When you walk on the lush greenery of the campus and walk in the old buildings with old names, you will have a feeling that this is an university of deep cultural heritages and is continue to develop into a stronger one. Your “alma mater” will accompany you to enjoy the mountains and rivers, watching the moon moonlight in the next four years and a lifetime. At the beginning of your college life, as a member of Harbin University of Science and Technology , we sincerely want you to think about how to grasp the new starting point of your life.
First, to be a person who is prepared for everything. University is a new beginning, you need to know about your university through a variety of channels, cultivate your ability of independent thinking, assertive, hard-working as college students. You also need to have a positive attitude and try to systematically understand the school profile, professional introduction, school characteristics, school mode, development process, community activities, etc.. To understand your school is to understand yourself. Your understanding of your profession is of vital importance to your future development.
Second, to be a person who is able to make plans. Having a good plan for your four years of college life and making full use of school resources and establishing your own platform. Time completely belongs to yourself, especially belongs to those freshmen, so take advantage of leisure time to make plan for the future development or for becoming more directional. You can choose to take part in exams of civil servants , graduates, or join the communist party, obtain all kinds of certificates and even start your self-entrepreneurship and so on. You must have your own goals and directions. This will guide you to live a better life.
Third, to be a person who is interested in things. Try to form a good habit of learning and living and spend more time with roommates, classmates in order to create a harmonious campus environment. University is a circle, only if you learn to communicate you will be able to integrate into it. University is a family, only if you learn to develop good habits, you will be able to enjoy harmonious coexistence and common growth. You also need to cultivate hobbies, join communities and exercise the ability to work with others and learn to share and communicate. Interest is the best teacher. In the next four years, you need to develop your own interests and hobbies, join your favorite communities. You can also choose to compete for class managers, it not only improves your work ability but also exercises your personality. College life with interests is nothing but a pool of stagnant water. You need to learn more from the senior students and share your interests and hobbies with them. There is always going to be a group of your own in the four years of college life. Try to love this atmosphere because this is your university.
Fourth, to be a person who obeys the rule. Learn to be familiar with school rules and regulations and work processes as an attempt to be a qualified college student. As a college student of the new era, you should comply with school regulations thus you will grow in a sound environment. After entering school, learn from counselor about the school's work processes such as national loans for freshmen and processes to join the party and transfer membership, etc.. Only when you finish things by yourself can you gain experience from practice.
Fifth, to be a person who carries faith. In modern China, we are struggling to achieve the goal of “two hundred years”. This is a multiples time of interests, choices and values. What hides behind today's materialistic and spiritual tangled world is the most profound question of belief. As one of the world's second largest economy, how to stick to the highlands of soul? As a nation with thousand years of poetry and etiquette, how to safeguard the spiritual home in the trend of modernization? As a person who is struggling for the happy life, how to give the soul a corner to relax? If we let the material floods run through the soul, it will make us forget about the sky, the inner heart, the pursuit of the spirit and the quality of the soul. It won’t be a pleasure for the community or individuals. Facing the new starting point, we really need to re - understand our world and sort out our future. In the process of national prosperity and rejuvenation, people's well-being and social harmony, the meaning of youth is not just as simple as to be the witness, but to be the witness, the participants and the beneficiaries. Youth is to struggle, faith is especially needed, as well as our love for family and nation, personal ideals in the time of doubt. The mission of youth to is to define the value, undertake responsibility and enrich the connotation of youth in order to write glory and create a time of youth.
Sixth, to be a person who dares to be persistent. “Difficulties origins from simple cases, big affairs will be achieved by carefulness”. The path ahead may be smooth or may be full of thorns. However, you should believe that every failure is a try, never be discouraged; every setback is a exercise, never be frightened; every hardship is a wealth, never waste it. Be bright to people, be rational to things, be strong in physics and be mature in mind. You are true people of Harbin University of Science and Technology, you are the one who is fearless of the wind and waves and keep marching forward! Learn to seek the truth from study, to feel your true self from being independent, to cherish the time from planing, to exercise expression from communication, to taste happiness from interests, to gain power from pursuing. Harbin University of Science and Technology will always be our unswerving heritage and warmest shelter.
Dear students, from the moment when we step into the campus, Harbin University of Science and Technology will run through our youth and even our lifetime, it is the starting point of our dream. The path ahead is long and distant, let us work together to do be a member who will never end up self-improving. Let our dreams fly and embrace challenges bravely to feel the glory of knowledge and life and lighten the days of youth with endless hard-working. To write the new chapter of the Harbin University of Science and Technology with heritages and to safeguard the Chinese dream by adhering to our faith.
“As people are willing to sacrifice for dreams, we dare to make changes of sun and the moon for a new world.” Finally, I wish you to show yourself on this big stage and let your ideas fly bravely toward your dreams!
