read the first book is" rise and fall of the Third Reich", and read three times. Later I went to this school, I said:" we talk" rise and fall of the Third Reich"", he said:" I have forgotten." ( laughter.)

　　I also remember my tutor Professor Li Funing, turned out to be the director of the English Department, he gives us the" new concept English volume fourth" when, every time the writing on the blackboard is very complete, very beautiful. Is always from the upper left corner of the blackboard writing plays, until the bell rang, the lower right corner of the end just wrote. ( applause.) I remember my English literature teacher compass of China Professor at Peking University, my last year because of a bad mood, lead to failure in the exam. I find the professor Luo said:" if I don't pass this class graduated." , Professor Luo said:" I can give you a pass mark, but please remember, you must make worth I give you score career." ( applause.) so, Beijing University teacher, knowledge, tolerance, freedom of unrestrained, so that we can truly become a student at Peking University, Peking University Spirit can really be. When I heard that President Xu Zhihong on the students sing" invisible wings" when, I open the video, moved to tears. Because I think the president should be such. ( applause.)

　　I remember in the north when there is a lot of anguish. First Mandarin is not good, second English level in a complete mess. Though my college entrance examination after three years of efforts to test to the North -- because I failed two times, the last time was accidentally entered the north. I never thought that north is I can place to go to school, she is my heart's a holy place, that never reach. But in that year, third years when I college entrance examination scores over the Peking University admits fractional line seven minutes, I finally decided to gnash the teeth in anger filled in the" Beijing University" four words. I know lots of people will have high scores than me, I think you are not accepted. Did not think of university students of the teacher very rich eye, expected in thirty years of my today. ( applause.) but my English is very poor, both in rural would not listen they did not say, only to recite the grammar and vocabulary. Our class classes, fifty students were divided into three classes, because my English test score is good, he was assigned to the A class, but a month later, I was transferred to the C class. The C class is called" the tone of voice and hearing impairment class". ( laughter.)

　　I remember you into the north before even" a dream of Red Mansions" has not read, so to see the students in reading a book, I desperately chase. The results of my university almost read part of the book, with five years of time ( applause). But there is still no catch up with my classmates. I remember my monitor Wang Qiang is a Book addiction, he is now in the new East, is the new East Education Research Institute director. Every time he buys a book I would go with him, then north to us more than 20 dollars per month cost of living, Wang Qiang has a fondness for is the one divides into two. Half the cost of living, for the purchase of books, half to buy a meal ticket. Money for buying books never move to buy tickets. If he has no meal ticket was borrowed, unable to borrow was stolen. ( laughter ) I found him the habit is very good, I also put my living expenses a is two, half to buy books, half to buy a meal ticket, ticket after I stole his. ( laughter and applause.)

　　It is no exaggeration to say, the students in our class was in the north, it is one of the most class reading. And our class was very active, light poets made several. Later the famous a poet named Xi Chuan, real name Liu Jun, is in our class. ( applause.) I remember our class open trend, was the outstanding collective, but one night we play happily, the results began to face dances, for second weeks the Ministry of education has been criticized. The dance must jump very formal, and slightly closer to that violate discipline. So now you than we had to be more happiness. Not only can dance, but also can stand hand in hand in a campus walk, if we were male and female novices in hand in the campus walk, will be thrown to the side of the lake, so generally after twelve in the evening and on campus to go. ( laughter and applause.)

　　I also remember our class of fifty students, is just twenty-five boys and twenty-five girls, I heard the proportion of later was very excited ( laughter ), I think we should be one with one. Didn't think girls are those who looked handsome boys, casual and elegant bearing. I like this don't look like, filled with rich feelings, future has tremendous potential for development, girls generally do not. ( laughter and applause.)

　　I remember I was fighting for two years in the hope of success on catch up with my classmates, but just like Lv Zhi said the teacher, even though you are in middle school college entrance examination would probably do well in the examination, is the first, but the elite talent too much, you around may be very intelligent students, also is each province one or second. So, in the north after the students is a very difficult process, although I almost every day to learn more than the other students in one or two hours, but by the end of the two year university time my result is still ranked in the class last. Very hard and very depressed, no girls love to comfort me. ( laughter.) the result is, I university in three grade when he contracted a serious illness, this disease is called infectious sexual lung tuberculosis. Then I fainted, because at that time I was reading" a dream of Red Mansions", just read the Lin Daiyu because of pulmonary tuberculosis hematemesis died in the chapter, ( laughter ) I thought my life ended, and later the Peking University Hospital doctors tell me now this illness can be cured, but will have to stay in hospital for a year. I was in the hospital for a year, depressed for a year, read a lot of books, but also wrote more poems, but never published a poem. Since then I have to write node on edge, but I have the rich emotion, but not the beautiful style of writing, so finally did become a poet. I feel very fortunate, because I found really become a poet of the people later. We follow at that time were not very famous poet Hai Zi together wrote poems. He later wrote a beautiful poem, called" face the sea, with spring", each of our students probably can back. Later, when I heard that he committed suicide by lying, crying all day. From then on, I laid down the pen, no longer a poem. ( applause.)

　　Remember me in Beijing University, the university four grade graduation, my achievement is still ranked in the last. However, when I already have a good state of mind. I know I'm in wisdom more than my classmates, but I have a kind of ability, is the continuous efforts. So in our class graduation ceremony I said so a word, now my classmates can remember, I said:" we have obtained excellent results, I was our class of backward students. But I want students rest assured, I will never give up. You five years to do the things I do for ten years, you have ten years do I do for twenty years, you have twenty years do I do for forty years". ( applause) and I said to them:" if it is not, I will be happy, healthy body, until after the age of eighty you sent me." ( laughter and applause.)

　　There is a story that can reach the top of the Pyramid, there are only two creatures, one is eagle, rely on their own talent and wings to fly up. Here we have a lot of Eagle type characters, many students learning does not require too much effort to peak. Many students may subsequently could easily in the north after graduation to enter Harvard, Yale, Oxford, Cambridge such a famous university. There are many students who is filled with gifts, don't need to learn to have such ability, for example I mentioned my monitor Wang Qiang, his ability to imitate is superior, to any place, listen to any word, listen imitates never two. So he in Beijing University radio station when the announcer when for four years. Every day I listen to his voice, heart filled with hatred gnash the teeth in anger. ( laughter ) so, talented people like eagle. However, we all know, there is another kind of animal, but also to the top of the Pyramid. It was a snail. Snail must only climb. From low to climb above may be a month, two months, or even a year, two years. In the top of the Pyramid, people really found snails. I believe that not everything is going smoothly. The snail crept up, must come down, climb up, down, and to climb. However, the students want to know is, as long as the climb to the top of the Pyramid snail, it see the world, it gains a success, with the eagles are as like as two peas. ( applause.) so, maybe we students here are the eagle, some snails. I in Beijing University, including until today, I always thought I was a snail. But I have been climbing, may not have climbed to the top of the Pyramid. But as long as you climb, enough to leave their ordered life touched day. ( applause.)

　　I often tell my students that, if our life is not for me to allow some of their own tears of the day, your life is white. Many of our students with excellent results in the north, but the north is not your study endpoints, but you in my life. In one to eighteen years, you listen to the teacher, listen to their parents, now you really start their own independent life. We must create for himself some day let oneself move, you can move others. Here we have a rich family, also have impoverished family, we start in my life without your choice was born in a rich family or impoverished family, if you were born in poor families, you can't say dad give me back, I don't want to stay here. But the end of our life is made by our own choice. We are all the students here used to go well, already at the age of eighteen to many Chinese children go to the front, because the north is the pride of China, but also can be said to be the pride of the world. However, to the North doesn't mean you ever be accomplished, it doesn't mean you can take the future road, behind the fifty years, sixty years, or even one hundred years you how to walk, as every student to think about. Personally, I think that as long as there are two things in mind, we can achieve their own life.

　　The first is called an ideal. I have a feeling that goes away, across the horizon, I called it" the desire to pass across the horizon". It is precisely because of this strong desire, so I have enough courage to keep college entrance examination. Of course, my life also has the example. For example, I have a neighbor, the very famous, is my role model for life, his name is Xu Xiake. Of course, is a neighbor five hundred years ago. But he was my neighbor, Jiangsu, Jiangyin, I also Jiangsu Jiangyin. For the worship of Xu Xiake, led directly to me at the time of college entrance examination geographical achievement test ninety-seven. ( applause) and Xu Xiake brings me to cut through this kind of feeling, so I was determined, if Xu Xiake traveled to China, I would travel around the world. And I am now realize this dream. So, as long as you have ideals, aspirations, classmates, you will succeed. All you have to do is to work hard and perseveringly in this process, the ability to endure setbacks and failures, to keep your heart expand, can make things better.

　　Second things called conscience. What conscience? Is to do good, to do for ourselves to live up to other people's things, to share with others the attitude, be willing to serve the spirit. A man with a conscience will take you from specific life middle do manifest, and what you do to your future life influence. I will tell two stories, told me to end my speech, has been occupied for a long time.

　　The first story. There is an entrepreneur and me about his university when a story, they have a class students, family is rich, each
