nd gentlemen, I would like to share with you my opinions on this topic, and tell you the secret of how to bee rich. We can bee rich by giving. But everybody may not accept my ideas in this way. Some of them may think we bee poor by giving.But ladies and gentlemen, we should all know that even though everyone of us live a different life, every one of us are bound to go from point A to point B. So what is point A? Point A is the cradle, and point B is the grave. I do believe that living in this world we’ll only need adequate food and a descent bed to sleep. That is what we really need to live a really fortable life. We don’t need so much money. What use? Remember the great philosopher of Doagenes, the father of cynicism. He told us that worldly possessions would not make us rich but make us fall into the constant worry of losing them. Ladies and gentlemen, Francis Bacon told us, “If money not be our servant, it will be our master.” So, giving will not make us poor, but having much money and to be a millionaire sometimes is not the real sense of being rich.And secondly we can bee rich by giving. Just how? We have to talk about what is really important in one’s life. As I believe personal friendships and also experience are important in one’s life. I believe friendship is like a seed. You first put them in a nurturing soil so that it can grow and it takes time and watering and devotion to wait the seed to grow into a splendid sheltering prime. And we have to devote to our friendship so that we know our friends better. When we are joyful, when we succeed, we can share our success and our joy with our friens. Those joys will be multiplied and bee more joys. How rich you are! And also personal experiences are very important to make one rich. We can bee rich in this way by giving. Thomas Edison has invented thousands of great inventions in this world, greatly accelerating the human history and civilization. How much and how many has he given us? He never became poor. His great experience has enriched his life as well as mankind’s livesLadies and gentlemen, I want to say one sentence and quoted Hemingway once said. “Kindness is a hard thing to give away. It always returns to the giver.” Let us hold this notion and this faith in our heart, and you will all bee millionaires and billionaires.Thank you!Cartoon PictureWe are looking for a few good people to teach our kids here! Do any of you have a teaching certificate? Wang Jing (半決賽3分鐘)Well, this picture is really thoughtprovoking, and this makes me think about two questions: what is the real certificate for a good teacher? And in our society, what kind of teachers do we need?Well, as for the first point, I want to define a good teacher in my mind. I think a good teacher should be, first and foremost, a good thinker. You see, William Shakespeare, Abraham Lincoln and Benjamin Franklin are standing in the crowd. They don’t have a teaching certificate, but with their independent thinking, as well as great virtue, they are influencing the world continuously. Abraham Lincoln, with his emancipation and proclamation, has taught the world to respect each other despite that you have different skin color, eye color and different nationalities. And also, Benjamin Franklin has kept telling us we need to be strong and selfdependent. These are great thinkers and these are great teachers.And secondly, a good teacher should be a teacher with deep love for others. Mother Teresa, as you see in the middle of the crowd, as well as Jesus Christ and also Annie Sullivan, I think she is maybe behind the crowd. They are all people continuously supporting others with their deep love. Mother Teresa fifty years ago has set up a campaign to help those people suffering from HIV/AIDS. And the former president of France, Jacques Chirac, could best conclude her life in her funeral. He said some words like this, “Tonight, there’s less light, less love and less passion in this world.” These are the people with deep love and continuously supporting others. They set a moral model for every one of us, teaching us to love each other and also make the world more harmonious. So these are the best teachers in my eyes. However, in today’s society, especially in today’s universities, we pay too much attention to people’s career and also people’s career skills instead of looking at the expression, and the emotion in the heart of human be
