背景資料:
2005年11月16日,在世界影壇被譽為“超級硬漢”的阿諾德·施瓦辛格來到清華大學發表演講。屆年58歲,時任加州州長的施瓦辛格依然風度翩翩,一上場就博得了熱烈的掌聲。以“執著于你的夢想”為主題,施瓦辛格與學生們暢談理想,并分享自己的成長故事。他說自己在追逐夢想的過程中,常受到一些人的嘲諷和質疑,但他沒有因此動搖,始終堅持通過自己取得的每一點進步去改變生活、改變未來。他的這種“執著于夢想”的精神是否讓我們的目標更加堅定呢?
名人經典:
Some of your families maybe don't believe in your dreams. But let me tell you something my young friends. Keep your dreams. No matter what, keep your dreams. Don't give up on them, even when you are temporarily defeated or denied. Keep your dreams.
你們的家人也許不相信你們的夢想,但是,年輕的朋友們,讓我告訴你們,執著于你們的夢想!無論如何,堅持你們的夢想。即使你們遭遇暫時的失敗或被否定,也不要放棄你們的夢想。執著于你們的夢想。
