尊敬的陈云贤主席、Professor Shechtman、各位领导、各位嘉宾、老师们、同学们：

每年到了炎炎夏日的时候，我的内心总是充满热情，期待与大家见面。

这一刻，你们肯定松了一口气，那些苦苦温习的漫漫长夜已过去了。

红日的光华，照亮前路，你们就如年轻的凤凰，有劲的翅膀已准备好高飞，应战人生。

我和校董们很高兴能与你们分享这快乐时刻。昨天晚上有一位同学跟我说，以你们的语言，要表达衷心的祝贺，就是：「同学们，你们太牛了！」

感恩，蕴含特强的感染力，是一股悦己达人的正能量。「推己及人」的态度，是一股为自己灵魂充电、成就他人、造就成功的超能量。

一念的同理心，有无可量度的威力，我认为它是世界上最值得投资的「储备货币」，它的规模、它的流通、它的价值，在人心之中是实在、全面和绝对的。

年轻的同学们，你可能觉得这是老生常谈，知易行难。其实，你不在乎它，才是一个关键失误。

今天，世人要求成功者交出的成绩表，不但要对经济有所掌握，还要对环境保护有所承担，对人类生活有所贡献，「三重底线」的概念已是最基本要求，如果你想成为明天的领袖，世人对你的气节和能力要求，基准将更高。具有同理心的储备，才知道自己是一个「求存者」，还是一个「求成者」。

在「求存者」眼里，一切都是「谜」。但「求成者」却不同，即使置身于熙熙攘攘的世态中，依然懂得解码的方法。

求成者的内心有所追求，对自己的定位明确，他们愿意为改善今天不断寻找最佳方案；他们精明，但没有一大堆主观的标签；他们负责任的心态，为了贡献明天，拒绝接受不认真、僵化，把一切弄复杂的做事方法。

「求成者」有纵横合一的真功夫，他们的思维系统是非线性的，不怕拥抱新知识、新领域，看不见的联系，是他们创新的乐园。使命感令他们知谦卑，而不妄自菲薄；潇洒勤奋工作，爱思考探索，乐在其中。

最重要的是，「求成者」以「仁能善断」、「仁能善择」去定义自己的一生，我们要把这种态度元素，像编写智能系统内核一样，内置在人生当中，不断升级、不断优化，令涌现的机遇、洞见的升华、做人处世节奏的掌握，汇合运行自如，有效作出最好的判断、最好的选择，打造自己的运气，建立充满光芒的人生。

大家都知道汕头大学和以色列理工学院合办一所新大学，今天我借用犹太长老一个古老的命题：「我不为己，谁人为我，但我只为己，那我又是谁？」只有求成者对这个问题有真正的答案。

各位亲爱的同学，我相信你们一定会选择做一个「求成者」，我对你们充满信心，我知道你们愿意在责任的路上，活出成功、丰盛、快乐和充满尊严的人生。

今天你们以汕大为荣，明天汕大必以你们为荣。谢谢！

Chairman Chen, Professor Shechtman, distinguished faculties, graduates, friends and families,

Summertime again and it is great to be here! Now that the crazy long nights for the finals are behind you, I trust everyone is breathing easy and feeling happier.

The bright summer sun lights up your future stage, like the phoenix of our STU emblem; your unfolding wings will carry you to meet every challenge in a lifetime of imagination and adventures.

Our trustees join me in extending our warmest congratulations to our graduates, “Well done” and we thank you for sharing this profound moment with us.

Today, may I ask you to share your limelight and happiness with everyone who worked so hard to complete our new arena for our commencement ceremony today?

Thank you.

May I ask you to give another thunderous applause to show our deepest appreciation to the faculties and administrators for their dedication to serve, and their commitment to advancing reforms in higher education?

Thank you.

Doesn’t expressing gratitude to others feel wonderful? Mindfulness towards others is a powerful mind-set! It is important to the world because empathy supercharges the virtuous cycle of enriching, empowering, and ennobling.

In fact, I have always considered empathy to be the best investment grade reserve currency for humanity; its scale and liquidity impactful and imaginative, its strength and stability concrete, complete and certain.

You doubt the relevance of these rhetorical narratives?

Everyone knows that tangible qualities for empathy and compassion are easy to list out but hard to live out.

But trust me, don’t you dismiss it lightly. This mind-set is the key differentiation between a thriver and a survivor.

To you our young graduates, it matters because you will be judged by how well you excel in meeting the Triple Bottom Line – financial, environmental and social—the hallmark of success today and the leadership landscape of the future.

To the survivors, everything is an enigma; to the thrivers, there is always a way to decipher the growing lexicon of complexities.

Who are the thrivers?

Thrivers live out their inner quests, they never stop seeking better solutions for today. Thrivers also see themselves as an astute positive force, they take personal responsibility for their conducts and performances in contributing to and creating the future.

Thrivers are convergent thinkers who can identify the possibilities of nonlinear dynamics. They are mission driven and on their own volition; they dare to venture outside comfort zones and are forever on the lookout for knowledge and opportunities that would be relevant and useful.

Thrivers work incredibly harder and are intellectually more engaged.

Most importantly, peak thrivers believe that it is empathy that defines them. This dimension is coded into their kernel and is the central module of their personal operating system that is constantly optimising and synchronising their interpretations of the moment, enhancing their visualization clarity, managing their civility, their pace and their actions, and that regularly upgrades with new versions to grow and glow.

Only the thrivers know how to find the answer to Rabbi Hillel’s contemplation: “If I am not for myself, who will be for me? But if I am only for myself, what am I?”

Are you a thriver? I know you are. I know you will live your life to its truest, in duty, in dignity and joy.

Today, you are proud to be a part of Shantou University; tomorrow, Shantou University will be proud to be a part of you.

Thank you so much.
