To encourage cultivation of individual thinking for youngsters so as to further push forward country’s advancement and reformation, Christian Gospel Mission (CGM) hosted a lecture called “Are You Ready for University?” at Hualien CYC Hostel yesterday. The lecturer was Ming-shun Cheng who gives college speaking tours in Taiwan, proposing innovative ideas and habits which can lead to success. “Young people have the power to influence the world,” Cheng pointed out, “as long as they uncover and excel their individual values. Everyone can become a true hero.”

Cheng further stated, “The times test the youth; the youth creates the times.” The intellectuals often play an important role in the growing progress of a country. They possess a strong sense of humanistic concern and are the nation’s advocates of standing up against the injustice done to their country and people. They are also an important force on the social and economic developments. In Europe and in the States, the amount of education or college attendance has become an important reference to determine a nation’s strength. Thus, youngsters have been given a sacred and great mission in this time period.

CGM looks forward to help youngsters to rebuild self-confidence and establish correct values in order to face the challenges that come from international competition. By hosting speeches about how to succeed in college education, CGM hopes to help youngsters to get rid of the “fast food” type of mindset and be more prepared with a renewed mindset for the upcoming semester in university.
