How to spend four years in college? University leaders teach "the first lesson of school"

  Zhejiang Online September 20th (Zhejiang Online reporter Ma Yue Shi Tianxing correspondent Duan Yu)In the past week, the major universities in our province have welcomed the freshmen of 2018 with the post-00 generation as the main body. For young people who have just entered the university, it is essential for secretaries and principals to be affectionate and full of caring messages and encouragement. It can be said that the opening speech of university leaders is the "first lesson" of university career, which has a far-reaching impact on the growth of college students.

  In the opening season of the university, the reporter walked into many colleges and universities in our province and felt the wonderful "first lesson" — — Some leaders talk about autonomous learning and "take the pulse" of college students’ ivory tower life; Some chatted with students about the significance of reading and encouraged young people to cherish the youth … … How to be the best yourself in college, how to increase your knowledge and ability, and listen to these good words, maybe you will be suddenly enlightened.

  What is a decryption university?

  "High school tries hard to get into the university, and it will be easy when you get to the university." I believe many people are familiar with this sentence. As long as they are admitted to the university, they can basically graduate on time, which makes it easy for students who have just been released from the pressure of college entrance examination to get lost and lose motivation.

  Do you really know the university? Many college leaders told young students in the "first lesson" that getting into college is by no means the end. Stepping into the university gate means opening a new stage of life.

  Education is not to instill in the mind, but to ignite the heart. Wu Zhaohui, the president of Zhejiang University, quoted Socrates, an ancient Greek philosopher, to guide students to understand "University": "University life is to ignite your constant quest, let your enthusiasm and interest follow your study, and lead you to open a wonderful and vast world."

  In the eyes of Chen Shoucan, president of Zhejiang Gongshang University, universities are places where critical thinking is obtained. What universities need is diligence under the guidance of the spirit of seeking truth and innovation, rather than Nuo Nuo’s repetition, imitation of others’ opinions and even plagiarism for quick success and instant benefit. He said that the university classroom will no longer encounter certain knowledge points, but will only see different theories that appear gradually or simultaneously in the academic history system. Only by clearly understanding the structure and boundary of the old things can we have the vision and materials to create new things.

  But do you have enough courage and intelligence to explore? "This kind of courage and intelligence will only bear fruit in society if it is cultivated in universities." Chen Shoucan said that the university is a melting pot of character. Only those graduates with broad vision and strong will will see the limitations of the Red Sea in future industry practice and find the blue ocean with rich opportunities.

  Universities are open, and we need courage to explore the boundaries of the world. As a senior who entered the university in 1978, Jiang Guojun, secretary of the Party Committee of Zhejiang Normal University, looked at the young people who entered the school 40 years later and felt deeply. "In Zhejiang Normal University, it is open, equal and diverse to give students the opportunity to grow freely." He said that unlimited life is possible. I hope that more Zhejiang teachers will try their best to break the boundaries of knowledge, ability and thinking with wisdom and courage, and strive to break through and surpass themselves.

  Discuss why you go to college.

  "Why are we here?" This is a question from Wang Xingjie, secretary of the Party Committee of Hangzhou Dianzi University, at the opening ceremony of freshmen. Besides being a city of Hangzhou, being a specialty of Hangzhou Electric, getting a good job in the future and having a high starting salary, is there any other higher pursuit?

  Wang Xingjie gave young educator Suhomlinski’s famous saying, "A person who really loves the motherland is a real person in all aspects". He hopes that students who enter Hangdian should cherish a feeling of home and country. "Hangdian cultivates not only utilitarians who pay attention to house tickets, but also bookworms who only bury themselves in their own small world, and even less Buddhist youths who muddle along, but ‘ Be loyal to your home country, take on great responsibilities, look at the world and strive for self-improvement ’ A promising person. "

  In the "first lesson", Song Mingshun, president of China Jiliang University, assigned the first homework problem to the freshmen, which may take four years to complete — — Understand what "measurement" is. Behind the word "measurement", there are not only scientific mysteries, but also the ideological connotation of "fairness, justice, honesty and trustworthiness" of "measuring everything, measuring heaven and earth". He hopes that young students will remember the school motto — — Think carefully about the national economy and measure people’s livelihood.

  Fang Jianqiao, president of Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, used the phrase "to be a college student". Temperament ’ Zhejiang Chinese medicine adults "to interpret. He hopes that his classmates will have "five spirits" — — Always be energetic, full of spirit, open-minded, solid, and healthy.

  Fang Jianqiao is a master of acupuncture and moxibustion. He taught the freshmen earnestly and never forgot Chinese medicine. He said that Chinese medicine believes that qi refers to the human body’s ability to defend, resist and regenerate diseases, and that healthy qi should be kept inside, and evil should not be done. If one person has righteousness, then all poisons will not invade; Everyone has righteousness, and the nation is prosperous.

  "I hope you will be solid." Fang Jianqiao said that confidence is a person’s popularity, talent and heroism. Whether a person’s career is successful or not depends on whether your confidence is hard or not. Therefore, being a man needs to be emboldened, and officers need to be emboldened. Whether you have confidence or not depends on whether you have worked hard, worked hard and worked hard.

  Instruct universities how to read.

  Stepping into the university gate means that everyone has opened a new stage of life. However, freshmen have just left the high-pressure state of the college entrance examination. How should they face the self-study and self-management of university study and life?

  Wu Zhaohui, president of Zhejiang University, said that when entering the university, freshmen should first look at themselves, find their inner passion and creativity, get rid of the dependence of traditional learning paths, and turn from "passive learning" to "autonomous learning" to become a college student who loves learning, can learn and can learn.

  In Wu Zhaohui’s view, as an effective way to improve oneself, autonomous learning awakens curiosity and imagination, guides learners to have a deep dialogue with themselves, learns self-cognition, self-management, self-motivation and self-education, and makes learning a happy process of acquiring knowledge, improving ability, cultivating quality and shaping personality. This is exactly in line with the education system of Zhejiang University, which points to the inherent development needs of learners and advocates "knowledge — Ability — Quality — Personality "four in one" emphasizes innovative learning.

  "Conscious, is self-awakening, active. Only consciously can we better know ourselves, reflect on ourselves, be self-sustaining, self-disciplined, self-reliant and self-reliant! " Li Xiaonian, president of Zhejiang University of Technology, told the freshmen at the opening ceremony. In today’s world, the scientific and technological revolution is advancing by leaps and bounds, and social development is changing with each passing day. Only by persistently studying, accumulating generous knowledge and practicing excellent skills can we keep up with the pace of the times. He expects young students to draw nutrition from "books with words" and gain energy from "books without words".

  How should universities spend their time? Xue Weihai, secretary of the Party Committee of Ningbo University, told young people that studying in university should be "a long way to go" and always take the improvement of ability as the capital for personal lifelong use. On the basis of mastering knowledge, students should be good at mastering knowledge, that is, they can flexibly acquire knowledge, combine knowledge and even create knowledge according to different problem situations. Students can form strong expressive ability, critical ability, innovative and entrepreneurial ability and lifelong learning ability through systematic training in universities.
