"No matter what careers or hobbies you pursue after leaving here,do them with soul.You are empowered to be great leaders.You are equipped- in your jobs,your hobbies,your relationships.You are rquipped with the ability to think critically ,to listen attentively,to navigate the grey areas,to read between the lines,to bear witness,and to lead in the pursuit of truth."
John Ligend,American soulsinger,University of Pennsylvania,May 18,2009
无论你们离开这儿之后所要追求的是怎样的职业或爱好,都要全心投入。你们有能力成为伟大的领导者,你们已经为职业,爱好和人际关系作好了充分准备,你们有能力做批判性思考,能够用心倾听,解决难题,领悟言外之意,指引人们追求真相。
“The journey is long.The journey is hard.And we don't have much time left to make it. It is a journey that will require each of us to persevere through setbacks ,and fight for every inch of progress,even when it comes in fits and starts .So lit us begin.For if we are flexible and pragmativ;if we can resolve to work tirelessly in a common effort,then we will achieve our common purpose:a world that is safer,cleaner,and healthier than the one we found; and a future that is worthy of our children."
Barack Obama,United Nations,Sept22.2009
