真正的失败是不去拼搏。我始终坚信：真正的努力是不会白费的。它们会以别的方式或在别的时候回报我们。从这个意义上说，今天的失败是在为明天的成功做准备。
最后，让我们记住戈德·史密斯的名言：“人生最大的光荣不是我们永远都不会摔倒，而是在每次摔倒之后，我们都能爬起来，继续前行。”
谢谢大家！
I think； therefore I am
Mo Junhua
Dear fellow friends：
Good morning。 Today I m going to share with you the most valuable
thing that I have learned at university。
I was born in 1977。 But my life didn t begin in the real sense
until 1999。 Prior to that； I spent every hour； every day and every
year doing what was expected of me ； eating； sleeping； studying；
playing； so on and so forth。 I didn't have the idea of who I am；
what I should do now and next or what life means to me。 Never had I
thought about these questions。 This situation lasted for year after
year。 It underwent few changes even after I entered the university。
And it was another two years later that I began to think about these
questions； which are of great significance to me； From then on； my
life turned over a new leaf； because independent thinking； which
didn t have any place in my life； started to play an important part。
First； thinking helps me to know myself； such as my dream；
interest； strengths and weaknesses。 As we all know； every one of us
has his own character； although we are all human beings。 It is
therefore vital for us to develop a sense of identity； form our own
opinions； make our own choices and take responsibility for our own
destinies。 We won t be the initiator of our action or in charge of
our life； unless we think about our uniqueness and make our
individuality clear。 To my joy； I ve started to do that。 Now I set
my own standards and regard them as my code of conduct rather than
judge myself by how others estimate me or how much approval I m
getting from other people。 I won t live in the shadow of anyone
else。 I live my life in my own way。
Second； thinking stimulates me to treat life and time seriously。
Man s dearest possession is life。 It is given to him but once。 So
how we spend our life and time is a question we are supposed to ask
ourselves。 It s a pity that some people have never made an effort to
seek the meaning of life。 They live their own life； but not in a
meaningful way。 Most of them seem disoriented； not knowing what to
do or how to make use of time。 To be honest； I used to be troubled
by the same problems。 However； as I learned to think； I came to know
the purpose of life； which is by no means food； drink and
merrymaking。 Now I ve made up my mind to be a diligent； responsible
man。 On the one hand； I m eager to give full play to my professional
knowledge and live out my dream。 On the other hand； I m trying my
best to fulfill my obligations to society as well as my family and
friends。 In a word； I want to live a full； meaningful life。 I hate
to spend my time in vain。 So I m working hard to challenge and
improve myself。 It can be said without the fear of exaggeration that
thinking has awakened my slumbering soul； transformed me into an
enterprising young man。
It is therefore apparent that thinking is playing a very important
role in my life。 However； it can be painful at times。 Although I
spend much time thinking； I still cannot sort out some of the
problems I encounter。 Consequently； I will get depressed。 It seems
that I m asking for trouble。 Why not go and have some fun instead of
taking pains to think？ The reason is that its rewards far outnumber
those momentary displeasure。 Thinking is the key to life； the
gateway to psychological maturity； and the beacon to the road ahead。
Leaning to think is the milestone in my life。 It is the most
valuable thing I learned at university。 Now it has bee an
indispensable part of my life。
〃I think； therefore I am。〃
Thank you！

我思故我在
亲爱的朋友们：
早上好！今天，我将与大家一起分享我在大学里学到的最有价值的东西。
我是1977年出生的，但是，我真正意义上的人生却是到1999年才开始的。在那以前的每一时、每一天、每一年，我都是做着别人希望我做的事，吃饭、睡觉、学习、玩耍。我根本就不知道我是谁，不知道我现在该做什么、将来要做什么，也不知道生活对我意味着什么。我也从来没有想过这些问题。这种状态持续了许多年，即使在我上大学之后，也没有发生什么变化。在大学里呆了两年之后，我才开始独立思考一些对我有重大意义的问题。从那时候起，我的人生翻开了崭新的一页，因为过去不曾在我生活中占有一席之地的独立思考逐渐成为我生活中的一件大事。
首先，独立思考帮助我认识自己，比如说我的梦想、兴趣、优点和缺点。我们都知道，虽然大家都是人，但我们中的每一个人都有自己的个性和特征。因此，发展我们的个性、形成我们自己的观点、做出我们自己的选择以及对我们自己的人生负责就是一件至关重要的大事。如果不考虑自身的特点、不明确自己的个性，我们就不会是自己行动的发起者或自己命运的主人。令我感到欣慰的是，我已经开始这么做了。现在，我有了自己的标准并以此作为自己行为的主要准则，而不是根据别人对我的评价来评价自己，或是根据我得到别人的多少认可来肯定自己。我不愿意生活在任何人的阴影之下，我要按自己的方式来生活。
其次，独立思考促使我认真地对待时间与生命。人的一生最宝贵的是生命，生命属于人只有一次。那么，如何度过我们这一生、如何分配我们的时间就值得我们去扪心自问。遗憾的是，有些人从来没有试着去寻找生命的意义。他们一天天地活着，但活得并不是很有意义。他们似乎没有目标，不知道�
