Features: With a history of nearly 800 years, the ancient University of Cambridge not only imparts knowledge of science, visiting China, and the arts to students but also places great emphasis on teaching life wisdom and philosophy. With a broad and inclusive spirit, it gathers the essence of human wisdom and passes it on to its students one by one. As ordinary people, we may not all have the opportunity to study at this world-renowned university, but we can fully bask in the light of life wisdom it radiates. For this very purpose, we have compiled this book, "Life Philosophy Taught by Cambridge Professors."
At the world-renowned University of Cambridge, there are three ancient arched gates. The first is named the "Gate of Humility," the second the "Gate of Virtue," and the third the "Gate of Honor." Among the students who have passed through these three gates, 78 have won the Nobel Prize, three have become British Prime Ministers, and three have respectively become Prime Ministers of India, Malaysia, and Singapore. Why can the University of Cambridge produce such a brilliant array of stars? The reason lies in the fact that it not only teaches students knowledge but, more importantly, imparts to them the great wisdom of life. This book conducts an in-depth study of the speeches and articles by numerous outstanding professors and renowned scholars of Cambridge over the past 800 years regarding life wisdom and the art of living. We have humbly sought advice from the professors of Cambridge on a series of major life issues. It is as if we have entered the sacred hall of knowledge at the University of Cambridge, listening to the wise voices of its professors.
