Our Family Creed

They are the principles on which my wife and I have tried to bring up my family.

They are the principles in which my father believed, and by which he governed his life.

They are the principles, many of them, which I leared at my mother's knee.

They point the way to usefulness and happiness in life , to courage and peace in death.

If they mean to you what they mean to me, they may perhaps be helpful also to our sons for their guidance and inspiration.

Let me state them:

I believe in the supreme worth of the individual and his right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

I believe that every right implies a responsibility, every opportunity, an obligation, every possession, a duty.

I believe that the law was made for the man, but not man for the law.

The government is the servant of the people, but not their master.

I believe in the dignity of the labor, whether with head or hand.

That the world owns no man a living, but that it owns every man an opportunity to make a living.

I believe that thrift is essential to well-ordered living and economy is a prime requisite of sound financial structure, whether in government, business or personal affairs.

I believe that truth and justice are fundamental to an enduring social order.

I believe in the sacredness of a promise, that a man's word should be as good as his bond, that character- not wealth, power and position- is of supreme worth.

I believe that the rendering of useful service is the common duty of mankind, that only in the purifying fire of sacrifice is the dross of selfishness consumed and the greatness of the human soul set free.

I believe in an all-wise and all-loving god, named by whatever name, and that the individual's highest fulfillment, greatest happiness and widest usefulness are to be found in living in harmony with his will.

I believe that love is the greatest thing in the world, that it alone can overcome hate, that right can and will triumph over might.

These are the principles, however formulated, for which all good men and women throughout the world, irrespective of race or creed, education, social position or occupation, are standing, and for which many of them are suffering and dying.

These are the principles upon which alone a new world recoginizing the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of god can be estabilshed.

I find it wholesome to be alone the greater part of the time.

To be in company, even with the best, is soon wearisome and dissipating.

I love to be alone.

I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.

We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers.

A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will.

Solitude is not measured by the miles of space that intervene between a man and his fellows.

The really diligent student in one of the crowded hives of Cambridge College is as solitary as a dervish in the desert.

The farmer can work alone in the field or the woods all day, hoeing or chopping, and not feel lonesome, because he is employed; but when he comes home at night he cannot sit down in a room alone, at the mercy of his thoughts, but must be where he can :see the folks,:” and recreate, and, as he thinks, remunerate himself for his day’s solitude; and hence he wonders how the student can sit alone in the house all night and most of the day without ennui and :the blues:; but he does not realize that the student, though in the house, is still at work in his field, and chopping in his woods, as the farmer in his, and in turn seeks the same recreation and society that the latter does, though it may be a more condensed form of it.

Society is commonly too cheap.

We meet at very short intervals, not having had time to acquire any new value for each other.

We meet at meals three times a day, and give each other a new taste of that old musty cheese that we are.

We have had to agree on a certain set of rules, called etiquette and politeness, to make this frequent meeting tolerable and that we need not come to open war.

We meet at the post-office, and at the sociable, and about the firesde every night; we live thick and are in each other’s way, and stumble over one another, and I think that we thus lose some respect for one another.

Certainly less frequency would suffice for all important and hearty communications.

Consider the girls in a factory---never alone, hardly in their dreams.

It would be better if there were but one inhabitant to a square mile, as where I live.

The value of a man is not in his skin, that we should touch him.

I have a great deal of company in my house; especially in the morning, when nobody calls.

Let me suggest a few comparisons, that some one may convey an idea of my situation.

I am no more lonely than the loon in the pond that laughs so loud, or than Walden Pond itself.

What company has that lonely lake, I pray?

And yet it has not the blue devils, but the blue angels in it, in the azure tint of its waters.

The sun is alone, except in thick weather, when there sometimes appear to be two, but one is a mock sun.

god is alone---but the devil, he is far from being alone; he sees a great deal of company; he is legion.

I am no more lonely than a single mullein or dandelion in a pasture, or a bean leaf, or sorrel, or a horse-fly, or a bumblebee.

I am no more lonely than the Millbrook, or a weathercock, or the north star, or the south wind, or an April shower, or a January thaw, or the first spider in a new house.

It is a plain fact that we are in a world where competition is going on in all areas and at all levels.

This is exciting.

Yet, on the other hand, competition breeze a pragmatic attitude.

People choose to learn things that are useful,and do things that are profitable.

Todays' college education is also affected by this general sense of utilitarianism.

Many college students choose business nor computing programming as their majors convinced that this professions are where the big money is.

It is not unusual to see the college students taking a part time jobs as a warming up for the real battle.

I often see my friends taking GRE tests, working on English or computer certificates and taking the driving licence to get a licence.

Well, I have nothing against being practical.

As the competition in the job market gets more and more intense, students do have reasons to be practical.

However, we should never forget that college education is much more than skill training.

Just imagine, if your utilitarianism is prevails on campus, living no space for the cultivation of students' minds,or nurturing of their soul.

We will see university is training out well trained spiritless working machines.

If utilitarianism prevails society, we will see people bond by mind-forged medicals lost in the money-making ventures;we will see humality lossing their grace and dignity, and that would be disastrous.

I'd like to think society as a courage and people persumed for profit or fame as a horese that pulls the courage.

Yet without the driver picking direction the courage would go straight and may even end out in a precarious situation .

A certificate may give you some advantage, but broad horizons, positive attitudes and personal integrities ,these are assets you cannot acquire through any quick fixed way.

In today's world, whether highest level of competition is not of skills or expertise , but vision and strategy.

Your intellectual quality largely determinds how far you can go in your career.

Chinese Undergraduates in the US

Each year, elite American universities and liberal arts colleges, such as Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Amherst and Wellesley, offer a number of scholarships to Chinese high school graduates to study in their undergraduate programs.

Four years ago, I received such a scholarship from Yale.

What are these Chinese undergrads like? Most come from middle-class families in the big urban centers of China.

The geographical distribution is highly skewed, with Shanghai and Beijing heavily over-represented.

Outside the main pool, a number of Yale students come from Changsha and Ningbo,swhereseach year American Yale graduates are sent to teach English.

The overwhelming majority of Chinese undergraduates in the US major in science, engineering or economics.

Many were academic superstars in their high schools - gold medallists in international academic Olympiads or prize winners in national academic contests.

Once on US campuses, many of them decide to make research a lifelong commitment.

Life outside the classroom constitutes an important part of college life.

At American universities the average student spends less than thirteen hours a week in class.

Many Chinese students use their spare time to pick up some extra pocket money.

At Yale, one of the most common campus jobs is washing dishes in the dining halls.

Virtually all Chinese undergraduates at Yale work part-time in the dining halls at some point in their college years.

As they grow in age and sophistication, they upgrade to better-paying and less stressful positions.

The more popular and interesting jobs include working as a computer assistant, math homework grader, investment office assistant and lab or research assistant.

The latter three often lead to stimulating summer jobs.

Student activities are another prominent feature of American college life.

Each week there are countless student-organized events of all sorts - athletic, artistic, cultural, political or social ( for fun).

New student organizations are constantly being created, and Chinese undergrads contribute to this ferment.

Sport looms much larger on US campuses than in China.

At Yale, intramural sports from soccer to water polo take place all year long; hence athletic talent is a real social asset.

One of the Chinese students at Yale several years ago was a versatile sportsman.

His athletic talents and enthusiastic participation in sporting events, combined with his other fine qualities, made him a popular figure in his residential college.

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living.

I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.

It doesn’t interest me how old you are.

I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon.

I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain!

It doesn’t interest me if the story you’re telling me is true.

I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul.

if you can be faithful and therefore be trustworthy.

It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have.

I want to know if you can get up after a night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done for the children.

It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied.

I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.

I want to know if you can be alone with yourself, and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

It doesn’t interest me who you are, how you came to be here.

I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.

I want to know if you can sit with pain, without moving to hide it

I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, or to remember the limitations of being human.

I want to know if you can see beauty , if you can source your life from god’s presence.

I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of a lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes!”

there were a sensitivity and a beauty to her that have nothing to do with looks.

She was one to be listened to, whose words were so easy to take to heart.

I have thought about her often over the years and how she struggled in a society that places an incredible premium on looks, class, wealth and all the other fineries of life.

She suffered from a disfigurement that cannot be made to look attractive.

I know that her condition hurt her deeply.

Would her life have been different had she been pretty? Chances are it would have.

And yet there were a sensitivity and a beauty to her that had nothing to do with looks.

She was one to be listened to, whose words were so easy to take to heart.

Her words came from a wounded but loving heart, very much like all hearts, but she had more of a need to be aware of it, to live with it and learn from it.

She possessed a fine-tuned sense of beauty.

Her only fear in life was the loss of a friend.

It is said that the true nature of being is veiled.

The labor of words, the expression of art, the seemingly ceaseless buzz that is human thought all have in common the need to get at what really is so.

The hope to draw close to and possess the truth of being can be a feverish one.

In some cases it can even be fatal, if pleasure is one's truth and its attainment more important than life itself.

In other lives, though, the search for what is truthful gives life.

The truth of her life was a desire to see beyond the surface for a glimpse of what it is that matters.

She found beauty and grace and they befriended her, and showed her what is real.
