　　在這場講座上，Lin E Giralt教授通過不斷的反問句式，直擊學生內(nèi)心深處。

　　“你為什么要上大學？是為了生命需要讀到那個年紀或者是一張文憑嗎？還是為了離開父母，去培養(yǎng)你自己的個性（personality）”

　　“你真的需要學歷嗎？是為了跟隨（follow）別人，還是真的喜歡學習？”

　　“你有重視自己的領(lǐng)導力培養(yǎng)嗎？目標設(shè)定、戰(zhàn)略制定、決策制定、組織結(jié)構(gòu)、組織設(shè)計、領(lǐng)導、動機、個人差異、人力資源管理——以上這些你又擅長哪些？”

　　By means of rhetorical questions, Professor Giralt went to the heart of the matter and caused the students to think a little deeper about their future studies.

　　“Why are you going to college? Is it because you have reached a certain age or is for a degree? Do you just want to leave home, be independent and cultivate your own personality? ”

　　“Do you really need a degree? Is it to simply follow what others are doing or do you love learning?”

　　“Do you attach importance to leadership? Goal-setting, strategizing, decision-making, organizational structure and design, innovation, leadership, motivation, dealing with diverse personalities in human resource management — what is YOUR forte?

　　這些問題雖然簡單，許多學生表示從未想過這類問題，但是當聽到Lin E Giralt教授提問時，才發(fā)覺自己竟然連基本的問題都沒有思考清楚，內(nèi)心被深深的震撼到了。

　　Although these questions were very simple, many students admitted that they had never given much thought to them, but when the professor raised these questions, they were startled to realize that they didn’t have all the answers.

　　學生陳嘉琪表示：Lin E Giralt教授是一位讓人聽過他講座就會立即喜歡他的人，他的思想深刻，看問題的視角犀利。雖然Lin E Giralt教授并沒有告訴我們第一步如何遞交材料，第二步如何博得面試官好感之類的話，但是他通過不斷的提問，教育我們：申請美國大學之前要弄清楚自己想要達到什么樣的目標，想要成為什么樣的人，做事一定要問我們內(nèi)心。Lin E Giralt教授就是這樣一位將答案蘊含在提問中的睿智長者，令人敬仰。

　　Student Chen Jiaqi said: “Professor Giralt is a very personable man. His thoughts are profound and the perspective of the questions he raised showed a keen understanding of students and studying. Although he didn’t give us detailed stepson how to submit documentation or succeed in the interview process, through continuous questioning, he educated us. Before applying toAmerican universities, we should first ascertain what it is that we wish to achieve: your goal, what kind of person you want to be…h(huán)ellip;this is what must be settled in your heart. Professor Giralt cleverly provided many answers by posing these questions; this is indeed admirable.”
