Chapter 2 Promise of the strong

Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business has been established for three years. In retrospect, these three years are a long time. Today I am very happy to see you and your family celebrating this proud moment in your life. Thank you for sharing it with me. Dean Xiang said that the guest speaker would like to say some words of encouragement. I don’t think today is the right time. You guys and ladies all have rich life experience. The future must also be unlimited, and you are the ones who know how to master and have the ability to dominate your own life, so I don't think I should tell you what you should do or what you should not do.

Today I want to share with you a belief that I hold dear and hold dear: I believe in freedom, and I believe that freedom and responsibility go hand in hand. I believe that everyone in the world has an obligation to uphold human dignity. I believe that helping others to contribute to society is a necessary responsibility for everyone. I believe that the strong must especially learn to listen to the silent cries of the weak; the strong without compassion is nothing but a vulgar man. I believe that only those who adhere to principles and have correct values ​​can build an upright, orderly and harmonious society together.A world without principles is a world without mutual trust.

I believe that a just society can only be built through a constant search for truth and fairness. I believe that there is no spiritual civilization, only the appearance of prosperity full of material things, it is a boring, selfish and dangerous world. I believe that people with ideals are full of arrogance and integrity, while ignorant people are often blinded by arrogance and false appearances. Dear friends, the key to the success of the strong lies in whether we can adhere to our correct ideals and principles with our own will; we can practice our beliefs, responsibilities and obligations with our perseverance, and use our knowledge to create a rich spiritual and rich homeland; we Can we integrate the wisdom and power of our own lives into our culture so that it can last forever in an ever-changing world; can we contribute to our beloved nation and create greater happiness, well-being, prosperity and prosperity for her? Extraordinary future.

I am here to encourage everyone.
