My class had a wonderful and successful side meeting this afternoon. Mr. Zhang and Mr. Pan had visited us and joined us. They said that it was the best one they had seen comparing to other classes.
At first, the monitor gave us a review of the first half of our college life. We didn't releaze that we had done so many things. We us had many activities worth our remembering. That the Jiaozi-making for example. It was surprising that we made such a good job. We made a good team-work.
Then Prof. Zhao Tiejun gave us a simple introduction to the life in America, which aroused our dream to study abroad. He metioned that we should make full prepraration for PH.D abroad, for it requires much hard work.
Dang Ke showed something on studying abroad, followed by my About Kaoyan--On How to Prepare Graduates' Entrance Exam. Well I don't care the detail things nor do I know. I collected some articles on the subject. To my classmates and to me, I tried my best to express my ideas. Graduates' Entrance Exam seems to be a great challenge. The more I considered it, the more self-confidence I gained. Besides, I gained it from the eyes from my dear classmates.
To somebody, the side meeting means nothing. To me, it means much. I know what the life in America seems to be, and so do I know what a challenging job to get one's PH.D abroad( also home). It's a good start to think about one's future.
I just visited a few pages of LTI, CMU. I clicked a homepage link of a PH.D student named Chih-yu Chao, who is from Taipei. I was shocked that she got 2140 in GRE, which contributes her entrance to CMU. What a great job! She 'said' that she was fond of languages and of course computer. I think that's why she choose to study abroad.
However how I wish I could study at CMU. It seems to me a challenging job. Well I hold the belief that no pains no gains. To earn such an opportunity I need to work hard, which requires persistance and courage. I've been holding the dream.
Sometimes it's a wonderful thing to think about one's future. Maybe it's some kind of daydreaming. I don't care. Daydreaming makes me feel better. I'm not that kind of persons who happen to be short-sighted. I need to make a good plan for my future, for time waits for no man. What I need is to work hard and focue on what I'm doing now. I got to know the importance of focue and try to pay no attention to other things. To me learning, researching and practising is vital.
I hope I will hold the dream and make it realized some day. Good luck.
几天来,我疲惫不堪。微软亚洲研究院“哈工大之行”的前前后后,我在俱乐部忙来忙去。感觉非常累。16日晚有一个对话节目,主角是微软的张亚勤博士、许峰雄博士、周明博士、高剑锋博士、张高博士五人。从他们的对话感觉到,他们成功的一个很重要的原因是他们专注于做他们喜爱的事情,无论是一院之长张亚勤,还是“深蓝之父”许峰雄。做自己所喜爱的事情,不会让自己感觉到疲惫。而我呢,一方面想做喜爱的事情,一方面被一些其他事情所扰,结果哪一点都没有做好。
加入俱乐部二年多了,得到的东西的确不少。若不是今年夏天参加了微软学生夏令营,我也许就退出了。毕竟无功不受禄。如果夏令营结束后就辞职,我觉得显得没有责任感——即没良心。我还是继续做我的技术部主管。可是这次“长城计划”几乎花去我一周的时间,课没上好、研究滞后、书没有看......我似乎不太适合“多线程”的工作状态。加之这一周,考试、活动、党支部的工作,全部都集中到一起了,令我身心疲惫不堪。
我仔细品位微软研究院的几位博士的成功经历,再结合身边的榜样,体会到“专注”与“乐趣”的重要情。如果我不能专注做两样事情,那么不如放弃一样,要不那一件都做不好。难就难在放弃。
思前想后,我决定退出俱乐部。不过的找到一个人来接替我的位置——我还是要负责。研究或者学习技术,我都喜欢。趁着现在还是Junior,我的抓紧时间读书、作实验、学习。时不我待。我不应该在让一些别的事情牵制我。
刚才听了一下《新东方演讲》,其中俞敏宏提到“有多少人在达到某种成功后,为自己感动而流过泪?”
我听了心里一颤。为自己感动而流泪?我没有。
当一个人考了两年终于考入清华,是否为自己流泪?
当一个人经历的几个月的磨砺,获得了GRE的好成绩,是否会为自己流泪?
当一个人与同伴合作,在美国数学建模竞赛中获得Outstanding奖,是否会为自己流泪?
当一个人在大学四年,一直为自己的梦想奋斗,是否会为自己流泪?
为自己感动...努力啊
