各位老师们、2019级的同学们：
大家好！我是来自 2019级MBA国际班的佘承瀚。
今天，我能够作为2019级MBA、MSEM学生代表站在百年讲堂的舞台上发表新生感言，感到非常荣幸。
记得当我收到入学通知书的时候，内心是多么地激动，多么地兴奋。
一直以来，我秉持着对自身的严格要求以及坚持不懈的奋斗热情，这些坚持让我不断进步，才成就了今天的我。但是我想说，这样的坚持是永无止息的。因为只要我们一直渴望进步，追求精益求精，就永远还有需要我们继续学习与锻炼的事情。
我从来就不是学校里的学霸，或是英语里头说的straight A+ student。因为其他人总是别人口中的冠军。
很多人告诉我，当你踏进国内首屈一指的北京大学，走进最一流的商学院，你会发现，空气中都染着浓浓的学霸气息。用心感受一下周遭，没错，就是这个氛围。
我绝对不是这里最聪明的学生，两年后我依旧不会是，但成为最聪明的学生不是我来这里的目的。我来这里是为了拥抱改变，为了学习批判思维。
同学们，永远记得此时此刻，你是如何走到今天这一步的：
你，离开了原本的工作。
你，第一次来到北京。
你，一边工作一边开始MBA的学涯。
你，刚升格成为孩子的父母，恭喜你！
由此可见，即便我们再不一样，也一样可以经过努力齐聚在北大、在光华。我们将要踏上一段彻底改变我们生活的旅程，我希望各位在未来的两年，或是一年的旅程中永远不要忘记自己想要变得更好、追求卓越的初衷。当你接受改变、适应改变、才能带领改变。不要忘记我们 “成为商界领袖”的使命。
我有十足的信心，经过光华的洗礼后，我们终将获得更进阶的批判思维能力。当我们代表光华在社会上立足的时候，人们必定会对我们投以肯定及信赖的眼光。
“没有目标的梦想终究只是空想并且令人失望”，这是我曾经在一篇针对知名演员丹佐华盛顿的报道中读到的一段话。同学们，请勇于做梦，做伟大的梦，但切记，一定要为自己的梦想找到目标。我邀请各位和我一起思考，你，想成为什么样的自己？
来到光华，我已迫不及待要在光华的带领下激发自己的潜能，因此我给自己设立了明确的挑战和目标。
在我结束今天的发言前，我想将这些挑战和目标分享给在座的各位伙伴，或许你已和我有相同的想法，也或许这些能带给你多一点的启发，无论如何，我希望这些分享能在学习的道路上帮助你我：
我期望我们接受改变、适应改变。
我期望我们不断尝试新的事物。
我期望我们勇于做梦、做伟大的梦、有目标的梦。
我期待我们不畏尝试失败，并且不畏重复尝试。
我期待我们尽心、尽力去回馈曾经帮助过我们的人、我们不认识的人，还有我们的社会。
我期待我们能够，带领改变。
非常期待能够和各位老师们和同学们一起展开在光华的学习之旅！谢谢！
Director of MBA & MSEM, Deans, Professors, the MBA & MSEM Office, Admissions, and most importantly, fellow Class of 2021,
Hello! My name is Cheng-Han Sher, you can call me Henry, and I am your 2019 IMBA classmate. What a privilege and honor to be standing here. I am so humbled.
When I received the admission acceptance letter from Guanghua, I was so thrilled. I was so excited, yet I was so nervous. All the discipline and persistence got me where I am today, only to push me even further to become more discipline and more persistence. When will this ever end?
My answer is no, it will never. We will become better versions of ourselves only when we choose to be.
I am not a XueBa 学霸, or in English – the straight A student, sorry, the straight A+ student; those who don’t know what runner-up means, because they are always 1st.
People tell me the moment you step into the Campus of Peking University, even the air is filled with 学霸. Take a deep breath – yes, that’s the smell. Remember it.
Knowing that coming to Guanghua, I will not be the smartest. And I will still not be the smartest after two years. But that is not what I am here for. I am here to be transformed. I am here for critical thinking.
Class of 2021, remember who you are, remember the sacrifices you have made this far:
You just left your job.
You are on scholarship, all the hard work you have put in.
You just arrived to Beijing, for the first time in your life.
You are working and starting your MBA at the same time.
You just had a newborn baby. Congratulations!
You see, we are all different, but we are all here together today because of our proven records. We are about to embark on a journey that will forever transform our lives over the next two years, or one, if you are already on a double degree. But please, pause, and think. All the sacrifices that you have made, because you want to be better, and you want to seek excellence.
I am so confident that after our two years here at Guanghua, we will be better critical thinkers. And when people look at us, they will never, ever look away. Because we represent Guanghua.
“Dreams without goals are just dreams, and they ultimately fuel disappointment.” These are the words from Denzel Washington. So Class of 2021, have dreams! Dream big! But remember to have goals, too.
I came to Guanghua with challenges in mind, because I am ready and excited to find my potential and seek answers, together with Guanghua.
And before I end my speech, I want to share them with you. Maybe, you already have them all. Maybe, they will re-inspire you. Here are my six (6) challenges, for all of us, in these coming two years:
1. I challenge you to accept and adapt change.
2. I challenge you to try something new.
3. I challenge you to dream big, with a clear goal.
4. I challenge you to fail, and then try again.
5. I challenge you to give back to the people around you, whenever you can.
6. I challenge you to lead change.
My name is Henry Sher and I am so excited to take on these challenges with you. Thank you!
