Journal of 2003: An incomplete collection
[I must have been overwhelmed with mixed emotions those days.] more to come
[September 1] This morning the New Term Ceremony for Postgraduates 2003 was held in the Grand Hall.
At 9:30 we began to file into the hall, the symbol of the university. Everyone present was impressed by the imposing historic building (said to be).
At about 10, leaders and professors concerned were chaired. Then noise turned into silence. The chairman announced the ceremony open and the national anthem to be played. Standing upright, everyone listened with all attention.
Next the president, academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Gu Guanqun addressed the audience. He expressed pleasure with us newcomers, gave an account of the centinnial history of the university and introduced the present situation of SEU, and voiced his earnest hope for us.
Speeches of other teachers and students followed. In the end, the song of SEU rose. Again, we stood up in solemnity. (to be continued)
Right or Wrong?
What is right? What is wrong? What criteria can we employ to distinguish the two? There appears to be a general criterion. Generally speaking, what is acceptable by society and law is considered right, otherwise wrong.
However, things cannot all be judged in this simple binary way. Besides a generally-accepted criterion, each of us have our own particular one. In different situations, we are likely to see a matter from quite distinctive perspectives and come to distinguished conclusions as to right or wrong. It follows naturally that a right thing in one's eyes may go wrong in another's mind.
Be it right or wrong, a heart-to-heart communication is essential and urgent when divergence arises. May 21, 2003
Make Peace with Perfection
Tonight I read an article entitled "Make Peace with Perfection". It conveys a message that I identify with.
Admittedly, life itself is not perfect. So are different aspects of our lives. Despite this, people never stop striving for perfection. Expectedly, most attempts of this kind end in failure, which, in turn, ushers in complaint, puzzlement, and depression about imperfection. Seeing this phenomenon from a different angle, we may tentatively conclude that those aspiring to perfection are actually trying to find what's wrong with life, paying scant attention to abundant wonderful things in life.
Reflect on this point: Whether or to what extent life is perfect rests largely on what attitudes we hold towards it. Life is fairly fine in the absence of our stringent judgement. Keep your mind and eyes open to beautiful things. May 22, 2003
