Teachers and classmates: Good morning
!
On behalf of the school, I welcome new students, new teachers, and new employees to join Foshan Foreign Language School! In ancient times, there were four major gifts in life: entrance ceremony, coming-of-age ceremony, wedding, and funeral. Putting study and enrollment in such an important position shows the importance of the entrance ceremony.
Today’s opening ceremony, the topic of my speech is "Face the Differences and Strive for Excellence".
A celebrity once used an advertisement line to express the voice of many parents: "Since I have a child, I always want to give him the best things in the world". According to the law of conservation of energy, this desperate mentality is probably accompanied by high expectations: I hope my child is the best child in the world-self-improvement, self-discipline, clear goals; tall and straight, beautiful appearance; good at sports, healthy; Active learning, excellent grades; generous and good interpersonal.
I often joked: The heroes and heroines on TV are tall, rich, handsome, white, rich and beautiful. The truth is-tall is not necessarily rich, rich is not necessarily handsome, handsome is not necessarily tall; white is not necessarily rich, rich Not necessarily white, white is not necessarily beautiful.
Ideal is plump, reality is skinny. We do not have perfect parents, and it is not practical for parents to expect perfect children. In the new semester, I hope all students can realize that life is different, and we need to face up to differences and strive for excellence.
Child, you can be imperfect, but you can’t help but love yourself.
On the morning of September 2, a key high school student in Foshan ran away from home. The children who had run away wrote a few words to their parents: I’m leaving, really... Don’t find me, don’t be sad, I have said everything that should be said.
I don't know what this child has gone through, but maybe I have felt the imperfection of the world, even maliciousness.
mother’s circle of friends wrote two sentences: Son, mother loves you. Mommy can't live without you. The world of
is not always friendly, when the external world sends us an unfriendly message. Tell yourself: The world can be imperfect, and we can also be imperfect. The imperfect self is still worthy of being treated, at least you can hug yourself. In foreign language schools, there are teachers and managers who treat you as a VIP.
Bi Shumin said: In this world...I am very important. Each of us should have the courage to say this. Our status may be humble, our identity may be small, but this does not mean that we are not important. Important is not synonymous with greatness, it is the promise of the soul to life.
Compared to the long history, great men are very few; compared to a family, children are very few. Very few great people are important to the whole world, and very few children are very important to the family. My child, you may not be perfect. Mom and Dad who dislike your procrastination, poor study, and bad temper did not tell you that you are the world of Mom and Dad. You can be imperfect, but you can't help but love yourself.
Children, you can be good, but you have to fight hard.
Let's take a look at the results of a high school student before hard work: 91 in Chinese, 79 in mathematics, 65 in English, 106 in politics, and 118 in general. The total score is 459. The full score of the above subjects is 150 points. But his goal is Peking University, and the admission score of Peking University is estimated to be no less than 630 points.
See what this struggling child has done in one year? The first thing to do is to move all the books that have nothing to do with the exam, leaving only a copy of Hu Shi’s old talk; The second thing is to never go to the library to read idle books, all classes are indispensable; the third thing is to put away the love and hatred for the teacher, for the purpose of seeking knowledge for the test; the fourth thing is to ensure that you study yourself late It takes three hours to actively conduct test-oriented training; the fifth thing is to make a daily plan and complete it. After the college entrance examination of
, his results are as follows: Chinese 115, Mathematics 132, English 130, Comprehensive 146, History 127, with a total score of 650. He was admitted to the History Department of Peking University. His name is Justin Sun, and he sums up his counterattack like this: In my opinion, the method may be secondary, but the key is this attitude.
You can not be good, but you have to fight hard. If excellence is the first place, then compared with the first in the class, most people are not good enough; compared with the first in the school, the first in the class is not good enough; compared with the first in the city, the first in the school It’s not good enough either; compared with the province’s first place, the city’s first place is not good enough.
Children, excellence requires comparison with others, but hard work does not need to rely on others. What is hard work, host Huang Xi said: from failure to failure, and keep enthusiasm. I think this is hard work.
Children, you can be out of gregariousness, but you have to make friends.
Some students who are not good enough told me: Teacher, as long as I stay with students with good grades, I will become unconfident. Classmates with excellent grades will never understand the inner pain of our underachievers.
Some ordinary-looking classmates told me: Teacher, as long as I'm with good-looking classmates, I will become unconfident. Students who are naturally beautiful will never understand the inner pain of our ordinary students.
Some students from poor backgrounds told me: Teacher, as long as I stay with classmates from good backgrounds, I will become unconfident. The local tyrants will never understand the inner pain of our poor students.
...
Each of us has a reason to be unconfident and has the right to keep a distance from those around us. But, kid, if the classmates around you think differently from you, remember: you can be out of the group, but you can’t help but make friends. The "friends" I understand can be classmates, teachers, and elders.
During the college entrance examination this year, the article "Thanks for the Poverty" written by Wang Xinyi in Xincun, Zaoqiang Town, Zaoqiang County, Hebei Province, was screened.
, a poor girl who entered the gate of Peking University with a score of 707 in the college entrance examination, said about her first experience: a boy made a mockery of the "earth and dregs" padded jacket that had grown out of my sleeves. I cried back. The family told her mother that she only said one sentence: "Ignore him, just do things down-to-earth." Then I went to the fields to sow seeds, and I had a deeper understanding of "down-to-earth". To sow the seeds, you must take a heavy foot. Stepped so hard, how can Miao break through the ground? But my mother told me that if the soil is loose, the seedlings will not come out. Only by encountering solid soil before breaking the soil can the seedlings grow more vigorously. When I grew up, when I remembered these words again, I realized that I was just like that.
Wang Xinyi was ridiculed by classmates for wearing shabby clothes. Like every one of us, Wang Xinyi would not think about it. He would instinctively keep a distance from his classmates and become unsocial. But she would ask for help, and under the guidance of her mother, she eventually became a pistachio in a class with many friends.
Children, accepting the imperfect self, the imperfect self, or even the uncomfortable self, is not to indulge your lazy self. Facing the difference is to strive for excellence.
From difference to excellence, just like the "new day and far" mentioned in the school motto, it needs every day, every day of every week, every day of every month, every day of every semester, every day of every year Persistent efforts will eventually become "excellent" and reach a farther future.
Many things are not difficult to do to lose confidence, but because they lose confidence. Every child is a VIP outside the Buddha, and every teacher will take care of your growth. Students, work a little bit every day, the key high school will not be far; relax a little bit every day, ordinary high school is also far away. Teachers and classmates of
, as a school in the stage of creating a brand, we need to face the differences and strive for excellence.
