On the occasion of New Year's Day, I would like to extend my warmest condolences and sincere wishes to all the faculty and staff who have worked hard and contributed selflessly, and to all the students who have worked hard and are determined to become talents.
Recalling the past, we are full of lofty sentiments; Looking ahead, we are full of confidence.
Standing at a new starting point, every HTC person should show our new image. What is the connotation of the new image? I think it is to cherish life, cherish time, learn to be a man and learn to learn.
Let's talk about the first point, cherish life and learn to be a man.
At the arrival of the new year, we can't forget the 6,543,800+5,000 innocent lives lost in the Indian Ocean tsunami not long ago. This 40-year-old disaster shocked everyone in the world: life is so fragile, and it also inspired people to ask: how should we cherish life? Yes, man is the soul of all things. Only by cherishing life, caring for human beings and putting people first can we cherish everything around us and fundamentally know how to be a man.
When it comes to "being a man", Mr. Tao Xingzhi, a people's educator, has a famous saying: "Teach thousands of things, teach people to seek truth, learn thousands of things, and learn to be a man." Yang, a famous physicist in China, an academician of China Academy of Sciences and now the president of Nottingham University, a famous British university, expressed his views on "being a man" when interviewed by reporters. "First, you should know what you are doing in this world. This is the outlook on life. If you know what you live for, you know what you are doing. Second, we should love our motherland and keep the concept of the motherland in mind very strongly. If we don't love our motherland, our spirit has no foundation. Third, be able to bear hardships and stand hard work, even if the material living conditions are good. People who don't work hard don't achieve much. Fourth, you should be compatible with others and know how to get along with others.
Therefore, students, first, be an ideal and ambitious person. Second, love the motherland. Loving the motherland should be concrete, not empty. Students love learning, teachers, schools, parents and their hometown, which means they love their motherland. Third, work hard. Now they can't suffer and become talents. Nothing will happen in the future. Only through hard work can we become great men now and great men in the future. Fourth, to be compatible with others, we must be strict with ourselves and be lenient with others. Tolerance of others is a virtue, a cultivation and a wisdom.
Second, cherish time and learn to learn.
Why should we cherish time? Franklin famously said, "Do you love life? Please don't waste time, because time is the substance of life. " The attitude towards time can verify a person's world outlook.
2 1 century is the era of knowledge economy, and we must have a learning revolution, that is, active learning, happy learning and lifelong learning. In the era of knowledge economy, learning and work are multi-directional. Learning is no longer a preparation for work, but is carried out at the same time with work. Learning is no longer a phased thing, but a lifelong thing with people. Learning at work and working in learning can truly be "never tired of learning". Confucius said, "Learn from time to time; learning without thinking is useless; thinking without learning is dangerous." "If you are thirsty for knowledge, you are not ashamed to ask." "Those who know are not as good as those who are good, and those who are good are not as good as those who are happy." Among them, learning happily is the highest realm of learning, and people who know how to learn are not as good as those who love learning. Are people who are willing to learn. There is no end to learning and no end to books. The final exam is approaching. I sincerely hope that every student should not only be a diligent and studious person, but also be a person who enjoys learning. Only in this way can we learn actively and for life. Only in this way can we learn something and get what we want.
Teachers and students! Let's stand at a new starting point in 2009, take firm steps and extend a strong arm. Qi Xin will work together to keep pace with the times and strive for a better tomorrow! Thank you!
