【国旗下讲话】Diligence makes your future gorgeous勤奋人生,绚丽如花

三月的品格主题是“勤奋”。三月的田野,已经开满了很多的花儿。如果你走近一处花丛留心观察,你会发现蜜蜂正在采蜜。你知道吗?一只蜜蜂要酿造1000克的蜜,必须采集100万朵花的花蜜;假若采蜜的花丛同蜂房的距离为1.5千米,他们就得飞45万千米,差不多等于11个地球赤道长。蜜蜂的精神不就向我们展示了“勤奋”的精神吗?

The character theme of March is “diligence”. The fields in March are already full of flowers. If you approach a flower bush and watch carefully for a while, you will find bees gathering honey. Do you know If a bee wants to brew one kilogram of honey, it must collect the nectar of one million flowers. If the distance between the nectar-collecting flowers and the hive is 1.5 kilometers, they have to fly 450,000 kilometers, which is almost equal to the length of 11 earth equator. Don’t bees show us the spirit of “diligence”? 1

唐代著名文学家韩愈说,“业精于勤荒于嬉,行成于思毁于随。”中国近代数学家华罗庚也说,“聪明出于勤奋,天才在于积累。”勤奋是成功的基石。一个勤奋的人,如同春天刚种下的苗儿,看不见它,它一天天却长得很快。反之,懒惰怠慢学习就像磨刀的石头,虽然平时看不见有什么损耗,但其实它每天都在亏损变薄。

Han Yu, a famous writer in Tang Dynasty, said, ” Studies are dedicated due to diligence, but abandoned due to play; Virtue is achieved by independent thinking, but corrupted by following the customs.” Luogeng Hua , a modern Chinese mathematician, also said, “Wisdom comes from diligence, and genius lies in accumulation.” Diligence is the cornerstone of success. A diligent person, like a seedling just planted in spring, can’t see it, but it grows fast day by day. On the contrary, laziness and neglect of study are like sharpening Stone. Although there is no loss at ordinary times, it is actually losing money and thinning every day. 

意大利著名画家达芬奇按照老师的要求,三年如一日坚持画鸡蛋,训练出非同常人的观察能力和绘画能力,站到了艺术巅峰;诸葛亮年少时,师从水镜先生司马徽,诸葛亮为了让老师讲课的时间延长,每天上学把粮食装在口袋里,在报时下课的鸡快叫的时候,投喂食物,这样鸡一吃饱,就不叫了。后来老师发现了,一开始很恼怒,但不久就被诸葛亮勤奋好学精神所感动,更加毫无保留地教育他。

According to the teacher’s request, the famous Italian painter Da Vinci insisted on painting eggs for three years, which trained him extraordinary observation ability and painting ability, and finally he stood at the peak of art; When Zhuge Liang was young, he studied under Mr. Si Mahui. In order to prolong the teacher’s lecture time, Zhuge Liang went to school every day and put food in his pocket. When the chickens  were about to bark, he fed food, so that they stopped barking. Later, when the teacher found out, he was very angry at first, but soon he was moved by Zhuge Liang’s diligent and studious spirit, and educated him more unreservedly.

俗语说,“勤奋是智慧的双胞胎,懒惰是愚蠢的亲兄弟。”一个懒惰的人也注定会两手空空。宋朝文学家王安石写过一篇文章叫《伤仲永》。讲宋朝有个叫方仲永的“神童”,5岁就会写诗,而且写得又快又好,但是他父亲经常带他到处炫耀,使他不能继续学习,智力也日益走下坡路,后来神童也逐渐变成了平庸之辈。

As the saying goes, “Diligence is the twin of wisdom, and laziness is the foolish brother.” A lazy person is destined to be empty-handed. Wang Anshi, a writer in Song Dynasty, wrote an article called “Feeling sad for Zhongyong”. There was a “prodigy” named Zhongyong Fang in Song Dynasty, who could write poems at the age of five, and he wrote them quickly and well. However, his father often took him everywhere to show off , which made him unable to continue his studies, and his intelligence was declining day by day. Later, prodigies gradually became mediocre people.1

由此可见,即使天资很高的人,如果后天不勤学苦练,也不会有很大的成就。天才出于勤奋,勤奋成就事业,勤奋是我们实现人生理想的法宝,勤奋能帮助我们创造自己的精彩人生。

It can be seen that even highly talented people will not achieve much if they don’t study hard the day after tomorrow. Genius stems from diligence, which makes a career. Diligence is the magic weapon for us to realize our life ideal. Diligence can help us create our own wonderful life.

勤奋学习,就是在成绩面前永不满足,扩展更广泛的课外积累,不断对自己提出更高的学习目标。勤奋学习,就是面对学习作业,能一丝不苟地完成。面对学习中的困难,能积极找出困难的原因,勇于克服困难,不解决困难不罢休。

Diligent study means never being satisfied with your grades, expanding your extra-curricular accumulation, and constantly setting higher learning goals for yourself. To study diligently means to face the study assignment and finish it meticulously. In the face of difficulties in learning, we can actively find out the causes of difficulties, overcome them bravely, and don’t give up until they are solved. 1

同学们,三月,是勤奋之月;在三月里,让我们拥抱勤奋品格;我们热爱勤奋,勤奋也将带给我们丰厚的回报。书山有路勤为径,道路就在我们面前,让我们踏上勤学之路,用勤奋的汗水浇灌出绚丽的人生之花。

Schoolmates, March is the month of diligence; In March, let us embrace the diligent character; When We work hard , hard-working will also bring us rich rewards. If you want to successfully reach the top of the knowledge mountain, diligence is the only way to reach the top, and the road is right in front of us. Let’s start on the road of diligent study and create a beautiful future with diligent sweat.
