Yu Minhong's speech: the top of the pyramid

There is a story that there are only two kinds of animals that can reach the top of the pyramid. One is the eagle, flying up by his own talent and wings. We have a lot of eagle-style characters here, and many students can learn to reach the peak without too much effort. Many students may easily enter the famous universities such as Harvard, Yale, Oxford, and Cambridge to continue their studies after Peking University graduates. There are a lot of classmates who are full of talents. If you don't need to learn, you have such talents. For example, my squad leader Wang Qiang, which I mentioned just now, his imitation ability is superb. Go to any place, listen to any sentence, listen to the imitation. It will definitely not come out. So he worked as an announcer at the Peking University Radio Station for four years. I listen to his voice every day, my heart is full of hatred. Therefore, talented people are like eagle. However, everyone knows that there is another animal that has reached the top of the pyramid. That is the snail. The snail must only climb up. It can take a month, two months, or even a year or two to climb from low to upper. At the top of the pyramid, people did find traces of snails. I believe that the snail will never climb up smoothly, and will definitely fall, climb, fall, and climb again. However, what the students need to know is that as long as the snail climbs to the top of the pyramid, the world it sees in its eyes, its achievements are exactly the same as the eagle. So maybe some of our classmates are eagle, some are snails. When I was at Peking University, including until today, I always thought that I was a snail. But I have been climbing, maybe I have not climbed to the top of the pyramid. But as long as you are climbing, it is enough to leave yourself with a life-changing day.

I often tell my classmates that if our lives don't leave some days for yourself to make your tears full, your life is white. Many of our classmates have entered Peking University with excellent results, but Peking University is by no means the end of your study, but the starting point of your life. In the middle of the years between the ages of one and eighteen, you listen to the teacher's words and listen to your parents' words. Now you really started your own independent life. We must create some days for ourselves to be touched, and you can touch others. We have rich families here, and there are also poor families. The starting point of our lives is not whether you choose to be born in rich families or poor families. If you are born in a poor family, you can't say that Dad has taken me back. I don't want to be here. Staying. But the end of our lives is chosen by ourselves. All of our classmates have gone very well in the past. They have already reached the front of many Chinese children at the age of 18, because Peking University is the pride of China and can be said to be the pride of the world. However, going to Peking University does not mean that you have done a good job. It does not mean that your future path can go well. What should you do in the next 50 years, 60 years, or even 100 years, become every classmate? The question to think about. As far as I am concerned, I feel that as long as there are two things in my heart, we can achieve our own life.

The first is called ideal. I have a feeling since I was a child, I hope to travel across the horizon to the distance. I call it "the desire to cross the horizon." It is also because of this strong desire that I have the courage to continue the college entrance examination. Of course, there are role models in my life. For example, I have a neighbor, very famous, and it is my lifelong role model. His name is Xu Xiake. Of course, it was a neighbor five hundred years ago. But he is indeed my neighbor, Jiangyin, Jiangsu, and I am also in Jiangyin, Jiangsu. Because of the worship of Xu Xiake, it directly led me to score 97 points in the college entrance examination. It is also Xu Xiake who brought me the feeling of crossing the horizon, so I also made up my mind that if Xu Xiake traveled all over China, I would travel all over the world. And I am now realizing my dream. Therefore, as long as you have ideals and ambitions in your heart, you will eventually succeed. All you have to do is to have the ability to work hard, endure frustration and failure in this process, and constantly expand your mind to be able to do things better.

The second thing is called conscience. What is conscience? It is to do good deeds, to be worthy of being worthy of others, to have a gesture of sharing with others, and to be willing to serve others. Conscience people will manifest themselves from the things you do in your specific life, and what you do must have an impact on your future life. I have two small stories. After I finished speaking, I ended my speech and it took a long time.

The first little story. There is an entrepreneur and I talked about a story of his college. They have a classmate and their family is rich. They bring six apples to school every week. The classmates in the dormitory thought that they were one person. As a result, he was eating one day. Although Apple is his, he can't grab it without giving it to you, but from this classmates left an impression that this child is too selfish. Later, this entrepreneur succeeded, and the classmate who had eaten Apple had not succeeded, and he hoped to join the team of entrepreneurs. But then everyone talked about it and said that he could not be allowed to join. The reason was very simple, because he never showed the spirit of sharing when he was in college. Therefore, for the students, the first point in the college era, you have to share what you have with your classmates, feelings, thoughts, wealth, even an apple can be divided into six petals to eat together. Because you have to know, you can get more in the future, and your efforts will never be paid in vain.
