认识真实的自己
香港中文大学信息工程硕士入学晚餐会上的致词
2015年9月4日
首先祝贺大家进入香港中文大学学习。
因为诺亚方舟实验室就在附近，我偶尔会到贵校的美丽校园散步。走在幽静的山旁小径上，我有时会遐想，是不是那些大师，如钱穆、林语堂、高锟也曾在这里散步，思考问题。非常羡慕你们有这样好的学习环境。预祝各位在中文大学学业有成，渡过愉快充实的时光。
今天我想给大家分享一个自己的想法，也是一个自己想跟其他年轻人说的。请允许我从一则寓言故事说起，这是存在主义哲学家克尔凯郭尔（香港译作祈克果）在他的代表作《致死的疾病》中讲的故事。
有个农夫去城里赶集，赚到一些钱，买了一双新袜子和一双新鞋，于是就把它们换上；又去喝酒，直到喝得酩酊大醉。回家的路上，农夫卧倒在道旁睡着了。突然有辆马车驶过，车夫大喊：赶快让开，不然压着你了。农夫被惊醒，看了看自己的新袜与新鞋，已认不出是自己的腿，对着车夫说：你只管压过去，那不是我的腿。
很多人没有认识到真实的自己，而把外在的东西，如衣着、装饰、头衔、职位错当作自己，作为自己努力的目标，或者自己炫耀的资本。他们和醉酒的农夫一样可笑。
你手里拿的iPhone，你开的豪华跑车，你毕业的名校，你有的博士头衔，都只是你的外在属性，不是你真实的自己。
人的价值在于其内涵，真实的自己意味你的能力有多高强，视野有多宽广，洞察有多敏锐，情怀有多高尚。人的本源在于生命，真实的自己意味着你每天能够过得多么健康、愉快、充实，感到生的可贵。每个人都生活在社会上，真实的自己意味着你能给他人带来多少帮助、幸福、与快乐，从而改变世界。人生是短暂的，真实的自己意味着当你离开这个世界的时候，能够留下多少有价值的东西。
我希望大家在进入中文大学这个人生的关键时刻，认真地想一想，如何让真实的自己的部分更加充实、丰富、和多彩。而这一切都需要从理解自己开始。
认识真实的自己，这是我今晚想跟大家分享的。谢谢。
Realize Your Genuine Self
Speech at the welcome dinner of MS in information engineering at the Chinese University of Hong Kong
Sept 4, 2015
First of all, let me congratulate each and every one of you for becoming an MS student of the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
Because Noah’s Ark Lab is just nearby, I occasionally come to your beautiful campus to have a walk. Strolling along the trail at the foot of the hill, I sometimes wonder whether the greatest scholars who worked at the university before, such as Chien Mu, Lin Yutang, Charles Kao, took a walk there as well. I really admire you who will study in this fantastic environment. I sincerely wish you a pleasant and successful stay at the university.
Today I would like to share one thought with you. In fact I also want to talk this to other youths. Let me start with a story, which was written by the Existentialism philosopher S?ren Kierkegaard in his book “sickness unto death”.
There was a farmer who went to the town to attend a bazaar. He made some money, and thus could buy himself a pair of shoes and socks. He took them on. He still had enough left over to get drunk on. He was then trying, in his drunken state, to find his way home. He laid down in the middle of the way and fell asleep. Then came a wagon, and the driver shouted to the farmer to move, otherwise he would run over the legs of the farmer. Then the drunken farmer awoke, looked at his legs, and because of the new shoes and socks he didn’t recognize them, he shouted to the driver, "drive on, they are not my legs."
Many people cannot realize their genuine self. They mistakenly take external things, such as clothing, decoration, title, position, etc as self, and make them as goal of life or means of boasting. They are just as silly as the drunken farmer.
The iPhone which you hold in your hand, the luxury sport car which you drive, the famous university from which you have graduated, the doctoral degree which you have earned, they are all external properties of you, but not your genuine self.
The value of a person depends on the depth of his character, and your genuine self means how high your ability is, how broad your vision is, how deep your insight is, and how great your soul is. Life is the foundation for us as human, and your genuine self means how much you can enjoy healthy, happy and fulfilled life every day and appreciate being alive. We all live in the society, and your genuine self means how much you can help others and make their lives easier, happier, and more fruitful, i.e., how much you can change the world. Life is short, and your genuine self means how many valuable things which you can leave behind, when you pass away from this world.
I sincerely hope that you seriously think about this question at the important milestone of your life: how to make your genuine self stronger, more substantial, and more colorful. All must be begun with understanding of your self.
Realize your genuine self. That is the advice which I would like to give you today. Thank you.
