Once upon a time, there were two birds, Anderson and Johnson. They were brothers and lived in a forest. Anderson lived near a cave(洞穴) where some robbers(强盗) lived. Johnson lived near the house of a kind old man.

One day, a hunter(猎人) came to the forest. Unluckily, he lost his way and didn't know where he was. He was very tired, so he sat down under a tree that was near a cave. At that time, he heard someone shouting, “Hurry up! There's someone sitting under the tree. Come and take his money!” The hunter was startled(惊吓) by the voice. He looked up and saw a big brown bird in the tree. He also saw some people coming out of the cave. He quickly stood up and ran away as fast as he could.

Soon, he came to the place where the kind old man lived. He saw a big tree and sat down to have a rest. However, he heard a friendly voice saying, “Welcome, sir. Please come in and make yourself at home.” The hunter looked up and saw another big brown bird in the tree. He was surprised. “This one looks just like the other bird near the cave,” he said.

“He is my brother, sir,” said the bird. “He made friends with those robbers.” Just then, the old man came out of his house. “Welcome, sir,” he said to the hunter. “Please come in and make yourself at home.” The hunter told the old man about the two birds he met and how different they were. The old man smiled and said, “One takes the behavior of one's company(近朱者赤,近墨者黑).”

Ladies and gentleman,

Welcome to Boston University on such a beautiful Friday night.

My name is Yujing Cai, and I am a graduate from the Master of Mathematical Finance program. I come from Nanjing, China, one of the oldest cities in the world. Right now, my family is sitting somewhere over there. 45. They travelled across half of the earth to attend their daughter’s graduation ceremony. And they are watching me giving a speech in a language they don’t understand. Therefore, I am tremendously honored to share my perspective of 6 years at the Questrom School of Business.

46. The thing I always enjoyed doing was looking at the different country flags in the hall. Sometimes my friends and I even have silly competitions going on to see who knew more flags and it often amazed me how many different cultures and nationalities are represented in our community.

In the past 6 years here. 47. 我很自豪见证了我们学校的成长。 from School of Management to Questrom School of Business, and that our community is growing stronger and better each year, and this couldn’t have happened without the effort of everyone here to share, to inspire, and to embrace each other.

Let’s now think about the future. 48. 没有人知道我们将会面临什么样的挑战。But we are sure that we will need a diverse(多样的) set of skills and knowledge. 49. And the most important of all is that we need an open mind to learn. That’s why we have been so lucky to be part of the Questrom community that cultivated such freedom of an open mind.

So, congratulations, class of 2017! For when you walk outside that door today, you are already equipped with one of the most critical skills to succeed in the future, the ability to embrace diversity. Thank you so much!
