Recently, I felt much honoured to attend a program of the “Global Inclusive Leadership: from Success to Significance”. I thought it was a program of great importance. There were six international friends who were either foreigners or overseas Chinese. They came from different parts of the world and were all very successful in their own fields.
Each took part and made a speech in turn. Some of these speeches were full of excitement and passion, and some were deeply moving. In all, as the old saying goes, 'I learn more from listening to what you have to say during one conversation than from reading books for ten years’. Here are my thoughts and my understanding of these speeches.
Firstly, my thoughts on making choices. Making choices was the topic of the overseas Chinese lady’s speech. She inspired us by telling us her life story. As she said, “Life is as short as that of a mayfly.” During our short life, everyone must make lots of decisions regardless of the consequences. But please do persevere because no one can make the right decision every time, so be brave and move on.
Secondly, my thoughts on misfortune. Misfortune might be a blessing in disguise. This topic is the summary of what I have learned from director Da Dao Liu. No sooner had he started his speech than I thought he was just like the legendary frontiersman Sai Weng who lost his horse. What he wanted to tell us is that life is full of chances and miracles. Stick to your dreams and keep trying. Do not complain about minor setbacks which may surprise you with hidden blessings.
Thirdly, my thoughts on love. Love can be inclusive of everything. It is the source of power. There are five circles of love: education, friends, work, family and health. In her opinion, these five circles are equally important. They can be put together and made into one thing: love. Everything comes from love. After I thought about it over and over again, I came to the conclusion that she was right. We have been struggling and fighting for different kinds of love. Love is like a circle which is endless. We can draw endless power from love. So let us place love first in the roads ahead.
Those are my thoughts.

最近，很荣幸聆听了一场演讲会。而这场演讲会意义非凡。这是由6位国际友人进行演讲的。这六位来自于世界各地，有华侨，外籍人士。他们都是各个领域的成功人士，演讲过程中，6位轮番上阵，或激情昂扬，或抑扬顿挫，或感人肺腑。。。。。。总之，应了那句话：听君一席话，胜读十年书。这也有了我对此次演讲的思辨与感悟。思辨一：抉择。“抉择”是一位华侨女士的演讲主题。她通过讲述自己的人生故事来启迪我们。如其所言：人之一生堪比蜉蝣的一生。但在这何其短暂的时间里，每个人却要做出许多抉择。无论这些抉择的后果是什么，但请坚持下去。因为没有人每一次都能做出正确的选。所以，大胆地向前走吧！思辨二：塞翁失马焉知非福。这个主题是我自己归纳刘大刀导演的演讲而得。他一演讲，我就觉得太像塞翁了！我认为刘导想要向向我们传达的是：人生到处都是机遇甚至是奇迹！只要怀揣着梦想，并始终如一的前进，不断地去尝试。同时，不要抱怨某些不如意，有可能在这后面隐藏的是惊喜！思辨三：爱可包容万物，为动力之源泉。这位华侨女士讲了人生当中的五宝：教育，朋友，工作，家庭，健康。在她看来，五种同等重要的东西可以合为一体，那就是爱。一切的一切皆应“爱”而缘起。思之再三，深以为然。为了各种各样的爱，我们为之奋斗。如其言：爱如圆圈，无始无终，永无止境，人可以从爱中汲取无穷无尽的力量！所以，在前行的路上，以“爱”为先。这就是我的三点思辨.
