1. Cherish the time to learn and live up to your time. 300-word diary

Our teenagers are in the golden period of growing knowledge and body.

It is a period of active thinking, strong receptivity, imagination and courage to innovate. If we seize the time, study hard, and study hard at this time, we will achieve brilliant achievements in the future.

On the contrary, if you don't study hard and use your precious time to play, it will be the same as Yue Fei's famous saying: "A young man's head is gray, and his sorrow is empty." Then you will achieve nothing in your career.

In ancient and modern times, people who study diligently at home and abroad have all achieved brilliant achievements. Here are a few examples: Ouyang Xiu, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, lost his father when he was four years old and his family was poor.

He studied hard at a young age, working day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep, and later became a great writer. Marie Curie, the great French physicist and chemist, when she was at the School of Physics at the University of Paris, she went to the library to study at night.

After 10 o'clock, go back to your room and continue studying. "Hard work pays off", and she finally discovered the radioactive element - radium.

Isn’t this also an achievement achieved by cherishing time and learning? When the great revolutionary Lenin was in college, he was expelled for carrying out revolutionary activities. He completed the four-year college course in just one year and won first place in the college entrance examination. There are many, many people like this, such as Xu Beihong, Tong Dizhou, Zhou Enlai... On the other hand, if you don't use your precious time to study, but use it for playing, you can only be like that prodigy Fang Zhongyong, who can hold a pen and write at the age of five. , but because his father did not know how to let Zhongyong study in time, he used Zhongyong to make money.

The result ruined his life. This story tells us: If you don't hesitate to learn, geniuses will become mediocre people.

The British poet Shakespeare once said: "He who gives up time, time will give up on him.".

2. Chinese teaching should return to common sense and experience

Chinese cannot be viewed from the perspective of a "literary". Once "literary appreciation" and "humanistic pursuit" become "absolute" Authority” will also enter high altitudes where the air is thin. The teaching of "pan-Chinese" and "pan-humanities" will return to "blended teaching", leading to a dead end.

To this end, Wei Xing came to the conclusion: Chinese teaching should return to common sense, start from "people" and the function of language, and guide students to correctly understand and use language. This is Chinese teaching Of course, it is also the inevitable way of Chinese teaching.

He said: "Wittgenstein advocated that 'the essence of language lies in the use of language'. From a horizontal perspective in the world, attaching importance to the use of language has become an 'international practice'. For example, in the United States, focusing on 'student needs' What language knowledge to learn and what can be done with language to construct the curriculum. Another example is the European Organization, which clearly states that "Chinese learners are language users." Curriculum standards in various countries have similar discussions on language generation teaching. 'It was put forward under this background

3. What does "Youth fades away quickly, beauty grows old quickly, all the glitz fades away, and the plainness returns to true nature" means.

The beautiful youth time is always so In a hurry, no matter how beautiful the face is, it will soon wither. After passing through the impetuous prosperity and hustle and bustle of the world, you will find that some pursuits and desires are just like dreams, and the life you really need is just plain and calm. .

This is a very classic saying with a very good meaning. It comes from "Collection of Sentences"

Time flies: Youth is short and easy to leave, which means cherish youth<. /p>

Beauty is easy to grow old: Young and beautiful women will eventually grow old, which means cherishing the one you love

Prosperity is gone: all the good years have passed, which means cherishing the young days

Return to the plain and simple: the plain and simple is the most real and original

It means that the beautiful youth time is always so hasty, and no matter how beautiful the face is, it will soon wither. After passing through the impetuous prosperity of the world, With the hustle and bustle, you will find that some pursuits and desires are just like dreams, and the life you really need is just plain and calm.

It means that people have experienced many ups and downs in life. I finally understand the true meaning of life, understand the real life and the true needs of the heart, and no longer get lost in illusions.

The greatest charm of a person is to have a sunny mind. Time passes quickly, and appearance ages quickly. , Glitz and glamor are all clouds. Embracing a sunny mentality, you don't have to worry about gains and losses, and you can come and go as you please. If you have no desires, you won't be hindered by everything.

The first half of the sentence "Youth is fleeting, beauty is beautiful." "Yi Lao" talks about the passing of time in a hurry and fleeting manner. The second half of the sentence means that we have already passed the glory of youth and the age of willfulness and madness. Now we do not seek to be spectacular, but to be ordinary.

4. How to live a life worthy of this life

What is a life worthy of this life? First, live a simple life with true talents and professional knowledge. If you equip yourself, you can apply what you have learned and have a bright future.

But let me remind you: happiness is not necessarily related to money and material abundance. A warm home, simple clothes, and health. Food is where happiness lies.

The endless pursuit of luxury is far less likely to bring you happiness and happiness than a frugal life. Secondly, you can live a noble life.

Our society has many dark sides: injustice, exploitation, fraud, etc. Be extremely dignified and self-reliant, treat others fairly, do not bully the weak, or do anything that harms others or yourself.

A noble life means having no regrets about one's conscience, upholding justice, and relying on morality in everything. Live a noble life in this way and you will gain something.

Third, be able to live a humble life. We must have a humble heart to serve others and never forget to contribute to society, the country and even all mankind.

A humble person is not stubborn but listens to what others have to say with an open mind. A great man does not look up at the top of the mountain all day long. He will also squat down and wash the feet of his brothers.

If you have noble sentiments, live a frugal life, and have a humble heart, then your life will be very fulfilling. You will be someone who loves your family, values ??your friends, and is concerned about your own health.

You will not care about what society can give you, but you will attach great importance to what you can contribute to society. I believe that the value of a university cannot be judged by the salary of its graduates.

It should not be judged by the cars they drive or the houses they live in, but by the impact its students have on society and humanity after graduation. So you graduates will become representatives of our school.

Let’s be a “CUHK man” that makes us proud! In the 21st century, universities around the world are at a crossroads, because in history, colleges and universities have never grown and expanded as fast as they do now, and yet, like now, they have forgotten their purpose and lost their direction. As the number of college students around the world continues to increase, people are also questioning the true meaning of university education as never before.

While in some countries, universities are hailed as locomotives that promote science and technology and economic construction, in other places, universities are denigrated as places that condone elitism and laissez-faire. So what's the point of university education? Cardinal Newman once said: "If university courses must have a practical purpose, I think it is to cultivate good social citizens... This kind of education can give people the truth about their own opinions and judgments, and give people the ability to advocate this The power of perspective and judgment.

It teaches him to treat things objectively, teach him to get straight to the point, teach him to sort out confusing thoughts, and teach him to clarify the complicated and discard the irrelevant. The value and essence of a clear university I believe that the value of a university cannot be judged by the salary of its graduates.

It should not be judged by the cars they drive or the houses they live in, but by the impact its students have on society and humanity after graduation. We also need to be clear about the nature of a university: it is not simply a repository of knowledge, nor a mere promoter of creativity and innovation.

A university is by no means a vocational training school, and it must not be reduced to an institution that cultivates talents who are greedy, selfish, and have no moral or social responsibility at all. Universities cannot be blind followers of league tables, let alone be viewed as engines that drive gross domestic product.

Know your era and lead your era. As you graduate today, I give you the words of Teacher Qian Mu, "Know your era and lead your era." I think there should be the same basic conditions for how you behave, how you conduct your studies, and how you conduct your career. That is, we must first understand our era.

We are born in today's era, and we should be human beings, do knowledge, and do business in today's era. Most people cannot understand the times and can only follow the times and run with them.

This kind of people follow the times and move forward with the times. These are ordinary people. According to Chinese people, it is a kind of popular custom.

Every era should have its own ideal, and a group of people needed by the ideal can study the academics needed by the ideal, do the career needed by the ideal, and lead the society. Only then can the society be successful. progress. Otherwise, if you don’t understand this era and cannot move forward towards this ideal standard, this is just vulgarity.

How can the customs lead this society? Therefore, in every era, there is no need to worry about following the customs of that era, and what the era needs are people, academics, and careers that can lead the era. What kind of era is this? This is an era of rising individualism.

Personal interests take precedence over the well-being of the group, and personal opinions often become the only acceptable opinions. But the sea is open to all rivers, and its tolerance is great.

We should not only care about our own interests or be too self-righteous, but should learn to listen to other people's opinions, consider the opinions of all parties, and work together to realize our dreams. This is an era of information explosion and difficulty in distinguishing right from wrong.

The information circulated on the Internet and released by the media every day brings us a lot of impact. But things are often not as simple as they appear on the surface. Right and wrong often require careful analysis and in-depth understanding.

The purpose of university education is to cultivate independent thinking. After graduation, students need lifelong learning and the ability to think carefully and discern clearly.

This is an era where interests come first and morality comes second. Money, status, and power have become the only things that people in the world pursue, while the cultivation of morals and values ??has gradually been forgotten.

Standing tall against a wall, one can be strong without desire. I hope you will not let your interests cover up your conscience and rely on your kindness to support yourself.

What we pursue should be something more lasting than fame and fortune. I hope that CUHK graduates will lead our era with an open mind, a far-sighted vision, and an inclusive attitude.

I hope that CUHK graduates will abide by morality, do their duty well, and not bury their conscience for personal gain. I hope that CUHK graduates can understand the times, lead the trend, not be vulgar or blindly follow the trend, and be a person who contributes to society.

Know how to be satisfied, know how to be grateful, and contribute more. With a half-glass of water in front of you, the glass you see is half-full, not half-empty. You will learn that nothing in this world can be taken for granted, not your health, your family, your loved ones, or your opportunities.

Everything you have and the achievements you have achieved at this age are beyond the imagination of many people in this world. Know that contentment brings happiness.

If you know how to be grateful, what you are thinking about in your heart will not be the same.
