Best Inspirational Speech of the Year: Spending meaningful life

Yu Minhong

There are a lot of people who have read college now. Some people say that it is not interesting to go to college now because they can't find a job. It is true that until now, the proportion of graduates who have found jobs this year is only about 40%, but I believe this is only a temporary phenomenon, because China's industrial structure has not been adjusted. Historically, there are not many Chinese college students, because China is shifting from manufacturing to consulting, information, logistics, services and other industries that communicate with the world. This means that all college students here have the ability to work. Can find a job.

Once, a college student told me that Teacher Yu wanted to start a business and not go to college. I said why, he said that he would like to learn from Bill Gates. I said that there are a few Bill Gates in the world, not one. He said it doesn't matter, he can be the second one. I said, why don't you go to college? He said that I failed the exam and could not go on. This is still not possible with Bill Gatsby. People feel that their knowledge has far surpassed that of the teacher. I feel that it is a waste of time to go to college. I have to use my creativity in time, so I have to drill into my own. The car library researched Microsoft. These are two completely different concepts.

Of course, I just emphasized that your good academic performance is not necessarily good in the future. There is a statistical data, the top 10 and the last 10 students in the university have done a research. In the 20-year stage, the total amount of wealth and the social status of the last 10 students in the university are actually more than the top 10 Be high. This means that even the most backward students in college don't give up on yourself. For example, I worked hard at Peking University for five years. When I graduated, I graduated from the fifth place in the class, but now the first to fifth places in our class are all in New Oriental. Therefore, we will never give up on ourselves.

Is it true that we will have achievements when we are long? No, because there are two ways to walk in life: the first one goes on the plains, and when it reaches 90, it is very flat, but you can't see the beautiful scenery around. Because the scenery on both sides of the plain is the same. So, when you look back on your life, you find a blank.

Our life must be like the endless mountains, like the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. There are always countless dangerous peaks that need us to conquer in front of us, and once we are on the peak, the infinite scenery of life will be revealed, and the whole world will have a panoramic view. Of course, climbing is not an easy task, you have to pay a lot of price, but the price is worth it. You climb to a hill. If you want to go to another hill, you must start climbing again from the bottom, because no two hills are connected.

The most wonderful life is that when I am old, I can write a memoir. I will be moved by the life I have experienced. I will move others to continue to struggle for the wonderful life. At this time, I can say that my life is very fulfilling.

Many students have a wealthy family. If you want to buy a mobile phone or a computer, your parents will satisfy you. You will feel happy when you get it, but it is easy to lose because it is easy to get. Because it is easy, it will not be cherished. The best thing in life is to cherish what you get. The premise of cherishing must be because you have to come.

I met a particularly touching story 10 years ago: a college student came to me because he was very poor, but wanted to go abroad and wanted to go to the GRE and TOEFL classes in New Oriental, but he didn’t have money, so he told me he wanted to I went to the New Oriental class, but I didn't have the money. Can I work as a classroom administrator in New Oriental part-time in the summer vacation, and arrange for him to go to the TOEFL and GRE classes. After checking the students' attendance certificate, I will listen to the class later. I can of course say that. I did not expect this student to make another request. If the two-month part-time job is really good, can you give him a salary of 500 yuan to buy a tape recorder? I said that there is no problem. As a result, the child had been working for two months. All the people who had contacted him said that the child was working hard, so after two months, I gave him a salary of one thousand yuan for him to buy a tape recorder. After he bought it, he listened to the tape recorder and shed tears. I know that he was moved by his actions, and he must have a big future. After a few years, he was admitted to Yale University with a full scholarship. He is still working in the United States, with an annual salary of $135,000. Therefore, only life that is touched by oneself will be wonderful.

In fact, I also have some stories that I am moved by, such as my college entrance examination. At that time, I thought I had to go to college, but I didn't think about going to Peking University, so I was desperate to study. Sometimes you will find that you are heading down and your goal is going to be behind you. So when I got the admission letter from Peking University, I really laughed and cried, just like Fan Jinzhong. But if I didn't insist on it at the time, maybe I am still only the son of a farmer. For example, at the time, there were individuals in our village who had been tested for the same period of two years as me. His total score was three points higher than me. At that time, I told him to take the third year of examination together, but his mother said that he did not take the test and found a woman to marry. But at the time, I told my mom that you asked me to take another year of study. In the third year, I really got it. So I came to two conclusions. 1. People must run forward. They don't have to run fast, but they have to run for a long time. 2. You can't stop. You can't fish for two days. You have to be persistent.

I have not been lazy for a day today. I still have to work for nearly 16 hours a day, starting from the day of the college entrance examination. But I found that I am still better than some colleagues. From elementary school to high school, I studied very seriously. The results were always between the top 10 and 20, and I studied more seriously at the university, but I ended up with the fifth place in the class. The story of the tortoise and the hare race we know from the country, and life is often reflected. Because people who run fast tend to stop, and those who run slow can't run because they are slow. Just run, and sooner or later you will reach the end you are looking for. Therefore, we should not care about the high and low grades of the university, as long as we continue to pursue it.

Once, a friend asked me who and how long did the horse and camel go? I think it must be a horse. He said that you are wrong. The camel is going farther than the horse, because the horse will stop for a while, and once the camel starts to move, if it does not stop, it will not stop. . Therefore, a smart person's life will not be created more than a stupid person, because stupid people are creating every day, and smart people may create a period of time to stop, even Edison Genius, when I was young, was considered an idiot. Einstein only spoke when he was nine years old. Fortunately, he had a good mother who always thought he was a genius and made him a great scientist. So when my son didn't talk when he was 4 years old, my wife was in a hurry to take him around for medical treatment. I said, don't look, it is normal for 4 years old to not speak. My wife said, why is it normal, I said, not speaking is the incomplete development of language function, does not mean that the mind is not developed. So never use your status quo to judge your future, as long as you insist, you will be able to get what you unexpectedly.

There are many unexpected things in life. For example, I never thought of going to Peking University after three years of college entrance examination, but after the results were announced, I found that I exceeded the admission score of Peking University by 7 points. At that time, we filled in the volunteers after the exam. At the time, I was worried that I was not necessarily admitted. I was admitted to Peking University. Because many people who score higher than me did not dare to fill in Peking University. After that, I entered Peking University. Due to poor grades, I always counted down in the class, but I never gave up studying.

Later, many of my classmates contacted the country. I saw envy and wanted to catch up with them, so I started to contact the country. For four years, I have contacted countless American universities and majors, and no American university has given me a scholarship. Although I received several admission notices, I went to the US Embassy visa and refused to sign each time. Of course, now my visa is not available in Iraq, and almost all other countries have it. The visa that the United States has given me now is a multi-year business visa for 10 years. Because New Oriental is listed in the US, he must allow me to enter the United States anytime, anywhere. So when my childhood friend is still facing the Yellow River, I have traveled all over the world when I have not walked out of our town in this life. Everyone thought that in the era of Xu Xiake and Su Shi without any means of transportation, they could travel through the mountains and rivers and write a lot of words that would move and move us. In the era when our technology flourished, if there is no left in the world. Words and footprints, how do you feel worthy of yourself.

Some students said that Teacher Yu can do this because you have money now. Frankly speaking, I used to do it before I had no money. Because when I was young, my most admired person was Xu Xiake, because he was my fellow and lived next door to my house. Only he lived next door to my house 400 years ago, knowing that the influence of local celebrities on local teenagers is enormous. Once, I sat on the edge of the Yangtze River to watch the sunrise and sunset. I was wondering how Xu Xiake could go so far? So I will also yearn for the same life I can go with him.

It is because of such an example that I will find that the college entrance examination is once or twice, and I am not desperate because I know that the only way to get out of the rural border is to go to college. I want to turn rural hukou into an urban hukou because urban hukou can be used everywhere. Although I am usually peaceful, there is always a desire in my heart. It is called the desire to cross the horizon and go far. It is always unsatisfied to see the horizon in front of me. I always hope to open the horizon and see what the other side is. of.
