Yu inspirational speech

In fact, there are some things that bind us for life, whether it is poverty or social status, whether it is traditional customs or legal provisions. The struggle of life is the process of dancing in bondage. Life without bondage seems frivolous and weightless, and the bondage of life and the efforts to get rid of it make our life heavy and beautiful.

Everyone longs for life to flow unimpeded like sea water, connected with the blue sky; Everyone longs for life to float freely from the sky like the wind, without a trace of concern except taking away white clouds. No one wants his life to be bound, just as no animal wants to be locked in a cage. A person's life is a process of trying to get rid of some kind of bondage, making life colorful and full of opportunities, failing in chewing and succeeding in taste.

Once a person has a clear mind, the first thing to do is to fight against bondage. From the age of eleven or twelve, teenagers usually have a strong rebellious period of several years. During this period, teenagers often oppose their parents or teachers regardless of their right or wrong. This phenomenon is a concrete manifestation of life's desire to break free from bondage. It can be said that the first time teenagers fought against their parents, they began their life-long struggle against all kinds of bondage. Animals declare their strength by fighting and determine their position in the group; Human beings prove their abilities through wisdom and patience, and finally get rid of the shackles of society and enter a state of freedom. Although this state of freedom may be just an illusion, the struggle to enter this state has given life rich meaning.

A person is not so much fighting for an ideal as trying to get rid of some kind of bondage. If we are born in a poor family, all our efforts may have only one purpose, and that is to get rid of poverty. Because poverty has brought us too many constraints, living in poverty can not be publicized and respected. Therefore, poor people are often more self-reliant, because they have enough motivation behind them: they want to live a good life like city dwellers (although life in city dwellers may not be easy), and they want to eat more and go further like city dwellers. These simplest ideals have just turned into the most lasting despair.

As soon as people get out of poverty, they will immediately strive for their social status, because the level of social status is directly related to a person's dignity. If a person's social status is low, just like the tail wolf in a group of wolves, he can only eat the last bite of meat forever, never get the best chance, or even get the favor of the mother wolf. The sad state of low social status is enough to urge any man and woman to use all their strength and methods to get rid of humility. Low social status is a very real pain. When college students from the bottom of society see that their classmates with family background are always surrounded by people and chased by girls, no matter how big their lungs are, they will feel chest tightness. In this sense, people who know that social status cannot be achieved overnight will strive for the improvement of social status with sustained and patient efforts (sometimes lifelong efforts), while those who have no patience will take dangerous actions and achieve their goals through flattery and deception. Vanity and greed are particularly dangerous in the face of social status. Vanity often ruins happiness for the sake of face, and greedy people may ruin their lives for the sake of status, because status, like money, has no satisfactory measure and can only be felt from the heart. A person who doesn't know enough about when to stop facing the temptation of status and power can easily enter dangerous places. But in any case, most people struggle all their lives to improve their social status.

When people have a certain social status, they begin to demand spiritual liberation and freedom, hoping to get rid of the social restrictions on their mind and spirit, which is a higher level of life struggle (of course, some great men can jump over the obstacles of poverty and social status and directly enter the realm of pursuing spiritual liberation). The expression that all men are created equal is not only a question of social status, but also a question of spiritual freedom. The essence of democratic appeal is to get rid of the shackles of ideology and obtain spiritual equality. When we find that many fetters in the real world can't be freed, we hope our hearts can be liberated, and this process of getting rid of all kinds of fetters in our hearts is exactly the process of great literature and philosophical thoughts. The main purpose of people's literary and philosophical thinking is to liberate their emotions and gain happiness and freedom.

If ordinary people's life struggle process is touching enough, then the success of another kind of people is even more shocking, that is, people who get rid of the shackles of physical disability and create miracles, because they often do things that even normal people can't do. Helen Keller was deaf and blind from childhood, but in the end she wrote beautiful words that made people tremble. Beethoven wrote the ninth symphony after he was deaf, Hawking wrote a brief history of time by finger movement in a wheelchair, and Sima Qian finished Historical Records after he was imprisoned. The great achievements of all these people are not without releasing their powerful spiritual strength after getting rid of the shackles of physical disabilities. There is also Guanyin with a thousand hands, which was jumped out by a deaf-mute girl in China. Every movement affects people's nerves about beauty. I once met a Zhejiang student named Zuo Li, who was completely deaf since he was a child. Today, the world still mourns for him, but he has been studying in the university through his own efforts and has always been a good student. He can know what the teacher is saying by reading his lips. His writing is fluent and his thoughts are rich. Now he is going to study in the best university abroad, from lip reading Chinese to lip reading English. None of us who have good hearing can understand English well. In the face of students like Zuo Li, what can we complain about besides working hard?

I call people like Zuo Li the most beautiful dancers who jump out of bondage. In fact, there are some things that bind us for life, whether it is poverty or social status, whether it is traditional customs or legal provisions. The struggle of life is the process of dancing in bondage. Life without bondage seems frivolous and weightless, and the bondage of life and the efforts to get rid of it make our life heavy and beautiful. When I was learning snowboarding, I had a deep understanding of this. Snowboarding requires that your feet are firmly fixed on the board, so you will fall if you stand up in the smooth snow. In the process of fighting against snowboarding, you will be beaten black and blue, but as long as you stick to it, you will gradually find that the veneer seems to be slowly melting into a part of your body and has been freely used under your feet. With the help of veneer, you can already roll forward and leave a series of chic and beauty for your life.
