Harvard student William? James said at the opening of 1903. The real Harvard is an invisible Harvard. It is hidden in the souls of those students who pursue truth more. The most admirable thing about this institution is that lonely thinkers will not feel so lonely, but will be enriched. ? Indeed, in Harvard, truth is placed in a very important position, and the process of learning is the process of seeking truth. The process of constantly mastering knowledge and exploring the world is the process of constantly approaching the truth. ? Be friends with Plato, Aristotle and, above all, truth. ? Williams? Amy's famous words and Harvard's motto provide Harvard students with the first criterion for learning and being a man. It can be seen that Harvard's motto emphasizes two points: Harvard attaches importance to tradition and believes that great traditions contain far-reaching wisdom, so it is unlikely that Harvard will have a completely anti-traditional and completely anti-historical madness.

He felt obliged to tell the truth and expose the bad phenomena in society and the bad thoughts in people's hearts. Even if you are hit or treated unfairly, you should stick to your own ideas and statements. He thinks, as a scholar, what is its fundamental task? Free and brave to reveal the truth from the appearance of things, so as to inspire, improve and guide people? .
Through Harvard? Seeking truth and worshiping truth?

Self-reliance, self-esteem, self-help, personality? The point of view. Believe in yourself, right? Pursuing the truth? Under the influence of the banner, pursue and stick to the road that you think is right.
