俞敏洪励志演讲稿（Yu Minhong inspirational speech）Yu Minhong inspirational speechFellow students and leaders:Good morning, everyone! (applause)I am very glad that President Xu has given me such a high honor to talk about my experience at Beijing university. (applause)It can be said that Beijing University is a place that changed my whole life. It was a place for me to improve myself and make me go from a rural child to the world at last. It is no exaggeration to say that without Peking University, there would be no me today. Peking University left me a series of good memories, probably leaving a series of pain. It is between the good and the bad, in the middle of setbacks, struggles and progress, that you finally find yourself and begin to do something for yourself, for your family, for your society.Student life is very wonderful, there are many good memories.I remember there was a boy in our class who dropped the violin every day in the dormitory of the girls. (laughter) he wanted to attract the attention of the girls, and then the girls threw the water bottles. I still remember myself in order to attract the attention of girls, every winter vacation and summer vacation to help girls carry bags. (laughter, applause) and later I found out that the girl had a boyfriend. (laughter) I asked her why she wanted me to carry the bag, she said, in order to let her boyfriend take a break (laughter, applause). I remember when he first entered university I do not speakMandarin, when the class first class meeting each other, I stood up and introduced himself, the results of our monitor stood up and said to me: "Yu Minhong, you can not speak Japanese?" (laughter) I spent a whole year holding the radio and imitating the broadcast of the broadcasting station in the woods of Peking University. But I still can't speak Putonghua well today.Man's progress may be a lifelong thing. At Peking University is the beginning, not the end, of our lives. There are a lot of things that are very moving. For example, we were very fortunate to have met Professor Zhu Guangqian. In his last days, the students of our class took turns in wheelchairs and walked with him in Peking University every day. (applause) every time I wheeled a wheelchair, I was filled with admiration for Professor Zhu Guangqian, a sense of holiness. So, the most important area I read in college is aesthetics. Because he wrote a history of western aesthetics, the second book I read after I entered college.Why second? Because this is the first, I entered the dormitory after the Beijing University, I have a student in the dormitory. The students lying on the bed to read a book called "the fall of the Third Reich". So I asked him a word, and I said, "do you still want to read this kind of book at university?"" He took the book out of his eyes, looked at me, ignored me, and went on with his book. This eye remained in my heart. I know that entering Beijing University is not only to study majors, but also to read a great deal of books. You will be able to qualify yourself as a student at Peking university. (applause) so I read the first book in the north "is the rise and fall of the Third Reich", and read three times. Later I went to this school, Isaid: "let's talk" rise and fall of the Third Reich ", he said:"I have forgotten." (laughter)I also remember my tutor, Professor Li Funing, who was the head of the English Department of Peking University. When he gave us the fourth edition of new concept English, he wrote the blackboard on a blackboard every time. It was very complete and very beautiful. Always write from the top left corner of the blackboard. When the bell rings, it just writes to the bottom right corner. (applause) I remember my professor of English literature, Professor Luo Jingguo, who failed my exams in the last year at Peking University because of a bad mood. I found Professor Luo and said, "if I fail this course, I can't finish it."." Professor Luo said, "I can give you a passing grade, but please remember, you must make a worthwhile contribution in the future."." (applause.) therefore, the tolerance, knowledge, boldness and freedom of Peking University teacher can really make us a student of Beijing university,Really get the spirit of Peking university. When I heard that President Xu Zhihong sang "invisible wings" to students, I opened the video and was moved to tears. Because I think the president of Beijing University should be like this. (applause)I remember I had a lot of depression when I was in Beijing university. First, Mandarin is not good, second English level is a mess. Although my college entrance examination after three years of efforts to test to the North -- because I failed two times, the last time was accidentally entered the north. I never thought that Beijing University was the place where I could go to school. She was a sacred place in my heart. I felt I couldnever reach it. But that year, third years of examination, my college entrance examination scores than the Peking University admission score of seven points, I finally determined to gnash the teeth "Peking University" four words. I know a lot of people will score higher than me. I don't think I will be accepted. Unexpectedly, Beijing University Admissions teacher is very rich eyes, I expected thirty years later today. (applause) but in fact, my English is poor. I can neither hear nor speak in the countryside. I can only recite grammar and words. When our class was divided into classes, fifty students were divided into three classes. Because my English test scores were good, I was assigned to the A class. But a month later, I was transferred to class C. Class C is called "pronunciation, intonation and hearing barrier"". (laughter)I also remember that before I entered Beijing University, I didn't even read "the dream of Red Mansions", so I saw one of my classmates reading a book, and I was chasing like mad. The results of my university almost read more than 800 books, for a period of five years (applause). But I still haven't caught up with my classmates. I remember my monitor Wang Qiang is a Book addiction, and now he is in New Oriental, is the dean of the New Oriental Institute of education. Every time he boughta book, I followed him, when Peking University gave us more than20 yuan per month for living expenses, Wang Qiang has a hobby, that is, the cost of living in two, half used to buy books, half used to buy food tickets. Never spend money on books to buy tickets. If he doesn't have a meal ticket, he can borrow it everywhere and steal it everywhere he can't borrow it. (laughter) I found him a good habit, I also put my living expenses for a two, half to buy books, half to buy a meal ticket,ticket after I stole his. (laughter, applause)It is no exaggeration to say that our classmates were in Beijing University, which is one of the most reading classes. And our class was very active, and there were several poets. Later the famous a poet named Xichuan, real name Liu Jun, is in our class. (applause) I remember our class on the other, it was a good group of Beijing University, but one night you have fun, the dance veneer dance for second weeks, was criticized by the Ministry of education informed. The dance must jump very formal, and slightly closer to that violate discipline. So you're happier now than we were. Not only can dance, but also hand in hand in the campus walk, if we were male and female novices in hand in the campus walk, will be thrown to the side of the lake, it is generally after twelve in the evening on the campus walk. (laughter, applause)I also remember fifty students in our class, just twenty-five boys and twenty-five girls. When I heard this ratio, I was very excited at the time. (laughter) I think everyone should be a match. Didn't think girls are those who looked handsome, casual and elegant bearing boys. Girls like me don't have a lot of looks and are full of feelings and have great potential for development in the future. Girls generally don't see it. (laughter, applause)I remember I was fighting for two years to catch up with my classmates in the result, but just like LV Zhi teacher said, although you in the school entrance exam may very well, is the first, but the elite talent too much, around you may be very intelligent students,Is also the number one in each province, or second. So, in the north after the students is a very difficult process, although I almost every day to learn more than the other students in one or two hours, but when it came to the end of the second grade college my grades still ranked in the class last. Very diligent and very depressed, and no girl to love me, comfort me. (laughter) the result was that I had a serious illness when I was in my third year of college. It was called infection, sexually transmitted pneumonia, tuberculosis. Then I fainted, because I was reading a dream of Red Mansions "at that time, just read the Lin Daiyu because of pulmonary tuberculosis hematemesis died in the chapter, (laughter) I thought my life ended, then the Peking University Hospital doctors tell me now this disease can be cured, but need to stay in hospital for a year. I was in the hospital for a year, depressed for a year, read a lot of books, also wrote more than 600 poems, but never published a poem. Since then, I have made a living with poetry, but I am rich in emotion, but I do not have a beautiful style of writing, so I have not become a poet at last. Later, I felt very lucky, because I found that the poet who really became a poet later had an accident. We wrote poems together with Hai Hai, a less famous poet. Later, he wrote a beautiful poem called "facing the sea, with spring flowers", and each of us could probably recite it. Later, when I heard that he threw Dutch act, crying all day. From then on, I put down my pen and stopped writing poetry. (applause)I remember when I was in Beijing University, when I graduated from the fourth year of college, my grades were still at the end of the class. But at that time I had a good mentality. Iknow I'm smarter than my classmates, but I have the ability to keep on trying. So, in my class graduation ceremony, I said such a paragraph, and now, my classmates can remember, I said: "everyone has achieved excellent results, I am our class behind classmates.". But I want to reassure my students that I will never give up. I'll do five years for you, ten years for you, twenty years for me, twenty years for you, ten years for me, forty years for me". (applause) I said to them, "if it doesn't work, I'll be happy and fit, and I'll walk you off when I'm eighty."." (laughter, applause)One story says that only two animals can be reached at the top of Pyramid. One is an eagle, flying on his own talent and wings. We have a lot of Eagle characters here, and many students learn to reach the peak without having to work too hard. Many students may later easily graduate from Beijing University, after entering Harvard, Yale, Oxford, Cambridge and other famous universities to further their studies. There are many students who are full of talent, do not need to learn to have such ability, for example I mentioned my monitor Wang Qiang, his ability to imitate is superior, to any place, listening to a word, never listen to it again out of the two kind of imitation. So he worked as a broadcaster at Peking radio station for four years. I listen to his voice every day, my mind is full of hatred. (laughter) so a gifted man is like an eagle. But as we all know, there is another kind of animal, which is at the top of Pyramid. That's the snail. The snail must have climbed. It may take one month, two months, or even a year or two to climb from low to top. At the top of Pyramid, people do find traces of snails.I believe that the snail will never climb up smoothly. It will fall, climb, fall and climb again. But what the students needto know is that the snail, as long as he climbs to the top of Pyramid, sees the world in his eyes, and his achievements are the same as those of the eagle. (applause) so maybe we have some Eagles here, some snails. When I was in Beijing University, including today, I always thought I was a snail.But I've been climbing, maybe I haven't climbed to the top of Pyramid yet. But as long as you are climbing, it is enough to leave a day for you to move your life. (applause)I often say to my classmates, if our life doesn't leave some tears for ourselves, your life will be white. Many of our classmates have entered the Peking University with excellent results, but Peking University is not the end of your study, but the starting point of your life. Between the age of one and eighteen, you listen to your teacher and listen to your parents, and now you really start your own independent life. We must create some moving days for ourselves, so that you can move others. Here we have a rich family, also have impoverished family, our life is not for you to choose the starting point was born in a rich family or poor families, if you were born in poor families, you can't say dad give me back, I don't want to stay here. But the end of our lives is our choice. All of us present here have gone very well. They have come to the front of many Chinese children at the age of eighteen, because Beijing University is the pride of China, and also the pride of the world. However, to the North doesn't mean you ever be accomplished, does not mean that you can take the road to the future, the next fifty years, sixty years or even one hundred years, how do you go, as every student to think about. As far as I am concerned, I feel that as long as there are two things in mind, we canachieve our own life.The first is called ideal. I grew up with a feeling of wishing to cross the horizon and into the distance. I called it "the desire to cross the horizon."". It is because of this strong desire that I have the courage to continue the college entrance examination. Of course, there are examples in my life. For example, I have a neighbor, very famous, is my life model, his name is Xu Xiake. Of course, it was a neighbor five hundred years ago. But he's really my neighbor, Jiangsu, Jiangyin, and I'm from Jiangsu, Jiangyin. Because worship Xu Xiake, directly lead me in the college entrance examination when the geographical examination scores ninety-seven points. (applause.) it was Xu Xiake who brought me the feeling of crossing the horizon, so I made up my mind that if Xu Xiake had traveled all over China, I would have traveled all over the world. And I am now realizing my dream. So, as long as you have ideals and ambitions in your mind, you will succeed eventually. All you have to do is to have the ability to work hard, endure setbacks and fail in this process, and constantly expand your mind so that you can do things better.Second things call conscience. What is conscience? To do good, to be worthy of yourself, to be worthy of others, to share with others, to have the spirit of service to others. A conscientious person will manifest what you have done in the middle of your life, and what you do will certainly have an impact on your life in the future. I'll finish my speech with two little stories, which have taken up a long time.The first little story. An entrepreneur told me about a storyhe had in college. His class had a classmate whose family was rich and brought six apples to school every week. The students in the dorm thought it was a one man, and as a result, he ate one every day. Although apple is his, do not give you can not grab, but from the students left an impression that this child is too selfish. Later, the entrepreneur did something successful, and the student who ate apple didn't succeed and wanted to join the team of entrepreneurs. But later, when we talked about it, we said we couldn't let him join us. The reason was simple, because he never showed the spirit of sharing when he was in college. So, for students, the first thing in college is that you have to share what you have, feelings, ideas, and wealth with your classmates,Even an apple can be split into six pieces for everyone to eat together. (applause) because you know, in doing so, you can get more in the future, and your efforts will never be paid in vain.I'll tell you my story again. When I was a student at Beijing University, I always had the spirit to serve my classmates. My this person's result has been not very good, but I loved the work since childhood, I hoped that causes the teacher and the schoolmate's attention through the industrious work, therefore I clean the classroom hygiene from the primary school first grade. When I got to Beijing University, I got into a good habit of cleaning the dormitory every day. I cleaned it for four years. So our dormitory never rows sanitary duty watch. In addition, I take water from my dorm every day to fetch water for my classmates and take it as a form of physical exercise. Everyone saw I was getting used to water, and at last it happened. Sometimes, when I forgot to fetch water, my classmate said, "whydoesn't Yu Minhong fetch the water?"". (laughter). But I don't think it's a bad thing to draw water. Since everyone is a classmate, it is taken for granted that they help each other. The students must have thought I had done it. Ten years later, when the end of the 95 year of the New Oriental achieve a certain scale, I hope to find partners, the results went to the United States and Canada to find my classmates, they are an example of my life when I was in college, including just talked about the teacher Wang Qiang. I tried to lure them back and brought in a bunch of dollars, spending money very generously in the States every day, trying to make sure they knew how to make money in china. I think it'll probably get them back. Later, they came back, but gave me a very unexpected reason. They said, "Yu Minhong, we're going back to you and we've been playing for four years."." (applause) they said: "we know you have such a spirit, so you have to eat, certainly not give us porridge to drink, so let's go back to China, do the New Oriental together."." Only the New Oriental today. (applause)Man's life is a struggle for life, but some people live a great life, and some people live a very trivial life. If we have a great dream and have a kind heart, we can pile up a lot of little things and become a great life. But if your ordinary every day, there is no ideal, then stop the progress, then the next day your life will never be piled up a bunch of little. So, I hope all the students can make their everyday life into a great life. (applause)Finally, I represent all the old alumni to present more than three thousand students form a mind, I represent all the old and New Oriental two million yuan donated to the alumnipresident Xu, provide a little help for the students here, learning activities and growth. (applause)。
