六月，是一個綠意盎然、生機勃勃的季節(jié)，同時也伴隨著畢業(yè)離別的感傷，但是畢業(yè)同樣意味著希望、預(yù)示著一段新的征程！

深圳市博納學(xué)校第四屆畢業(yè)典禮暨五周年校慶于2019年6月5日順利舉行，今年我校12年級畢業(yè)班的人數(shù)不多，但是大部分同學(xué)都是在9年級或者更早就進入博納學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)。他們陪伴博納學(xué)校走過了風(fēng)雨的五年，同舟共濟，最終撥云見日，一起收獲了成功與喜悅!

To the graduating class of 2019 and to our graduating 8th grade class. In both groups, each individual will begin writing a new chapter of your book after today. The high school graduates will be preparing to physically move to another country and preparing for all the challenges; all of life’s real challenges. You will no longer live in the comfort of your own home, the comfort of a country that speaks your language, the comfort of someone holding your hand and always helping you to solve every little problem that you encounter. You will go on to face the challenges that await you, and you will do so mostly alone. If you have prepared yourself for these challenges you will face some tough times ahead, but you will be able to carry on and see your way through the adversity because you have prepared. If you have not adequately prepared for life aboard and a life away from your parents these challenges may be insurmountable; but I hope you will find it in yourself to never give up. You reap what you sow and the harvest is soon to come in. Be prepared and put yourself into a realistic understanding of what awaits you. In the words of Benjamin Franklin; “By failing to prepare, you prepare to fail.” This is a very short sentence but the meaning is immense. Your scholastic aptitude and your self-discipline will be tested daily when you are abroad. Be prepared.

To our 8th grade students you will be moving on to high school. High school marks the true beginning of your educational journey. High school spans four years and will mark the start of your journey for college, a journey that will be recorded. Your journey will be recorded daily with attendance, and in the grade book; ultimately resulting in a transcript---hopefully. One does not necessarily have to be the smartest to get the best grades. What one does need is to have drive and determination to succeed. While school is often looked at as a series of academic tests it is also a test of self-discipline. This means getting out of bed even though you are tired, attending a class that you might not be interested in and still trying your best, and completing homework when it would be more fun to go play basketball. A journey that must be taken seriously, but not so seriously that you are never able to enjoy some of the scenery.

Both our 12th graders and 8th graders must be prepared to learn, to self-motivate, to help others, and to take responsibility for your actions. All of you are now old enough, and hopefully wise enough to understand the significance of the pervious statement. As quoted by Vernon Law “Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, and the lesson afterward.” Again, do not fall into the trap of being unprepared. Many people will tell you don’t worry about it; everything will work out. Please, do not follow that advice. Rare is the day that everything works out from luck. The most assured way to achieve success and greatness is to be prepared, to work hard, and to make things happen. I will tell you, there are three different types of people: those who make things happens, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what happened. Take this advice seriously, and be the person who makes things happen. Remember, there is seldom a traffic jam on the stretch of road marked “the extra mile”; the reason being is most people simply do not travel there. Working while everyone else is resting will bring you closer to that lonely stretch of road titled “the extra mile.”

One of the greatest boxers in the history of the sport, Muhammad Ali, was once asked “how many sit-ups do you do every day?” His response was “I don’t know how many I do, because I don’t start counting until it hurts.” This one simple sentence says it all. That is a never say die attitude; that is a man who was willing to give his all every day to be the best; to become the greatest.

In this room today, there are plenty of what people might call ordinary people; but please look to the person to your left, and then to your right, then look at yourself and ask which one of us will be the extraordinary individual in a sea of ordinary individuals?

In President John F. Kennedy’s 1962 speech in reference to space exploration he said:

“We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win.”

I was going to conclude by saying best of luck; but decided against as luck will not see you through. So I will conclude by saying always put your best effort forward, and remember it is always darkest before the dawn thus making it the scariest time with the most uncertainty and the least clarity. When you are ready to give up; that is the moment you must never give up; for that is the moment that is one moment behind success. Remember, the easy way and the right way are seldom the same. It is not easy to the right thing in the face of the easy thing. But the greatest reward and satisfaction await when you succeed in an area you thought to be impossible.

親愛的12年級畢業(yè)班和8年級畢業(yè)生：

你們中的每個孩子都將在今天之后開始撰寫人生的新篇章!

高中畢業(yè)生將準備到另一個國家應(yīng)對生活中真正的挑戰(zhàn)，你將脫離舒適圈，獨自面對挑戰(zhàn)。如果你已經(jīng)為迎接這些挑戰(zhàn)做好了準備，那么同時你就將做好面臨這些艱難的時刻!你將在逆境中繼續(xù)前進，你要做好準備!如果你沒有為異國的生活做好充分準備，離開父母等這些挑戰(zhàn)可能對你來說是無法克服的!我希望你會永不言棄!你收獲了你播種的東西，做好準備，讓自己對等待你的東西有所期待。用本杰明富蘭克林的話來說：“由于沒有準備，你準備失敗?！边@是一個非常短的句子，但意義是巨大的。當你在國外時，你的學(xué)術(shù)能力和自律每天都會受到考驗，請做好準備。

對于我們的8年級學(xué)生，你將進入高中。高中標志著你的教育之旅的真正開始。高中四年后，將標志著你開啟大學(xué)之旅，這將是一個有紀念意義的旅程。你的旅程每天都會被記錄，并出現(xiàn)在成績簿中，最終呈現(xiàn)在成績單上。獲得最好成績的人不一定是最聰明的人，人們需要的是擁有成功的動力和決心。雖然學(xué)校經(jīng)常有一系列學(xué)術(shù)考試，它也是對自律的考驗。這意味著，即使你累了，也要下床，參加一個你可能不感興趣的課程，并且仍然盡力而為。在完成家庭作業(yè)時，有可能去打籃球會更有趣。這是一個必須認真對待的旅程，但不要太較勁，以至于你永遠無法享受一些風(fēng)景!

我們的12年級學(xué)生和8年級學(xué)生都必須準備好學(xué)習(xí)、自我激勵、幫助他人，并為自己的行為負責(zé)。你們所有人現(xiàn)在都已經(jīng)長大了，并且希望能夠明智地理解上述陳述的重要性。正如Vernon Law所引述的那樣：“經(jīng)驗是一位很難的老師，因為先做了測試，然后是經(jīng)驗教訓(xùn)。不要再次陷入毫無準備的陷阱?！焙芏嗳藭嬖V你不要擔(dān)心，事情會變好的，請不要遵循這個建議，運氣好的日子很罕見。獲得成功和偉大的最有把握的方法是做好準備，努力工作，讓事情發(fā)生。我會告訴你，有三種不同類型的人：那些讓事情發(fā)生的人，那些觀察事物的人，以及那些想知道發(fā)生了什么的人。認真對待這個建議，成為讓事情發(fā)生的人。請記住，在標有“額外英里”的道路上很少有交通堵塞;原因是大多數(shù)人根本不去那里旅行。在其他人休息的同時工作會讓你更接近那條孤獨的道路，標題為“額外的一英里”。

史上最偉大的拳擊手之一穆罕默德·阿里曾被問到“你每天做多少次仰臥起坐?”他的回答是“我不知道我做了多少，因為我沒有計算，直到受傷為止。”這一個簡單的句子說明了一切。這是一種永不言敗的態(tài)度。那個愿意每天都把自己全都奉獻給最好的人將成為最偉大的人!

今天在座的各位，你們可以稱之為普通人。但是請向你左邊的人看，然后向右看，然后看看你自己，問我們哪一個人將成為普通人海洋中的特殊人物?

約翰·肯尼迪總統(tǒng)1962年關(guān)于太空探索的演講中，他說：“我們選擇在這十年里去月球做其他事情，不是因為它們很容易，而是因為它們很難。因為這個目標將有助于組織和衡量我們最好的能量和技能，因為這個挑戰(zhàn)是我們愿意接受的挑戰(zhàn)，我們不愿意推遲，我們打算贏得挑戰(zhàn)?！?/span>

最后，祝你好運!也許運氣不會讓你一帆風(fēng)順，所以你必須要盡力而為。并記住在黎明之前是最黑暗的，因此它是最不確定和最不清晰以及最可怕的時刻。當你準備放棄的時刻，那是你永遠不能放棄的時刻，因為那是成功背后的最后時刻。請記住，簡單的方法和正確的方法很少相同。面對簡單的事情，做正確的事情并不容易。但是，當你在一個你認為不可能的領(lǐng)域取得成功時，最大的回報和滿足感在等待著你!

謝謝大家!
