   While youth is the most beautiful season of life, struggles are the most dazzling part of it. As NCUT graduates embark upon a new journey ahead with your accomplishments here, President Zhang Lifeng gave several sincere suggestions. Firstly, pack up and have a fresh new start, toast to the past and promise a bright future. You are on a new starting line again that you have to cherish as a chance to reshape yourself. Secondly, uphold the truth and be a good person, righteously following your path ahead, doing your deeds and performing yourself. Plan and foresee the future, being a wise man to plan. Thirdly, keep pace with the future, being a person who is willing to struggle for your dreams and plans. Your effort is the only way out for a more glamorous youth and life, also follows your ambition to break the cocoon into a butterfly and transform yourself into a dragon. Fourthly, keep forging ahead and persist to the end instead of being defeated. Frustration, obstacles and competition are an inevitable part on your way, but you have to stick to the law of societal jungle “either forge ahead or fall behind”, pursuing your excellence and making efforts continuously. Becoming a college graduate in this flourishing new era with historic responsibilities, it’s essential to embrace a generous belief that “I can be counted out of success but success can count on me”, and realize your life value with a broad mind and firm determination.
