深圳市博納學(xué)校第四屆畢業(yè)典禮暨五周年校慶

來(lái)源：好上學(xué) ??時(shí)間：2024-03-23

六月，是一個(gè)綠意盎然、生機(jī)勃勃的季節(jié)，同時(shí)也伴隨著畢業(yè)離別的感傷，但是畢業(yè)同樣意味著希望、預(yù)示著一段新的征程！

深圳市博納學(xué)校第四屆畢業(yè)典禮暨五周年校慶于2019年6月5日順利舉行，今年我校12年級(jí)畢業(yè)班的人數(shù)不多，但是大部分同學(xué)都是在9年級(jí)或者更早就進(jìn)入博納學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)。他們陪伴博納學(xué)校走過(guò)了風(fēng)雨的五年，同舟共濟(jì)，最終撥云見(jiàn)日，一起收獲了成功與喜悅!

To the graduating class of 2019 and to our graduating 8th grade class. In both groups, each individual will begin writing a new chapter of your book after today. The high school graduates will be preparing to physically move to another country and preparing for all the challenges; all of life’s real challenges. You will no longer live in the comfort of your own home, the comfort of a country that speaks your language, the comfort of someone holding your hand and always helping you to solve every little problem that you encounter. You will go on to face the challenges that await you, and you will do so mostly alone. If you have prepared yourself for these challenges you will face some tough times ahead, but you will be able to carry on and see your way through the adversity because you have prepared. If you have not adequately prepared for life aboard and a life away from your parents these challenges may be insurmountable; but I hope you will find it in yourself to never give up. You reap what you sow and the harvest is soon to come in. Be prepared and put yourself into a realistic understanding of what awaits you. In the words of Benjamin Franklin; “By failing to prepare, you prepare to fail.” This is a very short sentence but the meaning is immense. Your scholastic aptitude and your self-discipline will be tested daily when you are abroad. Be prepared.

To our 8th grade students you will be moving on to high school. High school marks the true beginning of your educational journey. High school spans four years and will mark the start of your journey for college, a journey that will be recorded. Your journey will be recorded daily with attendance, and in the grade book; ultimately resulting in a transcript---hopefully. One does not necessarily have to be the smartest to get the best grades. What one does need is to have drive and determination to succeed. While school is often looked at as a series of academic tests it is also a test of self-discipline. This means getting out of bed even though you are tired, attending a class that you might not be interested in and still trying your best, and completing homework when it would be more fun to go play basketball. A journey that must be taken seriously, but not so seriously that you are never able to enjoy some of the scenery.

Both our 12th graders and 8th graders must be prepared to learn, to self-motivate, to help others, and to take responsibility for your actions. All of you are now old enough, and hopefully wise enough to understand the significance of the pervious statement. As quoted by Vernon Law “Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, and the lesson afterward.” Again, do not fall into the trap of being unprepared. Many people will tell you don’t worry about it; everything will work out. Please, do not follow that advice. Rare is the day that everything works out from luck. The most assured way to achieve success and greatness is to be prepared, to work hard, and to make things happen. I will tell you, there are three different types of people: those who make things happens, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what happened. Take this advice seriously, and be the person who makes things happen. Remember, there is seldom a traffic jam on the stretch of road marked “the extra mile”; the reason being is most people simply do not travel there. Working while everyone else is resting will bring you closer to that lonely stretch of road titled “the extra mile.”

One of the greatest boxers in the history of the sport, Muhammad Ali, was once asked “how many sit-ups do you do every day?” His response was “I don’t know how many I do, because I don’t start counting until it hurts.” This one simple sentence says it all. That is a never say die attitude; that is a man who was willing to give his all every day to be the best; to become the greatest.

In this room today, there are plenty of what people might call ordinary people; but please look to the person to your left, and then to your right, then look at yourself and ask which one of us will be the extraordinary individual in a sea of ordinary individuals?

In President John F. Kennedy’s 1962 speech in reference to space exploration he said:

“We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win.”

I was going to conclude by saying best of luck; but decided against as luck will not see you through. So I will conclude by saying always put your best effort forward, and remember it is always darkest before the dawn thus making it the scariest time with the most uncertainty and the least clarity. When you are ready to give up; that is the moment you must never give up; for that is the moment that is one moment behind success. Remember, the easy way and the right way are seldom the same. It is not easy to the right thing in the face of the easy thing. But the greatest reward and satisfaction await when you succeed in an area you thought to be impossible.

親愛(ài)的12年級(jí)畢業(yè)班和8年級(jí)畢業(yè)生：

你們中的每個(gè)孩子都將在今天之后開(kāi)始撰寫(xiě)人生的新篇章!

高中畢業(yè)生將準(zhǔn)備到另一個(gè)國(guó)家應(yīng)對(duì)生活中真正的挑戰(zhàn)，你將脫離舒適圈，獨(dú)自面對(duì)挑戰(zhàn)。如果你已經(jīng)為迎接這些挑戰(zhàn)做好了準(zhǔn)備，那么同時(shí)你就將做好面臨這些艱難的時(shí)刻!你將在逆境中繼續(xù)前進(jìn)，你要做好準(zhǔn)備!如果你沒(méi)有為異國(guó)的生活做好充分準(zhǔn)備，離開(kāi)父母等這些挑戰(zhàn)可能對(duì)你來(lái)說(shuō)是無(wú)法克服的!我希望你會(huì)永不言棄!你收獲了你播種的東西，做好準(zhǔn)備，讓自己對(duì)等待你的東西有所期待。用本杰明富蘭克林的話來(lái)說(shuō) ：“由于沒(méi)有準(zhǔn)備，你準(zhǔn)備失敗?！边@是一個(gè)非常短的句子，但意義是巨大的。當(dāng)你在國(guó)外時(shí)，你的學(xué)術(shù)能力和自律每天都會(huì)受到考驗(yàn)，請(qǐng)做好準(zhǔn)備。

對(duì)于我們的8年級(jí)學(xué)生，你將進(jìn)入高中。高中標(biāo)志著你的教育之旅的真正開(kāi)始。高中四年后，將標(biāo)志著你開(kāi)啟大學(xué)之旅，這將是一個(gè)有紀(jì)念意義的旅程。你的旅程每天都會(huì)被記錄，并出現(xiàn)在成績(jī)簿中，最終呈現(xiàn)在成績(jī)單上。獲得最好成績(jī)的人不一定是最聰明的人，人們需要的是擁有成功的動(dòng)力和決心。雖然學(xué)校經(jīng)常有一系列學(xué)術(shù)考試，它也是對(duì)自律的考驗(yàn)。這意味著，即使你累了，也要下床，參加一個(gè)你可能不感興趣的課程，并且仍然盡力而為。在完成家庭作業(yè)時(shí)，有可能去打籃球會(huì)更有趣。這是一個(gè)必須認(rèn)真對(duì)待的旅程，但不要太較勁，以至于你永遠(yuǎn)無(wú)法享受一些風(fēng)景!

我們的12年級(jí)學(xué)生和8年級(jí)學(xué)生都必須準(zhǔn)備好學(xué)習(xí)、自我激勵(lì)、幫助他人，并為自己的行為負(fù)責(zé)。你們所有人現(xiàn)在都已經(jīng)長(zhǎng)大了，并且希望能夠明智地理解上述陳述的重要性。正如Vernon Law所引述的那樣：“經(jīng)驗(yàn)是一位很難的老師，因?yàn)橄茸隽藴y(cè)試，然后是經(jīng)驗(yàn)教訓(xùn)。不要再次陷入毫無(wú)準(zhǔn)備的陷阱。”很多人會(huì)告訴你不要擔(dān)心，事情會(huì)變好的，請(qǐng)不要遵循這個(gè)建議，運(yùn)氣好的日子很罕見(jiàn)。獲得成功和偉大的最有把握的方法是做好準(zhǔn)備，努力工作，讓事情發(fā)生。我會(huì)告訴你，有三種不同類(lèi)型的人：那些讓事情發(fā)生的人，那些觀察事物的人，以及那些想知道發(fā)生了什么的人。認(rèn)真對(duì)待這個(gè)建議，成為讓事情發(fā)生的人。請(qǐng)記住，在標(biāo)有“額外英里”的道路上很少有交通堵塞;原因是大多數(shù)人根本不去那里旅行。在其他人休息的同時(shí)工作會(huì)讓你更接近那條孤獨(dú)的道路，標(biāo)題為“額外的一英里”。

史上最偉大的拳擊手之一穆罕默德·阿里曾被問(wèn)到“你每天做多少次仰臥起坐?”他的回答是“我不知道我做了多少，因?yàn)槲覜](méi)有計(jì)算，直到受傷為止?！边@一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的句子說(shuō)明了一切。這是一種永不言敗的態(tài)度。那個(gè)愿意每天都把自己全都奉獻(xiàn)給最好的人將成為最偉大的人!

今天在座的各位，你們可以稱之為普通人。但是請(qǐng)向你左邊的人看，然后向右看，然后看看你自己，問(wèn)我們哪一個(gè)人將成為普通人海洋中的特殊人物?

約翰·肯尼迪總統(tǒng)1962年關(guān)于太空探索的演講中，他說(shuō)：“我們選擇在這十年里去月球做其他事情，不是因?yàn)樗鼈兒苋菀?，而是因?yàn)樗鼈兒茈y。因?yàn)檫@個(gè)目標(biāo)將有助于組織和衡量我們最好的能量和技能，因?yàn)檫@個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)是我們?cè)敢饨邮艿奶魬?zhàn)，我們不愿意推遲，我們打算贏得挑戰(zhàn)?！?/span>

最后，祝你好運(yùn)!也許運(yùn)氣不會(huì)讓你一帆風(fēng)順，所以你必須要盡力而為。并記住在黎明之前是最黑暗的，因此它是最不確定和最不清晰以及最可怕的時(shí)刻。當(dāng)你準(zhǔn)備放棄的時(shí)刻，那是你永遠(yuǎn)不能放棄的時(shí)刻，因?yàn)槟鞘浅晒Ρ澈蟮淖詈髸r(shí)刻。請(qǐng)記住，簡(jiǎn)單的方法和正確的方法很少相同。面對(duì)簡(jiǎn)單的事情，做正確的事情并不容易。但是，當(dāng)你在一個(gè)你認(rèn)為不可能的領(lǐng)域取得成功時(shí)，最大的回報(bào)和滿足感在等待著你!

謝謝大家!
