幸福都是奋斗出来的

在我们共同赖以生存的这个地球上，每天都有很多我们知道的、甚至更多我们不知道的事情在发生。饥饿、瘟疫、恐怖和战争还在威胁着一些国家、一些地区的孩子以及他们的家人。而我们能够生活在这样一个和平繁荣的国家，能够生活在这样一个宜居小康的城市，有着一个温馨的家庭，有着一个美丽的学校，我们是多么多么的幸福。

但是这种幸福在71年前是绝对不可想象的，那时候我们的国人就是生活在饥饿和战乱的水深火热之中。为了全中国人民的这个幸福，71年前，数以万计的先烈们赴汤蹈火、前赴后继、英勇奋斗，流尽了鲜血；为了全中国人民的这个幸福，71年来，数以亿计的前辈们自力更生、奋发图强、艰苦奋斗，流尽了汗水。所以我们应该明白，我们今天的幸福生活是从哪里来的；我们应该牢牢记住习近平主席说的话“幸福都是奋斗出来的”；我们应该永远记住那些为了我们的幸福献出青春、甚至献出生命的英雄们。

“幸福都是奋斗出来的” ，一个国家是这样，每一个家庭也是这样。我希望我们每一位同学、也包括每一位年轻的老师们，回去请你们的爸爸妈妈爷爷奶奶外公外婆讲讲过去的故事，从他们身上、从这些故事里去寻找你们现在之所以幸福的源头。也许是背景不同，也许是代沟关系，这些故事你们可能不爱听。但是这里面的每一个逆境、每一个苦难、每一次逆袭、每一次成功，对你都会有启发，对你都是一盏明灯。真的，每一个幸福的家庭背后，都有一个成功的父辈；每一个成功的父辈身上，都有一段奋斗的故事。

“幸福都是奋斗出来的”，我们的父辈们是这样，我们每一个年轻人也是这样。“奋斗”和“幸福”是一对因果关系。对于我们的父辈和我们这些过来人而言，没有奋斗就没有今天；对于在场的年轻学生和老师而言，你们都是未来人，没奋斗就没有明天。宇宙的规律本来就是“物竞天择，优胜劣汰”的。也许你的父母怕你吃苦受累，对你的学业和未来没有要求；也许你的父母有钱有关系，会帮你搞定升学和就业以及未来的一切。这样的父母目光短浅，吃亏的最终是你自己。如果你除了父母给予的一切之外，什么本事都没有，那么当你自己长大成人、成家立业的时候，你拿什么来立足社会？你拿什么来养家糊口？你拿什么来给你的子女后代以幸福？所以我们年轻人有两件事绝对不能做，现在不能“拼爹”，未来不能“啃老”。

最后我给大家两个公式。第一个公式是“人生幸福=理想+奋斗”，学过物理的人知道有一种量叫“矢量”，理想就是矢量的方向，奋斗就是矢量的大小。第二个公式是“人生奋斗=勇敢+智慧”，老话说“狭路相逢勇者胜，勇者相逢智者胜”。

Happiness comes from struggle

Every day on this planet, whether we are aware of it or not, there are many things happening. Hunger, plague, terror and war still threaten the lives of children and their families in some countries and regions. In contrast, we are living a comfortable life in a well-off city, in a peaceful and prosperous country. We have a loving and caring family and a beautiful school. Just think about how happy we are.

But such happiness was unimaginable 71 years ago, when our people were suffering from hunger and war. To achieve such happiness for Chinese people, 71 years ago, tens of thousands of courageous martyrs struggled fearlessly and even shed their blood and lost their lives.  To achieve such happiness for Chinese people, during the past 71 years, hundreds of millions of our predecessors have struggled tirelessly and shed their sweat. We should understand where the happiness comes from. Just as President Xi Jinping said, happiness comes from struggle. We should always remember those heroes who sacrificed their time and lives for our happiness.

“Happiness comes from struggle” – this truth works for families and nations. Dear students and young teachers, please ask your parents and grandparents about their stories to find out the source of your happiness. You might not be interested in their stories because of different backgrounds or generation gaps. But every adversity, every hardship, every victory, every success, is an inspiration and a beacon. Behind every happy family is always a successful parent and every successful parent has a story of struggle.

“Happiness comes from struggle” – this truth works for you and your parents. There is a causal relationship between struggle and happiness. Without the struggle of your parents and the older generation, your happiness would not be possible. As the future generation, young teachers and students, please remember that without your struggle, there is no future. The law of natural selection implies that only the fittest survive. Maybe your parents never hold you to higher standards with regard to your academic performance or the future because they do not want you to be overwhelmed by hardship. Maybe they have the money and connections to help you get into a school or find a job. But such parents are short-sighted and eventually you are the one who suffers. If you rely too much on our parents and refuse to struggle, then when you grow up, you will not be able to support your own family and ensure a happy life for your children. Two things should be definitely avoided: As a student, you should avoid nepotism, and as a grown-up, avoid living off your parents.

I would like to conclude today’s speech with two equations. The first equation: “A happy life” equals “dream” plus “struggle”. In physics, we use “vector” to describe a quantity that has both magnitude and direction.  In real life, your dream defines the direction and your struggle defines the magnitude. The second equation: “Struggle” equals “bravery” plus “wisdom”. When two men compete against each other, the brave one wins. When two brave men compete, the wise one wins.
