How do we work together to be on the right side of history together? More than 50 years ago, Hu Shi, one of your great political thinkers and a teacher at this university, said these words: “Now some people say to me you must sacrifice your individual freedom so that the nation may be I reply, the struggle for individual freedom is the struggle for the nation39。s struggle for your own character is the struggle for the nation39。s character.”We Americans believe Hu Shi was believe and our experience demonstrates that freedom strengthens stability and helps nations to of our founding fathers, Benjamin Franklin, once said, “Our critics are our friends, for they show us our faults.” Now, if that is true, there are many days in the United States when the President has more friends than anyone else in America.(Laughter.)But it is the world we live in, this global information age, constant improvement and change is necessary to economic opportunity and to national , the freest possible flow of information, ideas, and opinions, and a greater respect for divergent political and religious convictions will actually breed strength and stability going is, therefore, profoundly in your interest, and the world39。s, that young Chinese minds be free to reach the fullness of their is the message of our time and the mandate of the new century and the new hope China will more fully embrace this all the grandeur of your history, I believe your greatest days are still great odds in the 20th century China has not only survived, it is moving forward ancient cultures failed because they failed to has constantly proven the capacity to change and , you must reimagine China again for a new century, and your generation must be at the heart of China39。s new century is upon our sights are turned toward the your country has known more millennia than the United States has known , however, China is as young as any nation on new century can be the dawn of a new China, proud of your ancient greatness, proud of what you are doing, prouder still of the tomorrows to can be a time when the world again looks to China for the vigor of its culture, the freshness of its thinking, the elevation of human dignity that is apparent in its can be a time when the oldest of nations helps to make a new United States wants to work with you to make that time a you very much.(Applause.)第五篇：2017北大校長畢業(yè)演講全文 吃虧是福北大校長畢業(yè)演講全文幾天前，有位同學給我寫信，希望我講一講自己的生活體會。所以今年的畢業(yè)致辭，我就與大家分享兩個小故事。（第一個故事）我的母親像她那個年代的大多數(shù)人一樣，并沒有讀過很多書，也沒有上過學，從小，我常常聽到她講一句話，吃虧就是占便宜，這句話影響了我大半輩子。這不是說為了占便宜而去吃虧，也不是說你吃了虧就一定能占便宜，這是一種人生哲學和價值觀。小的時候，我把它作為懦弱的借口，盡量避免沖突；再大一些的時候，我把它當作面對失敗的理由，少了一些懊悔與內(nèi)疚；成年以后，我把它當作遠離名利的信念，保持了內(nèi)心的安寧。在中學畢業(yè)后，我曾在一個農(nóng)場工作了5年，一次場里推薦工農(nóng)兵大學生去一個師范學院讀書，農(nóng)場里很多人都推薦了我，當時我可以說是信心滿滿；但不久就得知最終推薦的是另外一個人，我據(jù)理力爭但還是沒有改變（情況），大家可以想象當時我的心情（是怎樣的），我用了很久才使自己平靜下來。在很多年以后，當我讀到尼泊爾祈禱文中的一段話的時候，我還能想起那些不眠之夜，文中說，請給我平靜，去接受我無法改變的；給予我勇氣，去改變我能夠改變的；請賜我智慧，去分辨這二者（的區(qū)別）。我們每一個人都會遇到自己內(nèi)心難以接受的事情，如何始終保持健康平和的心態(tài)，這真是需要很大勇氣和智慧的，需要我們?nèi)ンw驗、去感悟、去歷練。世間的事情有時很奇妙，當我以和平的心態(tài)去面對現(xiàn)實，保持樂觀向上，生命中竟然得到了意外的驚喜。我沒有能夠到那所師范學院學習，卻幸運地趕上了第二年高考，考上了北京大學。（全場掌聲~北大童鞋們很會捧場嘛）價值觀是一個很有趣的事情，看不見摸不著，卻隨時在影響我們的行為，特別是當你要做出重要抉擇的時候，內(nèi)心深處的價值觀就會被喚起，反過來也一樣，我們也可以根據(jù)人們的行為去看他的價值觀。我再講一個我在美國留學時的事情。有一天，導師把一個工具箱帶到實驗室交給我，他說這個（工具箱）是用他自己的錢買的，我當時很奇怪，問他為什么不用科研經(jīng)費買，他說，這些工具在實驗室和家里都能用，用科研經(jīng)費購買需要寫報告，很麻煩，還不如自己花錢買方便，反正也不貴。他吃虧了嘛？也許是。但是，在制度的灰色地帶，他避免了可能的猜疑，也使大家更加了解他的為人和價值觀——這是一個靠譜的人，值得信賴。我們也常常會遇到另外一種人，見利忘義，投機鉆研，甚至不惜違規(guī)違法，他們或許能夠得到他們所追逐的利益，占到便宜，但是這些都不能長久。在利益面前人們難免怦然心動，追逐個人的利益和成功是正常的，無可厚非，但我們一定要按照制度和規(guī)矩做人做事，在正當權(quán)益與唯利是圖的界限比較模糊的時候，寧可自己吃些虧，也不要為了一時的便宜喪失了對原則和底線的堅守。人生就像是一場沒有裁判的馬拉松，自我約束和耐久性比一時的速度更加重要，就像歌詞里的：每一步，都算數(shù)。人們的價值判斷和行為方式很容易受到外界影響，法律制度健全，社會風氣好，犯錯的成本比較高，人們遵紀守法的意識就比較強；當社會風氣不健全時，人們的心態(tài)就會受到很大影響。一些人看到別人做壞事，沒有受到懲罰，反而得到利益，就會隨波逐流，久而久之，不良社會風氣就會像瘟疫一樣蔓延開來。近年來，中央提出從嚴治黨的方針，從小事抓起，正黨風，樹正氣，社會風氣和政治生態(tài)正在逐步轉(zhuǎn)變。從另一方面看，從根本上改善社會環(huán)境，還需要我們每個人的不懈堅守和坦然淡定，因為善與惡的分界線，不在社會，
