长者寄语 [attach]4992[/attach]
~His strengths as a leader were embedded in the qualities we hope to have instilled in each of you -- an open-mindedness to new evidence that allows for the possibility that your original impressions were wrong, coupled with the courage to say so out loud; the habit of listening to and learning from the views of others, particularly those with whom you deeply disagree; the capacity to speak the truth as you understand it; a willingness to hold your ground against fierce opposition; a deep respect for learning as opposed to uninformed opinion; and the strength that grows out of humility and compassion for human shortcomings
~You learn things from listening to everyone around you and openly exchanging ideas. It’s amazing how conversation opens doors.
学会倾听，生活就会为你敞开另一扇大门
It’s important to leave the biggest positive impact you possibly can.
留下对世界对社会你的贡献
