EMBA (中外合作办学) 2024级春季班新生代表樊震

EMBA 2024级春季班新生代表樊震分享了他的三个主题思考：认清周期、百战归来再读书、锻炼身体享受生活。他提到，作为中国经济繁荣时代的见证者和受益者，我们需要认清当前经济周期的衰退或萧条阶段，顺势而为，努力提升自己。读书和锻炼不仅是提升人生宽度和长度的途径，更是应对经济周期波动的策略。

Fan Zhen, representative of the new cohort of the EMBA 2024 Spring class, shared his reflections on three themes: recognizing economic cycles, returning to studies after gaining rich experiences, and maintaining physical fitness to enjoy life. He emphasized that as witnesses and beneficiaries of China’s economic prosperity, we should adeptly recognize that the current economic cycle may enter a phase of recession or downturn. In this context, we need to act accordingly and proactively enhance our abilities to face potential challenges. He further noted that during fluctuating economic cycles, seizing additional opportunities and engaging in systematic learning and practical application of theories are crucial. Through learning, we can improve our ability to judge and think independently, thereby enhancing our professional levels and ethical standards. Additionally, learning helps us resist external restlessness, maintaining inner peace and steadfastness. Studying and exercising are not only effective ways to enhance the length and breadth of life, but also strategies to cope with economic fluctuations.

他鼓励大家积极应对挑战，通过学习和锻炼不断提升自己，为未来的职业发展做好准备。樊震的分享既是对自己的自勉，也是对同学们的共勉，激励大家认清周期，积极成长。

He encouraged everyone to actively face challenges, continuously improve through learning and exercise, and prepare for future career developments.
