有梦最美,希望相随:致沁源劉燕良希望班同学们的一封信

致沁源劉燕良希望班同学们的一封信: 亲爱的同学们:你们好! 我是劉燕良 Joe Liu,非常抱歉,不能亲自来到云南,但我的心一直挂念着你们。知道你们即将完成希望班的学习旅程,老友杨继祖 先生 Mr. KC Yang 特地要我写封简讯,给大家一些鼓励和祝福。 还记得在这个项目开始的时候,我曾经和大家分享过我的座右铭。今天,学期即将结束,我希望分享一些人生经验,供你们参考。 首先,要做一个有用的人。 有用的人,不一定是做大官、赚大钱、出大名,而是能够对自己、家人,也对社会有贡献的人。你们今天努力读书,也不只是为了考试成绩,更是为了将来有能力照顾自己、帮助家人,也为家乡和社会做一点有意义的事。 其次,是了解失败是成功之母,人生不会永远顺利,会遇到机会和挫折。所谓不经一事,不长一智,就是这个道理。我很了解你们的求学路并不容易。有些同学来自山区、乡村、生活和学习条件可能比较辛苦。但是要记住身处逆境,是磨练自己最好的机会。
