2016 Chinese New Year Speech from APUS Captain Li Tao

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

First of all, Happy Chinese New Year!

After careful consideration and much thought, I would like to give you all 3 little assignments for this Chinese New Year holiday:

Firstly, please take care of your family and parents more, spent less time looking at your mobile and spend more quality time with your beloved ones. Make them smile and be loved by you, even stop to look at your parent's white hairs if they have any.

Secondly, in your free time, read more books which would guide us, nourish our mind and point us into the right direction - especially books that bring a spark in our life and same time worthy of exploration. Do not always read books that involve mere business and management subjects or related to your current job, but widen your perspective and read heavy books and novels which embark on decades of human civilization history and meaning.

Lastly, reflect on these questions:

What am I going after in my life?

Where does my passion lie?

What do I care about?

Who touches me at my heart?

What would ache my heart?

What is my faith?

What kind of man/woman would I like to become?

What do I want to get from APUS?

In 5 years where do, I see myself? Who will I be?

You may not easily find the answers to these questions, However, All I want to say is: Think and reflect carefully on these when the deep nights of New Year’s Eve and when the fireworks are in the sky.

In your pursuit of success: Stop to think for a minute and look back at the road you took in life, then look ahead into the future and your life goal. Recall moments in your life that deeply touched your heart & core before.

you took in life, then look ahead into the future and your life goal. Recall moments in your life that deeply touched your heart & core before.

Finally, I wish everyone a Happy Chinese New Year. All the best wishes for the coming Monkey’s year!

Please send my regards to your parents and grandparents as well!
