This article is a speech at the President of Coca-Cola Company.
I have just retired from the President of Coca Cola, and I haven't worked, I am looking for a job. I guess that many people in you are also doing the same thing. So you, our gang is the same.
My advice is: don't panic. I read philosophy at the university. I told you that in more than 40 years, I have been watching recruitment advertisements, I hope to see an advertisement: "Recruitt philosophers, salary, and extra allowance." But I know that the speaker of graduation ceremony Clearly, he should have more ideas.
Review your life, starting from a farm in Yahua until you sit into the luxury office of Atlanta, I can tell you, this is a painful and unbearable experience, it is good. However, it is not. In some cases, disappointment and worrying tempents will only make life happily and excipuse. You may ask why, I think a lot of this problem. A few years ago, the playwright Nil Simon said that he was thinking, how can it be exactly his theme of his life. His conclusion is that there is a word to describe the most, that is, "passion". He said that enthusiasm is the power to dominate and motivate me, if there is no passion, life will look pale and bleak. Of course, he is an art, but please believe me, the simple truth is suitable for all activities. It has always been the core of my life. Whether you are engaged in business, engage in science or law, religion or education; whether you are the top smart, or is equal to our ordinary people; no matter what you are tall and fat, what kind of person is not important, if you hope Life has a sense of accomplishment, I hope life is full, there is an essential thing, that is: "passion".
You know, some tragedy will come to some people, although they have been well-educated, have a master's degree, often in the temple of the knowledge field, as long as they don't care, it will become cuzygous. They can't get rid of men and women's common shortcomings and weaknesses. I tell you, the shortcomings and weaknesses are objective. The world, especially human beings, is always deteriorated. This is the case. St. Augustine, Aristotle, Homer, and even ancient Astroned people, it has condemned young people without respecting the elderly, not obeying the rules, dishonesty. In short, it is not like the wonderful time they are.
I am interesting that some people born during the baby tide are now ripe. They complained that there is no excellent music now. But I have to say that I will never think of it. When we review the past, you will make a period of creating great musical works in the 1970s. I have a friend of an architect. He said that if you give me a camera, I can take the latest house of the best architect in the world from different angles, because I can Fit five or six or seven or eight flaws above, then align the lens, you can believe that the entire building has already fallen. In society, there are always some people like to align the lens to the daily event. If we let them shoot our lives, we will feel frustrated, worry and pain. So I stand here, watching 2,400 graduates from the age of 19 to 65. After their own efforts have finally been in today, you have achieved success, but also ready to continue, I invite you to pursue true sweetness, because I I believe in the three quality of true and good beauty replace 95% of human work. Beware of some people to assign the camera's lens to the defects and disadvantages of our lives. I don't mean that we should not face reality, not to say that we should be obsessed, nor insist that this world is perfect. No, this world is impossible to perfect, but we can make it beautiful. You have more than 2400 people to make it better. But you must believe that you can do an impact. But you have courage. When is it the best time? When is the best time to do a business, write a book, hiking, adventure, and complete a feat? I am willing to tell you, if you are a hobi, it will never start. I have been fortunate to meet Helen Keller. She has all the reasons to become a pessimist, but she said that pessimists will never find the mystery of the planet, and they don't dare to save the landless land on the map, and they don't dare to open up new heavens and the world to human minds. The objective environment is always imperfect, this is a simple fact. If you want to find a simple solution, you may have to find some excuses, design well, then start again.
My point is that it doesn't matter if it is not avoided in the future. Instead, the future is a series of infinite possibilities and opportunities, and our responsibility is to fully utilize these possible and opportunities.
I regard the human brain as a sponge. After long-term development, its main function is to absorb knowledge and skills, as well as a variety of things. I am sure, some doctors in the seat are frowning for the doctor I said, but I still have to say. We have stepped into the society later, and the sponge can be drums, so we started crowding it, that is, the turn we teach information and wisdom to others.
We squeezed and squeezed, which was taken out of the things stored inside. When some people keep squeeze, squeezing every day, when they use the things stored, one day will squeeze empty, become a hard group. They published thousands of speeches, wrote a similar article, and said that the old man talking, solves the new problems with the ancient way. They are always in place, and they are bound in the limitations of the times. Their mind is full of depression, second battles, 190s, 1990s, this is their current situation. But there may be another status quo. Reproduces the sponge. In your life, you will continue to choose new courses like reading a book at school. I am not saying, I want you to choose less, but it is necessary to close the world. The whole world is a wonderful endless class, you have to absorb fresh and nutritious water. President Franklin Roosevelt visited him at the Judge Holmes 90th birthday, and found that the old man was sitting in the book in the bear furnace of the study. Roosevelt asked him: "Mr. Dafa, what do you do?" Holmes looked at him and said, "I am training my brain, Mr. President. Now I advise you to treat your future with your continuously updated enthusiasm. I also have to recommend a value system to you. You may not be noticed that publications are like a spring tide is generally full of works that discuss values. Values and moral views seem to be researched again. But I know that the values are not fashionable, but the foundation of civilization. We value free, justice, responsibilities, charity, honesty, tolerance, legal, religion, beliefs and self - this set of arms of the arms. You have used many valuable time to test and evaluate many ideas and ideals, trying to determine what is good, what better, to guide our actions. In your whole life, when you need to make a moral decision, you will continue this test and evaluation. I advise you, don't give up this responsibility, don't be afraid to make a moral decision, because hesitation is nothing.
Now I don't advise you to buy a pair of telescovers. I advise you to have the courage of dreams. Check out your own inner heart, just ask: "What kind of future I want?" Then maintain its own ideal enthusiasm and voice.
For the outstanding children who are about to leave school, how beautiful and wonderful in our lives! No matter what your business, new careers, new challenges, new opportunities are appearing every day. A Latin Promotion of Robin William is "grasp today." Grasping today, that is, I have to grasp the future days. Dear graduates, please remember that life is not a rehearsal. The results in life are not our destination, but a journey.
May the wind and rain of fate make your life full of joy and hope. Explain your enthusiasm! God bless you.
