Li Ka-shing's inspirational speech: acting hero of his own destiny

Good afternoon, I am very happy to be with you today to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the establishment of Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business.

When I was fourteen years old, a fellow countryman who would look at me said to my mother: Your son is blind and skinny, and it is difficult to become a big weapon in the future. He is safe and steadfast, and he can do it all the time. It is okay to make a living, but I am afraid that there is no blessing!

At that time, my mother had just lost her husband, and this made her sad. My mother put the disappointment aside, comforting and encouraging me to say: Acheng! It’s hard to calculate, and God will certainly treat people who are kind and hard. It’s hard, as long as the family is together, it’s not bad. I certainly believe in my mother, but I believe in myself! I ask my mother to rest assured that I believe in the future that only the future created by my own hands is the only fate that can be trusted.

At that time, our family lived in the tragic songs of war, father's illness, and poverty triple ensemble. Looking up at the white clouds, the foreground is awkward, and the screaming of the sky, the human feelings are like the shadows, the Quartet did not respond. My only belief is to build a better self to build a better future.

In my eyes, the future and tomorrow are two different things. The fate and destiny are different. Tomorrow is only a new day, and the future is the result of constant choice in the contingency of one's life. Pursuing self and striving to improve yourself is a positive driving force. When you put your mind, imagination and action into a movement, you will practice yourself in the unlimited opportunities of technology, humanities and business. Knowledge, responsibility and goals will become wisdom, and life is not necessarily It is the blueprint for fate.

Your success in pursuing yourself, the future is bright and broad, what is your pursuit of the next stage? What is your value orientation, what is your ideal? What are we living for? The thousands of people in the world still live today. Is it our duty to bear the responsibility of society for the tragic, lonely, poor and desperate valley?

It is a task for those who have the ability to seek happiness for mankind. There are many creative and ambitious people and groups in history, working together to promote social progress in the pursuit of selflessness. There is an element of unmeasurable and eternal value between heaven and earth, which can only be enjoyed by people with a sense of mission. This is not a secret, but unfortunately, what the three-year-old child knows is not for everyone to do. Looking back on the past, life is like a dream, a dream has passed, and seventy years have passed. The thin, godless teenager that the fellows have looked down on has always established self and self-confidence to pursue selflessness.

Dear students, you live in an era of opportunity. On this land full of opportunities, I am convinced that your achievements must be higher and better than me. The energy must be greater than me. We are not necessarily the heroes who save the world, but We must keep abreast of righteousness, righteousness, and righteous thoughts. We should be able to respond to the society with high voices: we have never been unrighteous and unhealthy in our lives. I hope that building and watching the future for the next generation is the commitment of every student of Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business. Let us share our vision and build a better world. We can live our nation in dignity, freedom and happiness for generations. Wonderful.
