Dear Mr. Li dear my schoolmates good morning!
Entrusted by the first group of schoolmates the topic of my speech is Necessity for lifelong learning.
About lifelong learning there is the famous proverb in Chinese: never too old to learn. Confucius the famous educator in ancient China also said: if I learn the Classical literature "Yi" from the age of 50 I would never make so many mistakes.
To sum up Necessity of lifelong learning is mainly based on the following reasons: First of all the knowledge of modern society changes so quickly if not to learn new knowledge in time you will soon fall behind the times. For example using the mobile Internet technology we can using a mobile phone to book a taxi pay various fees buy all kinds of goods etc. if a person may not grasp the knowledge especially senior people they will not use the convenience brought by Internet.
Secondly diligent in thinking can effectively prevent the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease. This conclusion has been verified in medicine. Finally a person who maintains the habit of lifelong learning can have a stronger advantage in occupation choice. This is not only good for the person but also for the country and the society. Some people complain that they have too much work and have no time to read a book usually. But In fact lifelong learning is not only reading or having a class we can browse the web read e-books receiving distance courses through the Internet conveniently. We can learn not only knowledge but also skills.
Age cannot be a barrier to our lifelong learning. Chu Shijian once the king of China's tobacco industry had suffered a great setback before retirement. He was even put into prison. But at the age of 75 he began to study orange planting technology seriously and finally have a huge success in this area ten years late. Harland Sandoz of America began learning the fast-food lethal at his age of 83. When he was 88 years old his fast food chain often Kentucky had distributed each corner of the world.
Therefore lifelong learning is never too late to start let's start our plan today. Thank you.
