How to be a qualified postgraduate in the new age?
Ladies and gentlemen, good evening!
I feel privileged tonight to deliver a speech on how to be a qualified postgraduate in the new age.First, I’d like to share two pieces of news with you.Oriental Morning Post reported on 10th October that the average salary per month in 2009 for undergraduates is 2690 rmb, 3000 rmb in 2010;whereas for postgraduates the average salary per month in 2009 is 4050 rmb, 3750 rmb in 2010, based on the research made by CIIC.The average salary for postgraduates is in decline while for the undergraduates on the contrary.Well, what’s worse, growing inflationary preure is getting people’s nerves.It is said that more and more residents in Guangdong province, especially Shenzhen, have in the past few weeks been queuing into Hong Kong to buy sugar, salt and even tiue paper in bulk to cushion increasing preure from rising food prices at home.Can you imagine that? Do you know what 3750 rmb can afford? Why do postgraduates get poor reward? So, tonight we are here not for a clichéd topic, but the enlightment to our survival in society.Becoming a qualified postgraduate is of paramount importance.Then, how?
I want to ask all students here, who has got a specific goal in your mind and is pursuing it step by step? Please raise your hands.Do have a clear-cut plan and goal.Someone may think campus is peaceful where I needn’t face the cut-throat competition immediately;some regard marrying a good gentleman or lady is the optimal choice;some deem that finding a good job is the aim.Anyway, what is our goal on earth? A good job? What do you mean by “good”? Monthly pay is 5000rmb,or 10000rmb? We need to think more.So, the goal we established shall be quantifiable and executed.Then, what to do next?
To begin with, learn how to learn.A postgraduate distinguishes himself from an undergraduate in his thought.On certain research question, he develops his own train of thought, is inclined to reasonably question the authorities and cultivates capabilities to independently carry out the study and research.Learning methods and skills are also noteworthy.Secondly, in such a quick-tempo society full of temptations, a qualified postgraduate is never to be Stephen Ambrose, Tang Jun or Xiao Chuanguo, who is well-known experts but also pseudoscience and academic frauds.A qualified postgraduate can concentrate on the study, keep reading and writing and take it seriously.On such a basis, he or she carries out his plan in an innovative and creative way.Why do the iPod, iPad and iPhone become so popular worldwide? Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple answers, “I stick to my ideas that phones and computers shall be like that and make it come true”.Jobs made it.Each of Apple’s products oozes cool and leads the way.We are supposed to learn therefrom.The last point I want to say, do find chances in the real life to exercise ourselves.Can you use the printer? Can you receive and send a fax? How do you pick up your clients in the airport? Once you set your foot in the career path, you will face more seemingly easy actually demanding things.We have to well equip ourselves.The earlier, the better.We are in the new age.It may be the best of times or the worst of times;it may be the season of light or the season of darkne.Everything is before us, so, ladies and gentlemen, take actions and approach a qualified postgraduate.It is time for us to turn the winter of despair into the spring of hope.That’s all.Thank you for your attention.
