Chapter 301: Ninety-Year-Old Superman's Speech!
Although Li Ka-shing is old and the old man speaks very slowly, he still has a lot of strength, he raised his head from time to time and glanced at everyone with a smile, and then looked at the manuscript and continued.
"My mother had just lost her husband that year, and the fortune teller's words made her very sad, and my mother put aside the disappointment, comforted and encouraged me, saying, Ah Cheng, the destiny is hard to calculate, God will be kind to people who work hard, no matter how difficult it is, as long as the family depends on each other, it will be good.
Of course I believe in my mother, but I believe in myself even more, I ask my mother to rest assured, I believe in my heart that only the future created by my own hands is the only destiny that can be trusted.
At that time, our family lived in the war period, my father died of illness, and the tragedy of the trio of poverty, looking up at the white clouds, the prospect was gloomy, looking up to the sky, people were as confused as the wind shadow, and the Quartet did not respond, my only belief is to build a better self in order to build a better future.
In my eyes, the future and tomorrow are two different things, destiny and destiny are different, tomorrow is just a new day, and the future self in the life of various accidents, the result of continuous choice, the pursuit of self, and strive to improve the self is a positive driving force.
When you compose thinking, imagination and action into music, practice yourself in the infinite opportunities of technology, humanities, and business, and integrate knowledge, responsibility, and goals into wisdom, destiny is not necessarily a blueprint for destiny.
You have successfully pursued yourself, and your future is bright, what is your next stage of pursuit, your value orientation, and what are your ideals? What are we living for?
Thousands of people in the world are still living in the valley of despair of misery, loneliness, poverty and illness today, and it is not our obligation to assume social responsibility, which is the meaning of my establishment of Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, not only to cultivate future entrepreneurs, but also to cultivate responsible entrepreneurs.
I think the greatest sorrow of human beings is boredom, suffering from indifferent apathy, putting on the shackles of pretentiousness, controlling huge social resources and opportunities in high positions of profession, industry and power, but losing their self-centeredness, which indulges in the past and stays in the present, and those who turn a blind eye to social problems and are indifferent to the excuse king, must be spurned and eliminated by society.
Capable people, to seek happiness for mankind, this is the task, there are many creative, aspiring people and groups in history, work together, in the pursuit of selflessness, to promote social reform and progress, there is a measurable, eternal value between heaven and earth, only people with a sense of mission can enjoy, this is not a secret, unfortunately, three-year-old children know things, not everyone can do.
Looking back on the past, life is like a dream, my ninety years have passed in a hurry, and the young man who is despised by his fellow villagers, thin and godless, has been building himself with hard work and self-confidence, and pursuing selflessness.
Dear students, you live in the era of opportunities, in this land full of opportunities, I am convinced that your achievements must be higher, better, energy must be greater than me, we are not necessarily heroes to save the world, but we are careful to keep the right knowledge, right action, righteous thoughts, should be able to respond to the society loudly, we have never been unkind and unjust in our lives, not good and unjust, I look forward to establishing and watching the future for the next generation.
This is the commitment of every student of Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, and I hope that the elites of the Business School of Xia Shi University will bring this concept back to Xia Shi University, and bring it to every entrepreneur we know, so that we can work together to shape a better world, so that future generations can be dignified, free and happy, and live the wonderful life of our nation.
Outstanding students and a strong alumni network have always been the precious wealth of CKGSB, and CKGSB hopes that every student who recognizes it will not only be a creator of material wealth, but also have the ambition and mind of "establishing a heart for heaven and earth, establishing a life for the people, continuing to learn for the saints, and opening peace for the world".
Li Chaoren's speech won the applause of everyone present, and the humanistic spirit of Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business has always been adhering to the spirit of Li Chaoren and is well-known at home and abroad.
In fact, Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business is a non-profit educational institution funded by the Li Ka Shing Foundation. Since its establishment, it has been committed to "cultivating a group of world-class entrepreneurs for Chinese enterprises" and is committed to creating a new generation of global business schools.
Over the past 30 years of reform and opening up, China has made remarkable achievements. In today's era of global economic integration, China's economy needs a group of business leaders with a global vision, a sense of social responsibility and humanistic care.
The soul of the school is its full-time, world-class faculty membership. The biggest weakness of Asia Business School is the lack of its own world-class professors, but with the advanced system of "professors governing the school", the strong support of governments at all levels and the Li Ka Shing Foundation, and the rise of China's economy, Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business has successfully gathered a team of full-time world-class professors, mainly Chinese.
Changjiang has more than 30 resident professors and scholars, and has taught at the University of Chicago, Stanford University, University of Pennsylvania, University of California, Berkeley, University of California, Los Angeles, Columbia University, Cornell University, Carnegie Mellon University, Northwestern University, University of California, San Diego, Yale University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New York University, Darden School of Business, University of Texas at Austin, North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of Rochester, University of Washington, Princeton University, University of Minnesota, INSEAD and other business schools in Europe, the United States and Asia.
The overall strength of this faculty lineup is unique not only in China, but also rare in the entire Asia-Pacific region. Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business is probably the only business school in Asia to hire its own group of full-time professors from the existing faculty of the world's top business schools.
The development of MBA, MBA in Finance, EMBA and Executive Education is based on the needs of students, combined with the actual business environment in China, and draws on the curriculum of world-renowned business schools.
The cases used in the teaching include typical cases of mature companies in the West and cases of domestic enterprises developed by Yangtze River, which are highly practical and pertinent to students and enterprises.
It has basically become the common choice of China's top entrepreneurs, such as Fu Chengyu of CNOOC, Guo Guangchang of Fosun Group, Shi Yuzhu of Giant Group, Jack Ma of Alibaba, Jiang Nanchun of Focus Media, etc.
Since Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business is so good!
So why didn't Ximing choose Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business in the first place, but Xia Shi Business School?
