Three major practices to become a highly disciplined person

        Every graduation ceremony is the end of a journey and the beginning of another journey. Students leave campus and run towards the world, while teachers light up their path with wisdom and blessings. This issue specially includes a motivational speech given by President Liao Qingrong of Yuan Ze University to recent graduates. The three key practices he proposed are not only a reminder for graduates, but also a set of growth guidelines applicable to professionals at any stage.

        

        Firstly, congratulations to all the students for successfully completing their studies and standing at an important milestone in their lives. This not only symbolizes the successful end of a journey, but also the starting point towards a brand new future.

        In this era of rapid development of AI and ever-changing world, the future is full of both challenges and infinite opportunities. The key to seizing these opportunities lies in whether you possess a high level of self-discipline.

        Self discipline is not demanding of oneself, but an attitude and cultivation of mastering oneself, guiding oneself, and believing in oneself. Today, I would like to share with you three key practices that will help you become self disciplined and free on your journey in life.

        1. Time cultivation: The first step of self-discipline is to master one's own time. Everyone has the same 24 hours every day, and disciplined people know how to cherish every moment, find a rhythm for life, and set their own 'metronome'.

        When you embrace passion for your dreams, that passion becomes the alarm clock of the morning, waking you up and making you willingly give and not afraid of challenges. Everyone has their own unique pace, there is no need to compare themselves with others, just focus on personal growth and steadily move towards your dreams.

        2. Emotional cultivation: Life cannot always be smooth sailing. When facing pressure and setbacks, the key is not whether you fall, but whether you can quickly stand up. When you fall, get lost, or lose direction, you may want to stop and remind yourself: you have overcome countless difficulties, and this time you will definitely get through.

        A self disciplined person is not swayed by emotions, but understands how to coexist with pressure and move forward steadily in the wind and rain. Positive thinking is the power to face challenges, while mindfulness can turn difficulties into opportunities for growth, making quick resilience your superpower.

        3. Learning and cultivation: Real learning only begins after leaving the campus. Especially in the era of rapid development of AI and ever-changing technology, today's knowledge may become outdated next month. Without learning, one will be eliminated by the times, and without updating, one will fall behind.

        In the era of AI, learning is not a multiple-choice question, but a survival question. Self disciplined individuals do not wait for environmental changes to catch up, but instead actively learn and continue to grow, making progress every day. After graduation, learning is no longer about exams, but about learning how to learn, how to adapt, and how to find a foothold in changing situations.

        Dear classmates, graduation is not only the pinnacle, but also a brand new starting point, and an important milestone worth celebrating in your growth journey. On the road to the future, it is inevitable to feel confused and even doubt oneself, but please don't forget this moment today - you have proven that you can do it, and the future is also possible.

        May you carry the spirit of self-discipline, move forward firmly in changes, find direction in uncertainty, and walk out of your own wonderful life. Wherever you go, you can become someone who illuminates others and makes yourself shine. When you succeed in your career, don't forget to contribute to society, give back to your alma mater, and support your younger students.
