Our Future: A Battle between Dreams
and Reality
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen:
When I was in the primary school, I
have a dream. I want to invent a device which could bring you from
one place to another in no time at all. When I was in the secondary
school, my dream was to study in my ideal university. And when
eventually I got into the university, my dream was to
graduate.
How pathetic! When we grow up, we

Our Future: A Battle between Dreams
and Reality
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen:
When I was in the primary school, I
have a dream. I want to invent a device which could bring you from
one place to another in no time at all. When I was in the secondary
school, my dream was to study in my ideal university. And when
eventually I got into the university, my dream was to
graduate.
How pathetic! When we grow up, we
dream less and become more realistic. Why? Why do we have to change
our dreams, so, so in order to let it be 'fulfilled'? Why do we
have to surrender to the so-called 'reality'? What IS the reality
actually?
Ladies and gentlemen, the reality is
not real. It is a barrier keeping us from all the possible
fantasies. Flying, for example, had been a dream to mankind for
thousands of years. A hundred years ago, 'man could not fly' was
still regarded as the 'reality'. Now if that was really the
reality, what did the Wright brothers do? How did some of you get
to Macau? Only when we believe that the reality is not real can we
soar with our dreams.
People say that our future is a
battle between the reality and our dreams. And if, unfortunately,
Mr. Reality wins this war, then I see no future of mankind at all.
AIDS will never be curable as this IS the reality; People living in
the undeveloped countries will suffer from starvation forever as
this IS the reality; Disputes among different countries would never
be settled as this misunderstandings and intolerance IS the
reality.
Ladies and gentlemen, how many of you
have a dream of being able to make a lot of money? Please raise
your hands. Oh, quite a number of you! Actually, ladies and
gentlemen, this is not a dream, but a task. Every one of us has to
make a living, right? Anyway I hope your task will be accomplished.
How many of you think that you have already fulfilled your dream
and that you don't dream anymore? Dear adjudicators, what do you
think? C.S. Lewis once said, 'You are never too old to dream a new
dream.' So for our future, please dream and be
unrealistic.
Now that I am a university student,
my goal is to graduate with excellences. But at the same time, I
have a dream deeply rooted in our future. One day, people living in
the areas now sweltering with the horror of wars will be able to
sit with their families and enjoy their every moment. One day,
people from the rich countries are willing to share what they have
with those from the poor countries and those from the poor
countries will eventually be able to make their own happy living
themselves. One day, different cultures in this age of
globalization will coexist with tolerance and the unfriendly
confrontations among them will be eliminated. One day, the globe
will share the dream with me and we will all contribute to making
our dream come true. One day, our dream will defeat the reality!
Thank you very much.

曹丰：活跃在水立方的香港志愿者
转自：清华大学法学院
曹丰，作为一名香港学生，来到清华园已经快三年了。来自法学院的他,在别人看来似乎总有用不完的旺盛精力。从英语演讲比赛夺冠、参加一系列内地香港交流活动，到现在全身心地投入北京奥运会志愿者的系列工作中，他怀着“燃烧青春”的信念与激情，带着温暖的微笑一路走来。在桃李园地下餐厅一个多小时的采访中，曹丰态度谦和，始终带着一脸灿烂的笑容，给人感觉就是一个阳光开朗的大男孩。
“感谢水立方，真的非常感谢水立方...我现在会不能自控地微笑，名副其实的抽风了...”
记者：介绍一下你在水立方的工作吧！
曹：我所在的运行支持小组,每天负责各个运行小组的物资分发与接收，在人手紧缺的时候提供替岗人员，以保证整个业务口的正常运行。我们被称作“志愿者的志愿者”。同时,我还幸运的是六百多的观众服务志愿者中四个信息通讯员之一，负责协调观众服务业务口之内以及与其他业务口之间通过集群电话(即对讲机)的通讯。
记者：你连续参加了两场测试赛，寒假回家时间非常短，为什么能如此投入呢？
曹：一开始决定当志愿者，说是因为民族自豪感一点也不夸张。那时并不是发自内心的喜欢，因为这毕竟会影响到寒假回香港与家里人团聚。
在第一场测试赛进行到一半时，我才开始真正喜欢上这份工作，也才开始期待每天和队友们并肩迎接新的挑战。于是我推掉了原本要回香港参加的由政府举办的一些活动，临时决定了继续参加第二场测试赛。虽然寒假回香港过春节的时间因此只剩下一个星期了，但我觉得自己的付出是值得的，一想到能够再次与队友们在水立方共同进退我就很兴奋。对我而
