Good Morning, everyone! I'm Zhang Zheng, your old classmate.
Welcome to Class 9, Elite, Hefei No.45 Middle School. Let's congratulate ourselves with warm applause!
Meeting you in this crisp autumn day is like seeing the golden Prajna Paramita, and it suddenly opens up.
When you enter the classroom, you must see these big words written on the blackboard, "Welcome to Elite Class 9".
Yes, elite class 9, this is our class number. This is not only the expectation of the old class for everyone here, but also the expectation of the students for their future life.
I hope every student in Class 9 will believe in themselves more fully!
I expect every member of our Class 9 to achieve the goal more firmly!
I hope every family member in Class 9 can always look up at the starry sky and be happy!
Why did the old class name our class 9 elite class 9? Today, there is a story to share with you.
Have you ever heard of iPhone?
Yes, it's what we often call an Apple phone. As early as 2008, it has been popular all over the world. Does anyone know who its founder is?
Not bad, Steven Jobs. Founder of Apple.
His life can be described as brilliant, and some of his early experiences are worth learning from.
When he was in college, he chose to drop out of school because of family financial difficulties and other reasons.
Although he dropped out of school, he needed to find something to do in order to survive. At that time, his Reed University provided probably the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Every poster on campus and every label on the drawer are beautifully handwritten. Since he had dropped out of school and didn't have to take those compulsory courses, he decided to take calligraphy classes. In this course, he learned about serif and sans serif fonts, how to change the spacing between words in different letter combinations, and how to write good words.
This is a subtlety that science cannot capture. It is lovely, full of historical details and artistry, and he feels completely attracted. At that time, he didn't expect calligraphy to have any practical value in his later years. However, ten years later, when he was designing the first Macintosh computer, his previous experience suddenly came to mind. So he designed all these things into the computer. This is the first computer with such a beautiful text layout. If he hadn't taken such a course by chance in college, Macintosh would never have so many printed fonts or the font size and spacing were reasonable. If Windows hadn't copied Macintosh, personal computers might not have these fonts and font sizes.
What did you hear from Jobs' personal experience?
Yes, the 1 point I want to talk about today is:
There is no road in life in vain, and every step counts.
The bits and pieces you have experienced will be connected in some way to achieve yourself in your future life.
You have to believe that those bits and pieces will be connected in some way in your future life. You must believe in something-your courage, destiny, life, karma, whatever-because believing that these points can be connected all the way will bring you confidence to follow your feelings and make you far away from the ordinary and become different.
The second point that Lao Ban will talk about today is:
Always believe in yourself.
Stepping into junior high school, everything is different from primary school. You start to have more homework, and learning becomes more difficult. But no matter how many new changes there are, the only constant is your confident heart.
On the road of striding forward, never lose heart and always be full of love for what you do. You must learn to love learning as much as you love your life. In these three years, study will occupy a large part of your life. Only when you believe that what you are doing is a great cause can you feel at ease. If you haven't found this kind of love yet, keep looking and don't stop. Look for it wholeheartedly, and when you find it, you will find that you are the elite you expect in your heart.
Third, cherish every moment of life as if we were going to die tomorrow.
Your time is limited, don't waste it on repeating other people's lives. Don't be bound by dogma, which is to live in the results of other people's thinking. Don't let other people's noisy opinions drown out your true inner voice. Your intuition and heart know what you want to be. Everything else is secondary.
Stay hungry, stay stupid.
If you are eager for knowledge, you will become stupid. I often use this to encourage myself. Now, when you are about to embark on a new journey, I hope you can do the same.
Six years ago, the old class brought a class named Elite 18.
This is the elite class 18. In this year's college entrance examination, one was admitted to Peking University and the other was admitted to Tsinghua. Many students realized their dream of becoming an elite six years ago.
Three years ago, the old class took a class called Elite Class One.
It is this elite class 1 that has achieved brilliant results in this year's senior high school entrance examination in Hefei. There are five students in Hefei No.45 Middle School 10, and three students in our elite class occupy the whole school 10. The number of people admitted to the key high school 168 ranks in the forefront of the whole school, and I believe the elite class 18 is also in the forefront of the whole school.
Today, 2065438+August 24, 2009, this ordinary day will always be remembered in our minds, because today, our elite Class 9 was born, and she will surely guide our life vigorously.
Elite Class 9, this great name will accompany you with three years of youth without regrets, will accompany you through 1030 glorious days, and may even echo without regrets in your life forever.
I look forward to every flower here;
I hope the same youth has different happiness;
Expect everyone in Class 9 of Elite to pursue Excellence and achieve themselves.
