畢業(yè)典禮英語演講稿1
At other places, but I’m happy to say not yet at Purdue, students have demanded to be kept, quote, "safe" from speech, that is, mere words, that challenge or discomfit them. At one large university, one, quote, "study", I enclose it in quotes, purported to find a quarter of the student body suffering from PTSD because of an election outcome. Referring to such young people, someone has coined the distasteful but descriptive term "snowflakes."
Some find a cause in the social media, which have reduced personal interaction among your younger contemporaries. Easier grading in high schools can lead to an unexpected jolt when a student arrives at college, at least if it’s a place like Purdue where top grades are still hard to come by. Another diagnosis points to overprotective parenting that limits some children’s opportunities to play and explore in unsupervised ways that require them to solve problems and resolve conflicts on their own.

They wanted Stanford’s faculty, students, and staff to pursue knowledge and excellence not just as ends in themselves, but for the sake of humanity and the world.
I’ve often wondered what motivated the Stanfords to place this greater purpose at the heart of our university.
I think I got a clue recently, when, in January, I visited the Stanford Family Collection at the Cantor Arts Center.
Jane and Leland Stanford were some of the most influential citizens of California in the late 19th century, and the Cantor holds a number of artifacts relating to their lives. The collection also includes some childhood journals that belonged to their son, Leland Stanford Jr.
Reading these journals was, to me, a revelation. They are a record of Leland Junior’s childhood studies and interests: from arithmetic practice to sketches and photography.
But what truly leaps from the pages is Leland Junior’s extraordinary curiosity.
He was learning and absorbing everything he could about the world. Though he was just in his early teens, he had ambitions in anthropology and history and art. And he was fascinated by other cultures.
He spent his time studying and reflecting on contemporary and historical objects – from fossils to armor, to buildings and monuments, to the ruins of ancient temples.

It is not death most people are afraid is getting to the end of life, only to realize that you never truly e was a study done, a hospital study on 100 elderly people facing death close to their last breath. They were asked to reflect about their life’s biggest regret. Nearly all of them said they regretted not the things they did but the things they didn't risks they never took the dreams they didn’t pursue.I ask you would your last words be; if only I had – hey, you wake do you exist? Life is not meant to simply work, wait for the weekend and pay rent. No, no I don’t know much. But I know this: every person on this earth has a g I apologized to the black community but I can no longer pretend Martin Luther King. That man never had a dream, that dream had him. See people don't choose dreams, dreams choose them. So the question I’m getting to is, do you have the courage to grab the dream that picked you? That befit you and grips you; or will you let it get away and slip through?

Let me conclude with this. I’m not going to moralize about to whom much is given, much is expected, because most of you have made of yourself much more than what you’ve been given. But now you are in a privileged position. You’re part of an exceptional generation and doors will open to you that will not open to others. My Yale Law School grad son graduated very well from Yale Law School. My other son out of loyalty to his deceased mother decided to go to Syracuse Law School from Penn. They're a year and a day apart in their age. The one who graduated from Yale had doors open to him, the lowest salary offered back in the early ‘90s was $50,000 more than a federal judge made. My other son, it was a struggle -- equally as bright, went on to be elected one of the youngest attorney generals in the history of the state of Delaware, the most popular public official in my state. Big headline after the 20xx election, “Biden Most Popular Man in Delaware -- Beau.”
And as your parents will understand, my dad’s definition of success is when you look at your son and daughter and realize they turned out better than you, and they did. But you’ll have opportunities. Make the most of them and follow your heart. You have the intellectual horsepower to make things better in the world around you.
You’re also part of the most tolerant generation in history. I got roundly criticized because I could not remain quiet anymore about gay marriage. The one thing I was certain of is all of your generation was way beyond that point.

Today, I speak from this podium a final time as your president. As I depart, I want to thank all of you - students, faculty, alumni and staff - with whom I have been privileged to work over these past years. Some of us have had our disagreements, but I know that which unites us transcends that which divides us. I leave with a full heart, grateful for the opportunity I have had to lead this remarkable institution.
今天，我將以校長的身份，最后一次在這個講臺上演講。即將離任前，我要感謝諸位學(xué)生、教師、校友和員工，而且非常榮幸在過去的5年里能與你們共事。我們中的一些人意見不盡相同， 但是，我知道，我們的共識遠遠超越分歧。我心滿意足的離開哈佛，感激你們給我機會領(lǐng)導(dǎo)這所杰出的學(xué)府。
Since I delivered my inaugural address, 56 months ago, I have learned an enormous amount—about higher education, about leadership, and also about myself. Some things look different to me than they did five years ago. The world that today’s Harvard’s graduates are entering is a profoundly different one than the world administrators entered.
自從56個月前我發(fā)表上任講話以來，我學(xué)到了很多——關(guān)于高等教育，關(guān)于領(lǐng)導(dǎo)藝術(shù)，也關(guān)于自我完善。在我看來，現(xiàn)在與5年前不同了。今天的哈佛畢業(yè)生正在進入的世界和管理人員當(dāng)年所進入的世界相比已是大相徑庭了。
It is a world where opportunities have never been greater for those who know how to teach children to read, or those who know how to distribute financial risk; never greater for those who understand the cell and the pixel; never greater for those who can master, and navigate between, legal codes, faith traditions, computer platforms, political viewpoints.
現(xiàn)今世界，機遇對于這些人來說是空前的：他們知道如何教子女閱讀;他們知道如何組合投資;他們懂得基本存儲單元和像素概念;他們能掌握各種法典、傳統(tǒng)信仰、計算機平臺、政治觀點并在其中游刃有余。
It is also a world where some are left further and further behind - those who are not educated, those trapped in poverty and violence, those for whom equal opportunity is just a hollow phrase.
同時，現(xiàn)今世界，一些人越來越落后于時代。這些人沒受過教育、深陷于貧窮和暴力、平等機遇對他們而言，僅是一句空話。
Scientific and technological advances are enabling us to comprehend the furthest reaches of the cosmos, the most basic constituents of matter, and the miracle of life.
科技進步正在使我們能夠探索宇宙的邊陲、物質(zhì)最基本的成分及生命的奇跡。
At the same time, today, the actions, and inaction, of human beings imperil not only life on the planet, but the very life of the planet.
與此同時，今天，人類所做的及沒能做到的事情，不僅危害到這個星球上的生命，也危害到該星球的壽命。
Globalization is making the world smaller, faster and richer. Still, 9/11, avian flu, and Iran remind us that a smaller, faster world is not necessarily a safer world.
全球化正在使地球變得愈來愈小、愈來愈快和愈來愈富有。盡管如此，9/11、禽流感及伊朗提醒我們，更小更快的世界決不意味著其更安全。
Our world is bursting with knowledge - but desperately in need of wisdom. Now, when sound bites are getting shorter, when instant messages crowd out essays, and when individual lives grow more frenzied, college graduates capable of deep reflection are what our world needs.
我們正處于一個知識爆炸的世界之中，不過，迫切需要智慧。現(xiàn)在，在原聲摘要播出變得愈來愈短，即時信息淘汰了雜記文，個人生活變得如癡如狂之際，這個世界還是需要能夠深思的大學(xué)生。
For all these reasons I believed - and I believe even more strongly today - in the unique and irreplaceable mission of universities.
考慮到這些理由，我過去信仰，而今天甚至更加強烈地信仰大學(xué)獨特的、無可取代的`使命。
Universities are where the wisdom we cannot afford to lose is preserved from generation to generation. Among all human institutions, universities can look beyond present norms to future possibilities, can look through current considerations to emergent opportunities.
大學(xué)是人類把不可或缺的智慧世代流傳的殿堂。就人類所有公共機構(gòu)而言，僅僅大學(xué)，能夠超越當(dāng)前的準(zhǔn)則，注意到未來的可能性;能通過目前的判斷，注意到突發(fā)的機遇。
And among universities, Harvard stands out. With its great tradition, its iconic reputation, its remarkable network of 300,000 alumni, Harvard has never had as much potential as it does now.
哈佛在大學(xué)中間，鶴立雞群。憑其偉大的傳統(tǒng)、因襲聲譽及其非凡的300000校友網(wǎng)，哈佛的潛力前所未有。
And yet, great and proud institutions, like great and proud nations at their peak, must surmount a very real risk: that the very strength of their traditions will lead to caution, to an inward focus on prerogative and to a complacency that lets the world pass them by.
可是，就像偉大和自豪的國家在其鼎盛時期一樣，它們必須克服一個完全不能掉以輕心的危險因素：它們傳統(tǒng)的絕對強勢將會導(dǎo)致謹小慎微、追求內(nèi)部特權(quán)及自滿，這將使它們不能與時俱進。
And so I say to you that our University today is at an inflection point in its history. At such a moment, there is temptation to elevate comfort and consensus over progress and clear direction, but this would be a mistake. The University’s matchless resources - human, physical, financial - demand that we seize this moment with vision and boldness. To do otherwise would be a lost opportunity. We can spur great deeds that history will mark decades and even centuries from now. If Harvard can find the courage to change itself, it can change the world.
今天，哈佛正處于其歷史的轉(zhuǎn)折點。此時此刻的自然傾向是，把貪圖舒適和隨波逐流留凌駕于進步和方向性之上，但，這可能是錯誤的。大學(xué)無與倫比的資源 ——人力、物力、財力——要求我們遠見卓識和勇敢地抓住這個時機，否則，將會坐失良機。我們能推動將會被歷史永世銘記的偉大的事業(yè)。如果哈佛能找到勇氣來改變自己，它就能改變世界。

Last December, we said goodbye to a great man. A great man, but a typical Boilermaker. In his 94 years, Fred Fehsenfeld built a series of businesses that employed and enriched thousands of people around Indiana and the world. A model for what we now call lifelong learning, he was always on top of the latest technology, always conceiving large new projects and looking far into a future he could not possibly live to see. And modest about his achievements every step of the way.
He almost didn’t get the chance to do any of that. On his 18th birthday, in 1942, he left his freshman dorm room in Cary Hall and enlisted in the Army. He flew 86 missions over Europe with a storied unit in which almost half his fellow pilots were killed in action.
In an oral history of his experiences, Fred told of his first close-air dogfight combat. He was low to the ground, with bullets everywhere, and death perhaps an instant away. The interviewer asked, "What were you thinking at a moment like that?" Fred answered, "I was thinking, I finally got a chance to make some German pay for yanking me out of Purdue University." He survived the war, came back, still younger than most of you, to finish his M.E. degree and lead a life of ehttps://p.9136.com/1wplishment.

In this glorious summer， we will say goodbye！ Who have experienced life in high school people would say， three years of high school time is very impressive， very profound。 This is not only due to the tension of living under high pressure； Chengshan the pile， the examination paper to fly sky； and when the results fall the tears flow and the development plan。 Life in the future， we will be thinking slowly， slowly tastes will appreciate the deep spiritual growth of high school three years away， will always cherish the memory of his life the first time all the hard work！
As your teacher， over the past three years， we have day and night together， together we have the honor to accompany you through life's most beautiful season of youth。 We are willing to remember each bright smiling faces and those flowery sun everywhere， in the early morning Shusheng Lang。 In this three—year period， we can not give you more things， only doing all， tomorrow you sail for the voyage helped。 In the meantime， the harsh criticism and the harsh requirements of hard training， you may be hard to accept once， but we believe that everyone can understand， because as a teacher he has done everything for their own students to do something ， in order of their outstanding students。
Today， we are here the successful completion of the studies， however， the long road of life， and did not know the road to poverty。 Secondary education is only the starting point in life， it only teaches you the basis of general knowledge and basic skills。 Tomorrow， you will enter the new schools， more beautiful on the knowledge of waiting for you to capture， but also the vast ocean of knowledge awaiting you to travel， but also broad knowledge of the fertile soil in the waiting for you to work， more rugged knowledge of the risk in waiting for passers—by you to conquer！
Therefore， today's graduation is not only a summary of yesterday， it is the call for tomorrow is all your teachers and friends for your campaign and bolstering departure tomorrow！ The journey of the future， accompanied by flowers and thorns， with setbacks and success； I speak on behalf of the graduating class of all teachers， most would like to say is：
Each person's lifetime can not be winners， General， it is impossible not to encounter setbacks and difficulties that， a critical moment should be to muster the courage to face the grim reality of courage。 Said a war hero saying： on the battlefield， even if I fall， I have looked at the front of the eyes。 So today， I do not wish you every success in the future； I wish you even after the fall of 9999 times， 9999 times still stand up！
在這燦爛的夏季，我們就要說再見了！凡經(jīng)歷過高中生活的人都會說，高中三年的時光很難忘，很深刻。這不僅僅是由于那高壓下緊張的生活；那摞成山、飛滿天的卷子；和那成績跌落時流過的淚和制定的計劃。在以后的生活中，大家會慢慢思考，慢慢品味，會深刻的體會到高中三年成長的心靈路程，會永遠懷念自己在人生道路上第一次全力以赴的拼搏！
作為你們的老師，三年來，我們朝夕相伴，我們有幸陪大家一同走過了你們生命中最亮麗的青春花季。我們愿意記住每一張燦爛如花的笑臉和那些陽光遍地、書聲朗朗的清晨。在這三年的時間里，我們無法給予你們更多的東西，只能傾其所有，為你們明天的.揚帆遠航推波助瀾。在此期間，嚴(yán)厲的批評，苛刻的要求，艱苦的訓(xùn)練，或許曾令你們難以接受，但我們相信大家能夠理解，因為作為一名老師他所做的一切，都是為了自己的學(xué)生能夠有所作為，為了自己的學(xué)生能出類拔萃。
今天，大家在這里圓滿的完成了學(xué)業(yè)，但，人生之路漫長，求識之路未窮。中學(xué)教育還只是人生的起跑點，它才教給你們一般的基礎(chǔ)知識和基本技能。明天，你們將跨入新的學(xué)校，更美麗的知識之花在等待著你們?nèi)X取，更浩瀚的知識海洋在等待著你們?nèi)ュ塾�，更寬闊的知識沃土在等待著你們?nèi)ジ�，更崎嶇的知識險途在等待著你們?nèi)フ鞣?/p>
因此，今天的畢業(yè)不僅是對昨天的總結(jié)，更是對明天的呼喚，是你們的所有師長和朋友為你們明日的出征而壯行！未來的征途上，鮮花與荊棘相伴，挫折與成功同在；我代表畢業(yè)班的所有老師，最想對大家說的是：
每個人的一輩子都不可能是常勝將軍，不可能不遇到一點挫折和困難，關(guān)鍵時刻應(yīng)鼓起敢于面對嚴(yán)峻現(xiàn)實的勇氣。一位戰(zhàn)斗英雄說過這樣一句話：在戰(zhàn)場上，即使我倒下去了，我的目光也要看著前面。因此，今天，我不祝你們的未來一帆風(fēng)順；我祝你們即使九千九百九十九次的跌倒之后，仍舊九千九百九十九次的站起來！

In sports, we call for "fresh legs" when our health is on the decline, when our bodies are met with dis-ease, or when veteran players get sick or tired. I would submit that my generation, most of your parents’ cohort, is the veterans and frankly, we are winded. We’ve been in the game since the clock started. Now, don’t get it twisted. W still got it. Thank you for that. But we still need your enthusiasm, your emotional intelligence and your energy to impact the field of play in this game we call life.
So let’s wrap this thing up – you ready? I asked you: were you ready? Because it’s time to move on to the really exciting conferring of degrees! Somebody say amen.
So let me leave you with this.
Duke is a very special place. To get in is no small feat, but to get out is a real accomplishment.
Every one of you graduates is to be commended for your hard work and effort to this point. From our youngest grad at 20 years old to our most seasoned grad at 72, somebody say amen, you are all awesome and we are truly proud to welcome you into the Duke Family!

Dear teachers and students
hello everyone!
The years are in a hurry, and the flowers are blooming and falling. In a twinkling of an eye, the words of six years of primary school students have passed like clouds. However, my heart is still very attached to my alma mater. After six years of primary school life, I can usher in a strange school gate.
Here, many memories are clearly reflected in my mind. From the first day of the first grade, I came to this mysterious and strange campus. Day by day in the past, the blink of an eye to the second grade. Once, my friends and I were chasing each other on the playground. We were very happy. Without waiting to be happy, a sudden pain happened to me. There was a classmate who stretched out his foot, but at that time I was still completely immersed in the game. One of them didn't pay attention and was knocked down. But because of my confusion, half of my face fell out of blood, just like the face was destroyed. At that time, the players were stunned and dull for two seconds before they realized that I was wrestling. Some of my friends wipe my face with paper towel while walking, while others hold me, showing great concern and anxiety in their eyes. At that time, my tears have been spinning in my eyes, moving tears have been flowing down.
I still remember that when I held the sports meeting, I chose two events, both of which were running, but I was just making trouble. I ran the 100 meter race first, and I came last. I was very discouraged, but the teacher came to comfort me and encouraged me all the time. One day later, it was my 200 meter run, and I was the last runner. The teacher not only didn't say that I was useless, but also encouraged me all the time, saying that you will get good results in the next race. I also want to get good grades very much. I'm born without motor cells. No matter how I practice, I can't even get up. In sports, I may be a Dou that I can't help.
Goodbye, dear alma mater, the past events in your arms are still fresh in my mind. They are the shining pearls in our memory warehouse; In your arms, we become sensible from ignorance; In your arms, we grow from childish to mature; In your arms, we have changed from timidity to bravery. Dear students, please remember that we are together bit by bit, day and night, let our friendship last forever.

Today, I believe that we are living in a similar moment. And once again, we’ll be counting on MIT graduates – all of you – to lead us.
But this time, our most important and pressing mission – your generation’s mission – is not to explore deep space and reach faraway places. It is to save our own planet, the one that we’re living on, from climate change. And unlike 1962, the primary challenge before you is not scientific or technological. It is political.
The fact is we’ve already pioneered the technology to tackle climate change. We know how to power buildings using sun and wind. We know how to power vehicles using batteries charged with renewable energy. We know how to power factories and industries using hydrogen and fuel cells. And we know that these innovations don’t require us to sacrifice financially or economically. Just the opposite, these investments, on balance, create jobs and save money.
Yes, all of those power sources need to be brought to scale – and that will require further scientific innovation, which we need you to help lead. But the question isn’t how to tackle climate change. We’ve known how to do that for many years. The question is: why the hell are we moving so slowly?
The race we are in is against time, and we are losing. And with each passing year, it becomes clearer just how far behind we’ve fallen, and how fast the situation is deteriorating, and how tragic the results can be.

My visit to Casals’ house was a reminder to me that we must all try to use our power well. Because to not use our power is to abuse it.
To not speak, to remain silent in the face of uncertainty, in the face of the insecurity and massive changes that confront us today, that every one of us confronts every day of our lives – that is an abuse of power.
Let us remember: Every struggle for reform, innovation, or justice starts with a voice in the wilderness. A voice in the wilderness. Vox clamantis in deserto. You all know that.
So, as you go forward today, I’d just like to leave you with this one thought: You have, and always will have, more power than you know. Never abuse this power. Never abuse this power. It is a gift. Use it with great care and with great intention. Listen to the voices crying in the wilderness; become one of those voices, a voice for justice and for hope.
Remember, always, that you are a human being first. It’s a truth embedded in the very foundation of your liberal arts education. Practice your humanity daily. Practice that truth. Let it power your decisions, let it inspire your thoughts, and let it shape your ideals. Then you will soar. You will fly. And you will help others soar and fly.

i am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. i never graduated from college. truth be told, this is the closest i've ever gotten to a college graduation.
today i want to tell you three stories from my life. that's it. no big deal. just three stories.
the first story is about connecting the dots.
i dropped out of reed college after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before i really quit. so why did i drop out?
it started before i was born. my biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. she felt very strongly that i should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. except that when i popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. so my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "we have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" they said: "of course." my biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. she refused to sign the final adoption papers. she only relented a few months later when my parents promised that i would someday go to college.
and 17 years later i did go to college. but i naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. after six months, i couldn't see the value in it. i had no idea what i wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. and here i was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. so i decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out ok. it was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions i ever made. the minute i dropped out i could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.
it wasn't all romantic. i didn't have a dorm room, so i slept on the floor in friends' rooms, i returned coke bottles for the 5 deposits to buy food with, and i would walk the 7 miles across town every sunday night to get one good meal a week at the hare krishna temple. i loved it. and much of what i stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. let me give you one example: reed college at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. because i had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, i decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. i learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. it was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and i found it fascinating.
none of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. but ten years later, when we were designing the first macintosh computer, it all came back to me. and we designed it all into the mac. it was the first computer with beautiful typography. if i had never dropped in on that single course in college, the mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. and since windows just copied the mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. if i had never dropped out, i would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when i was in college. but it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.
again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. so you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. you have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. this approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
my second story is about love and loss.
i was lucky – i found what i loved to do early in life. woz and i started apple in my parents garage when i was 20. we worked hard, and in 10 years apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. we had just released our finest creation - the macintosh - a year earlier, and i had just turned 30. and then i got fired. how can you get fired from a company you started?
well, as apple grew we hired someone who i thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. but then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. when we did, our board of directors sided with him. so at 30 i was out. and very publicly out. what had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.
i really didn't know what to do for a few months. i felt that i had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that i had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. i met with david packard and bob noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. i was a very public failure, and i even thought about running away from the valley. but something slowly began to dawn on me – i still loved what i did. the turn of events at apple had not changed that one bit. i had been rejected, but i was still in love. and so i decided to start over.
i didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. the heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. it freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.
during the next five years, i started a company named next, another company named pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife.

Dear leaders, teachers, parents, dear students
hello everyone!
Today is an unforgettable and celebratory day. After five years of hard work, the students here have successfully completed their primary school study. They are about to bid farewell to their golden childhood and enter a new journey. First of all, on behalf of all the teachers in the primary school, let me express my heartfelt congratulations to you.
At this moment, looking at your innocent and happy smiling faces, my eyes seem to emerge every bit of your school. Five years, we walk hand in hand, the small classroom, sprinkled our laughter, wrote down the figure of our struggle, engraved our heroic oath. We get along day and night. We are teachers and students in class and friends after class. We have established a deep relationship between teachers and students. Looking back on the past five years, it seems that it happened yesterday, and every teacher will never forget: the first time you walked into the beautiful and tidy dormitory, lying on the comfortable cot, that excited look; When you first put on the red scarf under the bright national flag, you look solemn; After your own extracurricular learning, you can show your artistic talents on the stage; You use your diligence to repay the teachers' fruitful results: in all kinds of competitions held throughout the country, you have achieved good results many times and won many praises for the school! In the past five years, in the fertile soil of Nanshan bilingual school primary school, with the care of school leaders and the careful cultivation of teachers, and with the active cooperation and strong support of parents, you have grown into a vigorous youth.
School is not only the cradle of your growth, you are here to fly the ideal, sowing hope. But today, you are going to bid farewell to your alma mater. The teacher sincerely hopes that you can open up a new situation in the new semester and write your wonderful learning life with a never say die self-confidence! Bill Gates, the king of computer software, once said: "the secret of my success is not to do something, but to understand what I don't do..." so the teacher hopes that you can distinguish right from wrong, abide by the law, make good use of your words and deeds, and be an upright person.
The reason why eagles fly high and fly freely in the blue sky is that they have a pair of hard wings that have been honed by storms, cold and heat. May you fly high bravely like eagles to welcome a brighter tomorrow and embrace the more dazzling sun.
Finally, I hope you can use the green of youth to brew a rich golden autumn in the future!
I wish you success in your studies and a bright future!
