Think Differently As a Habit
Good afternoon,ladies and gentlemen.I’m glad to make a speech here.My topic is Think Differently As a Habit.
When I took the first glance at this topic,the first thing that occurred to me was a famous saying by French philosopher Decartes,which goes like this:I think,therefore I am.As everybody knows,I am no philosopher,neither could I be called a thinker by any means.I’m not going to talk about philosophical thinking.Instead,I just want to talk about what I’ve been really thinking about this in recent years.
For so long we Chinese have been wondering why such a people well-known for its Four Great Inventions is now lacking in innovations.It’s widely believed that our educational system is to blame.Now I recalled that back in my elementary school the teacher once asked us to write a composition about a good thing we did in that week.All the compositions but one girl’s ended up fabricated things,such as helping the elderly cross streets,tidying up homes for people with disabilities etc.I am not saying all of them were fabricated,but they seemed pretty untrue.The narrative of that girl’s story still seems so vivid and inspiring even after so many years.In her composition she told a story that she first cooked for her parents,and even though those dishes were far from tasty,she was so joyful because her parents were so touched and happy upon seeing the spontaneous love from their daughter.She thought this was definitely a good thing worth memorable and sharing,in spite of the risk of being laughed at by other students and thought as a weirdo.
Now obviously we understand who should have been laughed at.When we are faced with similar situations,however,we might as well sink into conformity habitually for fear of being thought as a weirdo.I feel like thinking differently is just like a double-edged sword.It provokes innovations without any doubt.It also intertwines with risk of being isolated from the majority.Every time we come up with a new idea and encounter little understanding,we feel like,man,this hurts,I can’t take it anymore; I want to be normal.
But I’d like to say,only in the split second that we think differently,for better or for worse,could we be called the real and true selves.Man is born to think rather than copy others’ opinions.Suppose we just enter the campus and we are going to the cafeteria because we’re hungry.I might feel like taking a detour around.You might think I’m being silly or strange.But the thing is,on those gravel paths I’ll enjoy the scenery of green swaying sycamore trees and birds singing.It may take a bit longer time than usual,but chances are I might have my meal with exhilaration,and in the rest of the day I might be doing my work more effectively.
So my point is that there might be a lot trial and error before we really turn different thinkings into innovations,but chances are we would gain the fulfillment and find the true selves.Let me end my speech with a wise saying that goes like this:Think differently,Live differently.
Thank you.
