Here is some of his advice to young people:“One suggestion Id like to give you is that its important to do what you like without fear of failure. And the process（过程）of working toward your dreams matters more than the results. Young people should take chances to show off talents. Take competitions like this one as an example: If you are afraid to fail, youll never get the chance to stand on the stage and make a speech. Above all, its most important to take part.Another suggestion I want to give you is to read books. It is not easy to keep reading every day. For me, it is much more difficult and challenging to keep reading and taking notes every day than it is to walk 10,000 steps.”In his speech, Yu also shared his view on life. He chose a different life rather than a more successful one. He uses the famous lines of American poet Robert Frost (18741963) to make his point:“Two roads diverged (分叉) in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.”Yu pointed out, “Your happiness should not be what others think you should run after, but instead you should decide what it is. It is you who should make choices for your own life.”Yu Minhongs speech to young peopleHis advice He thinks the process is more _than results,so young people should take chances to show off their _.
