“天下难事，必作于易；天下大事，必作于细。”成功的背后，永远是艰辛努力。青年要把艰苦环境作为磨炼自己的机遇，把小事当作大事干，一步一个脚印往前走。滴水可以穿石。只要坚韧不拔、百折不挠，成功就一定在前方等你。

 ——《习近平谈治国理政》第一卷

“Difficult things are done starting from easy ones; a greatundertaking begins with minor work.” No matter what you opt to do, successalways favors hard workers. Young people should take a difficult environment asa challenge or test. “Little strokes fell great oaks.” Success awaits those whowork doggedly and unyieldingly, and those who are never daunted by repeatedsetbacks.

 

展望未来，我国青年一代必将大有可为，也必将大有作为。这是“长江后浪推前浪”的历史规律，也是“一代更比一代强”的青春责任。广大青年要勇敢肩负起时代赋予的重任，志存高远，脚踏实地，努力在实现中华民族伟大复兴的中国梦的生动实践中放飞青春梦想。

Looking ahead, we can see that our youngergeneration has a promising future, and will accomplish much. It is a law ofhistory that “the waves of the Yangtze River from behind drive on those ahead,”and it is the responsibility of young people to surpass their elders. Youngpeople need to boldly assume the heavy responsibilities that the times imposeon you, aim high, be practical and realistic, and put your youthful dreams intoaction in the course of realizing the Chinese Dream of the rejuvenation of theChinese nation.
