Graduates, for many of you this is probably the last graduation ceremony you attend in your lifetime. But learning and personal growth do not end with graduation. Beyond this campus into the vast world out there, I hope you will keep alive the curiosity for the unkown and the readiness to be taught. Today you may graduate as a first-rate scholar, or an emerging entrepreneur, or a talented young professional, however, regardless of your path, remain teachable and open to learning.
This leads to the first point of my speech today: balance brilliance with humility. As a university president, I’ve often been asked: what qualities distinguish young people who are more likely to succeed? Among the many important qualities such as being smart, hard-working, creative, I emphasize humility. Graduates, as you enter your new path, I trust that your commitment to excellence will continue to drive you towards high standards and in the long run distinguish you in whatever you do. This is absolutely great. But I want you to approach the future with the mindset that there is always someone more knowledgeable, and probably more capable in your presence. It is natural for young people to be high-spirited, and sometimes not unduly proud of your talent and ambition. Indeed, it is human nature to be bound by our own experiences, often seeing only what our cognitive capacities allow us to see. You might be the brightest star in your circle, but you must remember that how you perceive yourself is determined by your cognitive capacities as well as limitations. What you perceive to be an extraordinary discovery or an exceptional deed may be a commonplace aspect of the world’s workings in the eyes of those on a higher cognitive level. Recognizing this opens up space for humility and continuous learning. We are living in a world that celebrates brilliance and personal achievement. However, brilliance only finds lasting strength when it is anchored in humility.
同(tong)學們,在(zai)這(zhe)里我想給(gei)你們講一(yi)個小(xiao)(xiao)故(gu)事(shi),這(zhe)個故(gu)事(shi)來(lai)自契(qi)訶夫的小(xiao)(xiao)說《對賭》。有一(yi)位(wei)銀行家與(yu)一(yi)位(wei)年輕的律師在(zai)一(yi)個派對上(shang)相(xiang)遇,為了“無期徒刑(xing)與(yu)死(si)刑(xing)哪一(yi)個更人(ren)道一(yi)些”展(zhan)開了激烈的爭辯(bian),互相(xiang)不(bu)服,最后兩(liang)人(ren)打(da)賭,如果律師能夠在(zai)一(yi)間房子里獨(du)居15年,不(bu)能出(chu)門,不(bu)能見(jian)人(ren),不(bu)能同(tong)任何人(ren)說話,如果能這(zhe)樣生活15年,那么這(zhe)位(wei)銀行家將給(gei)律師200萬盧布。
于是,這(zhe)位律師在(zai)(zai)銀行家花園后(hou)的一(yi)(yi)個小屋(wu)里(li)住下了,在(zai)(zai)第一(yi)(yi)年(nian)里(li),他(ta)讀(du)(du)了一(yi)(yi)些消遣(qian)的書(shu),有愛(ai)情故事(shi)、偵探(tan)故事(shi)等(deng)等(deng),后(hou)來(lai)(lai)讀(du)(du)了很多(duo)古典作品(pin),包括科(ke)學、哲學著作等(deng)等(deng),就這(zhe)么開始了長達(da)15年(nian)的閱讀(du)(du)生(sheng)活,讀(du)(du)到后(hou)來(lai)(lai)他(ta)一(yi)(yi)年(nian)能讀(du)(du)600多(duo)本(ben)書(shu),但(dan)再后(hou)來(lai)(lai),他(ta)讀(du)(du)的書(shu)變得(de)越(yue)來(lai)(lai)越(yue)少,最后(hou)他(ta)只讀(du)(du)一(yi)(yi)本(ben)書(shu)。
再說這位銀(yin)行家,他(ta)(ta)(ta)的生意一(yi)(yi)落千丈,15年快到之前,他(ta)(ta)(ta)想如果他(ta)(ta)(ta)把200萬盧布都輸(shu)給這位律(lv)(lv)師的話,他(ta)(ta)(ta)可能就會(hui)破(po)產(chan),成為一(yi)(yi)名乞丐。銀(yin)行家非常(chang)后悔(hui),內心極度不平,因此他(ta)(ta)(ta)在(zai)最后一(yi)(yi)個晚(wan)上(shang)想要溜進律(lv)(lv)師的小(xiao)(xiao)(xiao)屋(wu)里去殺死他(ta)(ta)(ta)。那(nei)個晚(wan)上(shang)律(lv)(lv)師似乎睡(shui)著了,但銀(yin)行家在(zai)他(ta)(ta)(ta)的桌子上(shang)發(fa)現了一(yi)(yi)張紙(zhi),律(lv)(lv)師在(zai)紙(zhi)上(shang)寫著,這15年的閱(yue)讀讓他(ta)(ta)(ta)看(kan)破(po)了這世界(jie)的一(yi)(yi)切(qie),他(ta)(ta)(ta)非常(chang)蔑視(shi)這世俗的一(yi)(yi)切(qie),他(ta)(ta)(ta)會(hui)在(zai)明(ming)天中午12點前,也就是(shi)約定的15年期限到來(lai)之前離開小(xiao)(xiao)(xiao)屋(wu),自認輸(shu)掉對賭,放(fang)棄那(nei)200萬盧布。銀(yin)行家讀后滿眼淚水(shui),第二天清(qing)晨,律(lv)(lv)師果然離開了小(xiao)(xiao)(xiao)屋(wu)。
同學們(men),這(zhe)個(ge)故事可以(yi)有很多種理(li)解,你(ni)們(men)也可以(yi)自(zi)(zi)己去(qu)想(xiang)想(xiang)這(zhe)個(ge)故事的(de)(de)涵義。我的(de)(de)理(li)解有三(san)點:第(di)一(yi),人生很奇(qi)妙(miao),磨難是個(ge)寶。人生是一(yi)條(tiao)山路(lu)(lu)(lu),一(yi)條(tiao)艱難、崎嶇、寂(ji)寞(mo)的(de)(de)山路(lu)(lu)(lu)。這(zhe)條(tiao)山路(lu)(lu)(lu)是要靠自(zi)(zi)己去(qu)走的(de)(de),山路(lu)(lu)(lu)上(shang)的(de)(de)磨練(lian)就是思(si)想(xiang)升華的(de)(de)過程,山路(lu)(lu)(lu)愈(yu)往上(shang)走愈(yu)開(kai)闊,你(ni)的(de)(de)思(si)想(xiang)愈(yu)升華,一(yi)個(ge)人真正的(de)(de)成熟(shu)是發現你(ni)可以(yi)責怪的(de)(de)人愈(yu)來愈(yu)少,發現你(ni)自(zi)(zi)己變得愈(yu)來愈(yu)超脫。
第二,人(ren)生在(zai)不同(tong)階段,追(zhui)求(qiu)是(shi)不一(yi)樣的。從追(zhui)求(qiu)高考(kao)成(cheng)績、男女朋(peng)友、GPA到(dao)事(shi)業成(cheng)功、富(fu)貴名利,所有(you)的追(zhui)求(qiu)不過(guo)是(shi)追(zhui)求(qiu)幸(xing)福(fu),而(er)幸(xing)福(fu)最主要(yao)的基礎是(shi)安寧和滿足。所以(yi),人(ren)到(dao)最后更多的是(shi)精神(shen)層面的追(zhui)求(qiu),而(er)非物質上的。要(yao)意識到(dao)今(jin)天我(wo)(wo)們(men)所追(zhui)求(qiu)得死(si)去活來的東(dong)西,明天可(ke)能都會覺得沒那么(me)重(zhong)要(yao)。虛榮(rong)是(shi)人(ren)的弱點(dian),因(yin)此我(wo)(wo)們(men)要(yao)學(xue)會放下。我(wo)(wo)對一(yi)位信佛的家長說:我(wo)(wo)們(men)要(yao)放過(guo)孩子,我(wo)(wo)們(men)要(yao)放過(guo)自己,我(wo)(wo)們(men)自己也是(shi)“眾(zhong)生”。
第三,人生是(shi)變(bian)化的(de),15年后(hou)的(de)你(ni)(ni)不(bu)(bu)是(shi)現在(zai)(zai)(zai)的(de)你(ni)(ni),也不(bu)(bu)是(shi)現在(zai)(zai)(zai)你(ni)(ni)想要(yao)(yao)成為(wei)(wei)的(de)那個你(ni)(ni),而是(shi)經(jing)過15年的(de)滄桑(sang)磨練后(hou)你(ni)(ni)不(bu)(bu)得不(bu)(bu)成為(wei)(wei)的(de)你(ni)(ni)。你(ni)(ni)到底會(hui)成為(wei)(wei)怎樣(yang)的(de)你(ni)(ni),主要(yao)(yao)看你(ni)(ni)在(zai)(zai)(zai)這(zhe)(zhe)個過程中學(xue)會(hui)了些什(shen)么,思考了什(shen)么。因此(ci),同學(xue)們(men)(men),你(ni)(ni)們(men)(men)今天在(zai)(zai)(zai)學(xue)校的(de)學(xue)習是(shi)完成了,但永遠記住(zhu)(zhu)不(bu)(bu)要(yao)(yao)停止學(xue)習,不(bu)(bu)要(yao)(yao)停止思考,不(bu)(bu)要(yao)(yao)低估(gu)自己未來的(de)可能(neng)性。十年前,我(wo)在(zai)(zai)(zai)那個由廢棄廠房改建的(de)圖書館里,掛了一(yi)幅字,上面是(shi)這(zhe)(zhe)樣(yang)寫的(de):“在(zai)(zai)(zai)我(wo)們(men)(men)前進的(de)歷史(shi)戰車中,我(wo)們(men)(men)并非是(shi)一(yi)只(zhi)微(wei)不(bu)(bu)足道(dao)的(de)輪(lun)子,只(zhi)要(yao)(yao)我(wo)們(men)(men)把(ba)握(wo)住(zhu)(zhu)自己的(de)舵,我(wo)們(men)(men)就是(shi)在(zai)(zai)(zai)參(can)與這(zhe)(zhe)個時代的(de)創世。”
所以,同學們,我的建議是:堅毅一點,超脫一點,往前走,慢慢走,不要停!同學們(men),我祝福(fu)你們(men)!
