"Morality, determination and action" To write a new chapter of brilliant youth of Beijing Institute of Technology

-- Speech by President Jiang LAN at the opening Ceremony of the school in 2024

Dear Teachers and students,

Good morning!

Today, our school for the first time to connect Liangxiang, Zhongguancun, Zhuhai three campuses held a grand opening ceremony。3947 undergraduate students, 8125 graduate students and 944 international students have officially become "BEili workers", and this glorious identity will accompany students for a lifetime。On behalf of Academician Zhang Jun, Secretary of the Party Committee of the University, and the teachers, students and staff of the university, I would like to extend the warmest welcome and the most heartfelt wishes to you!I would like to share three suggestions with the new students。

First, establish the foundation of life

习近平总书记指出，人无德不立，育人的根本在于立德。Confucius said, "The will is in the way, according to the virtue, according to the benevolence.。”

Strengthen moral education, both personal morality, but also social ethics, love of the motherland and the people's great virtues。Steady repair of moral character is the basis for becoming a person with great love and great feelings, and we should start from doing small things and managing small sections。Why is character education so important？The longest running, most comprehensive, and most expensive psychological and sociological experiment of all time, the Harvard Grant Study, provides scientific evidence。The 75-year study, which tracked the lives of 268 Harvard undergraduates and 456 underprivileged teenagers, revealed that caring is the most important factor in happiness, rather than wealth, fame, status or power。

Numerous studies in positive psychology have repeatedly demonstrated that giving love can significantly increase happiness。These latest important research results coincide with the traditional Chinese culture, such as the Han Dynasty "New book" said, "love to love back, happy to return," and as Guan Zhong said, "good people, people are also good.。”

Einstein said, "The undying aim of school should be that the student leaves school a harmonious person.。Harvard University's "whole-person education", Princeton University's "Serving the country, serving the world", Tsinghua University's "moral commitment" and our school's "virtue and wisdom" all reflect such ideas and pursuits。

Love contains kindness and mercy, gratitude and peace;It means tolerance and understanding, integrity and courage.Embodies responsibility and responsibility, selflessness and dedication。I hope you will continue to enhance your love in the days of Beijing Institute of Technology. Please think of one thing to be grateful for every day;Please call your parents every week;Please care and help students every month;Please participate in public welfare activities every semester。

I am convinced that the small daily good, the great good, can shape your character and lay the foundation of your happiness!

Two, determined to set the life beacon

习近平总书记指出，青年志存高远，就能激发奋进潜力，青春岁月就不会像无舵之舟漂泊不定，并引用王阳明的话“立志而圣则圣矣，立志而贤则贤矣”。

A famous Harvard survey found that 27 percent of those who had no goals when they were young were generally poor 25 years later;60 percent had vague goals when they were young and were generally mediocre 25 years later.Young people with short-term goals accounted for 10%, 25 years after the overall smooth;Three percent had long-term goals at a young age, and overall excellence 25 years later。Neuroscience has found that the brain is very plastic, and that ambition can change the brain's default mode network, and people who pursue ambition for a long time have more activity in the prefrontal cortex and stronger neuronal connections。In addition, whenever you accomplish a small goal, your brain releases dopamine, giving you a sense of accomplishment。Therefore, ambition is the starting point of success, and stage small goals are the path to success。Down-to-earth aspirants will have smarter decisions, more quiet focus, more stable emotions, and more pleasant moods。

Generations of BEili workers are committed to the importance of the country, rooted in daily scientific research, and integrate their individual daily efforts into the vast river of history，例如，Our school alumni Peng Shilu, "Father of China's nuclear submarine", Wang Xiaomo, "Father of China's early warning aircraft", Dao Yingxian, "China's gun King", Xie Guangxuan, chief designer of Long March 3 launch vehicle, and so on。

I am convinced that setting up the ambition of life and constantly breaking through the goals of the stage can sublimate your realm and stabilize your bright beacon!

Third, set the life motivation

习近平总书记指出“幸福都是奋斗出来的。Keynes said, "Habits form character, and character determines destiny.。"Xun Zi" cloud "accumulation into practice, accumulation of habits, accumulation of life。”

Nobel Prize-winning neuroscientist David Kandel has found that good habits can enhance neuroplasticity and make the brain smarter and smarter。Social psychology research has found that about 66 days of persistence can reshape brain circuits to form a new habit。Four years of college, about 720 days in school, if you can develop four good habits, can greatly change your life, for example, the habit of reading, the habit of regular exercise, the habit of gratitude, the habit of active communication and so on。If you make a small 1% progress every day, after 720 days of continuous improvement, you will grow 1,292 times。The cycle driven by habit makes our thinking more acute and our character more noble, such as a trickle into the river of growth and maturity。As Bacon said, habit is really a tenacious and huge power, can dominate life。

Develop good habits and be sure to overcome procrastination。According to Hermann's law, published in Nature magazine, the output of scientific research is proportional to the number of times the effective time of research input is 1,000 times, and the inverse proportion is the number of times the delay time of data analysis is 1,000 times。

I firmly believe that adhering to long-term persistence and cultivating good habits can reshape your character and build the cornerstone of your growth!

Students, I hope you have a "great country" in your heart, meditate in virtue, concentrate on learning, perseverance into action, "morality, determination, and action" to write a new chapter of youth and no regrets in Beitech!Grow into a leading leader with "ambitious mind, Mingde Seiko, innovation and inclusiveness, and responsibility of The Times"。不辜负习近平总书记的重托“让青春在为祖国、为民族、为人民、为人类的不懈奋斗中绽放绚丽之花！”

Thank you all!
