You just need to take the little step that’s right in front of you, and then the next one, and a few years down the track, they will seem like massive achievements.通往目的地的路不止一條，有很多路可走。你只需要邁出眼前這一小步，然後再邁出下一步，幾年下來，將會成為巨大成就。文章來自於New Humans of Australia (有取得授權)★★★★★★★★★★★★I didn’t meet my father until I was 6 years old. My parents had a comfortable, middle-class life in Shanghai, or as close as you could get under communism. But they always wanted to live overseas, and just before I was born, my dad came to Sydney to set things up. I don’t know why, but in the end, my mother and I didn’t join him until I was 6. •a middle-class life 中產階級生活•set things up 打點一切•live overseas 往海外生活•in the end 最後 (表達在經過一段時間或一連串事件之後的結果)直到六歲前我都未曾見過父親。我的雙親在上海過著舒適的中產階級生活，或著說，在共產階級下所能得到的最接近的生活。他們一直響往海外生活，就在我出生前，我父親來到雪梨打點一切。但不知何故，直到六歲那年我與母親才終於與父親團聚。★★★★★★★★★★★★Unfortunately, half a year after we arrived, he left us. That was a huge shock. Our transition had already been quite difficult, as we both didnt speak English. Also, as Shanghai was such a big bustling city, Sydney felt a bit like the countryside, especially on the weekends, as no shops were open back then!•shock 令人震驚的事件（或經歷）；驚愕，震驚 (come as a great shock 讓人倍感震驚)•transition 轉變；過渡•a bustling city 繁華都會不幸的是，就在我跟母親抵達半年後，父親離開了我們。這是個巨大的打擊，因爲我們不會說英文，在適應過渡期本就已過得相當艱辛。此外，不同於上海的繁華都會，雪梨更像鄉下，尤其在週末，那時連商店都不開門。★★★★★★★★★★★★We were very much reliant on my dad, not only financially, but also as a conduit into the wider community. So to have that broken was quite distressing. I remember Mum crying a lot. As we had become socially isolated, we didn’t find out anything about Centrelink, so we survived on her savings for a while, and then got some help from her family back in China. •be reliant on… 依賴...•a conduit into 進入...的渠道•distressing (adj.) 令人苦惱的,令人擔憂的•become socially isolated 變得孤立於社會•survive on her savings 僅靠的她積蓄過日子我們相當依賴我父親，不僅是經濟，他也是我們進入更廣泛社區的渠道。因此，當局面被打破時令人相當痛苦，我還記得母親時常哭泣。由於我們孤立於社會，所以我們並不知道澳洲社會福利聯絡中心 （Centrelink）的任何資訊，僅靠母親的積蓄支撐了一段時間，然後從母親在中國的娘家得到一些幫助。★★★★★★★★★★★★Eventually, Mum moved us down to Melbourne, where we were able to make some new networks and family friendships. But I was bullied a bit at school about things like my food and clothing! Whenever someone bullied me, I would defend myself, but because I didn’t have the language skills to explain to the teacher why, I got in trouble quite a bit. I ended up having to move school 3 times before I came to Balwyn Primary School, which was relatively multicultural. •be able to 能夠•make new networks 建立新的人脈，關係網•be bullied 被霸凌•language skills 語言能力•get in trouble 惹上麻煩•end up  最後處於；最後成爲；以…告終•relatively 相對地•multicultural 多元文化的最後，母親帶著我搬遷到墨爾本，在那我們能夠建立起新的網絡與家庭情誼。然而。我在學校飽受霸凌，例如我的食物及衣物。每當有人霸凌我，我會自我防衛，但我的語言技巧不足以向老師解釋事發原因，因此常常陷入麻煩。後來我不得不再三轉學，直到就讀相對多元文化的博文小學（Balwyn Primary School）。★★★★★★★★★★★★After that, I did alright. Music featured very prominently in my life. I had started learning the violin from the age of 2.5 years old and even with all the troubles that were going on in my life, had somehow still kept up with it. As a result, I got a music scholarship to Trinity Grammar School. But even there I used to get into quite a lot of mischief, and would often skip school to go to the movies.•do alight 過得不錯，做的不錯•feature (v.) 以…為特色；給…以顯著的地位•prominently 重要地；著名地；突出地，顯眼地之後，我便過得不錯。音樂在我生活中佔有重要的一席之地，我從兩歲半開始學習小提琴，儘管生活中事事不如意，我依然堅持不輟。因此，我獲得三一文法學校（ Trinity Grammar School）的音樂獎學金。但即使在那，我也常惡作劇、逃學看電影。★★★★★★★★★★★★By the end of year 11, I was told I would have to either repeat the year, or consider going to another school, which was quite humiliating for my mum. I decided to move school and surprisingly, I ended up doing quite well in year 12! As a result, I ended up getting into a double degree in Law and Music at Monash. •repeat the year 留級 ; 重唸一年•humiliating 令人感到恥辱的，丟臉的11年級結束時，我被告知要麽被留級，要麼考慮轉學，這對我母親來說相當丟人。我決定轉學，而令人驚訝的是，我在12年級的時候表現優異，最後錄取蒙納士大學法律與音樂雙學位。★★★★★★★★★★★★When I started, my first thought was that I didn’t belong because I had done so badly in school up to year 11 and everyone else seemed so smart. But I put my head down, got through it, and ended up getting a job in the legal department of a major manufacturing company, which was a different approach to what most law students do. •do not belong 不屬於這•put my head down 埋頭苦幹•the legal department of ...的法律部門•a different approach 不同途徑 •approach （思考問題的）方式，方法，態度當我開始進入大學，最初的想法是我不屬於這，因為我在11年級前都表現不佳，而這裡的人似乎都聰明絕頂。但我埋頭苦幹，咬牙撐過，最後在一家大型製造公司的法律部門找到工作，這與多數法律系學生的途徑不同。★★★★★★★★★★★★I really enjoyed it. It was hard work, but I learned a lot of foundational business, legal and corporate communication skills. After that I worked in corporate governance in RMIT, then started to moonlight as a lecturer in the Law Faculty. Eventually, they asked me if I wanted to do a PhD and I blindly said yes! I next worked at Swinburne University, and then was head-hunted to lead the corporate legal team at the Commercial Passenger Vehicles Commission.•foundational 基礎的•communication skills 溝通技巧•corporate governance•moonlight (v.) （尤指瞞著僱主）從事第二職業，兼職•headhunt (v.) 物色（人才）； 挖角•legal team 法律團隊我非常喜歡這份工作，這是份辛苦的工作，但我學習了很多基礎商業、法律以及公司溝通技巧。之後我在皇家墨爾本理工大學（ RMIT）從事公司治理工作，並開始兼職擔任法律系講師。後來他們問我是否想要讀博士，我便盲目地答應了。接下來，我在斯威本大學（Swinburne University）工作，再被挖角到商用小客車委員會領導法律團隊。★★★★★★★★★★★★I had a good life, but after a while, I realised I wanted a different kind of job. I could see my seniors were making a lot of money but that their family life was not that good. And looking at my own upbringing, I wanted to be the kind of father who could be present in my own kids’ lives. So I decided on dentistry. It would not only allow me to use the hand skills that I had developed from playing the violin, but also the analytical and reasoning skills that Id developed in law. Plus it would be flexible, and offer me a stable income and the chance to meet different people every day!•upbringing 教養•decide on sth 決定某事或東西•analytical and reasoning skills 分析和推理能力•offer a stable income 提供穩定收入我的生活很不錯，但一段時間後，我意識到自己想要一份不同的工作。我知道前輩們賺了很多錢，但他們的家庭生活並不美滿。看著自己的成長經歷，我想要成為可以在孩子生活中出席的父親，所以我決定改行當牙醫。這項職業能讓我使用從拉小提琴中發展出的手部技巧，也能運用我在法律中發展出的分析與推理技能。此外，這個職業相當靈活，能為我提供穩定收入，並有機會每天與不同的人見面。★★★★★★★★★★★★My now fiancée, who was my girlfriend at the time, was also applying for further study, and coincidentally we both got into university in South Australia, so we moved to Adelaide together a few years ago.•fiancée 未婚妻•at the time 當時•apply for 申請•further study 繼續教育，進修；進一步研究；深造•coincidentally 碰巧地；巧合地我的未婚妻，當時的女友，也申請繼續深造，巧的是我們都考上南澳大學（University of South Australia)，所以幾年前一起搬到阿得雷德（ Adelaide）。★★★★★★★★★★★★I was lucky to get a university job at Flinders University. Initially, I started out as a casual lecturer in the law school, but I’ve since transitioned into teaching health law and research, and I’m currently writing a few books on the intersection between law and medicine. And also, obviously, trying to finish my dentistry degree! •start out as… 起初擔任...•transition into… 轉變到...我很幸運的在福林德斯大學（Flinders University）找到工作，起初我在法學院擔任臨時講師，但我後來轉換到醫事法教學及研究。目前我正撰寫幾本關於法律與醫學相接的書籍，並努力完成我的牙醫學位。★★★★★★★★★★★★Mum eventually retrained as a Chinese high school teacher, and she’s still teaching to this day. Like most first generation migrants, she struggled quite a lot, and invested heavily in my success. After we’re married, my fiancée and I are planning to have children, and I’m sure they will have it much easier than I did. •retrain 重新培養；再培訓；再訓練•to this day 至今•first generation migrants 第一代移民•struggle a lot 掙扎奮鬥許久•have it much easier 過的比較輕鬆我的母親最終重新接受培訓，成為一名中文高中老師並執教至今。如同大多數第一代移民，她掙扎奮鬥許久，並為我的成功投資甚多。我與未婚妻打算婚後生孩子，我確信孩子會過的比我輕鬆得多。★★★★★★★★★★★★Still, a lot of the failures that I’ve had in my life have really informed a lot of my successes. Looking back, I wouldnt really want to change that to have a smoother life. •inform [正式] 影響某人的態度或意見 https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/inform•have a smoother life 有一個更順遂的人生我的生活中的種種失敗確實為我的成功提供借鑑。回首過去，我不會想要改變那些坎坷經歷去擁有一個更順遂的人生。★★★★★★★★★★★★Over the years, Ive learned that perseverance is very important. I hope that through telling my story, I can be an example to others who might be in a similar position as I was: to show that theres not just one road to the destination, but many roads. You just need to take the little step that’s right in front of you, and then the next one, and a few years down the track, they will seem like massive achievements.•over the years 多年來•perseverance 不屈不撓，堅持不懈•be an example 成為榜樣•be in a similar position 處於相似的處境•down the road/line/track 將來(的路)多年來，我學到堅持不懈是至關重要的。我希望透過講述自己的故事，能成為其他可能與我有相似處境的人的榜樣：向他們展示通往目的地的路不止一條，有很多路可走。你只需要邁出眼前這一小步，然後再邁出下一步，幾年下來，將會成為巨大成就。有興趣的同學可以支持New Humans of Australia www.patreon.com/newhumansofaustraliaPhotographer: Paul Heinrich instagram.com/paulfheinrich文章與圖片出處: https://bit.ly/2XJsciq★★★★★★★★★★★★翻轉視界: http://bit.ly/3fPvKUs 批判性思考問題大全: http://bit.ly/34rdtJ7

Accepted Answer

【國立臺灣大學 109學年度畢業典禮 貴賓致詞】Commencement Address, National Taiwan University Commencement 2021    .巨大集團 羅祥安前執行長Giant Group Former CEO Anthony Lo管校長，羅副校長，各位貴賓，畢業生的家長跟朋友們，還有今天最重要的2021年臺大的畢業生，大家早安、大家好！首先恭喜你們，今天從全世界最優秀大學之一的臺灣大學畢業了！在過去幾年，在管校長，以「大學教改」和「國際化」的理念，率領全體師生的努力之下，臺大在全世界的能見度，和各項排名，都有顯著的進步，也讓身為校友的我們倍感光榮。是不是我們大家一起鼓掌，給自己鼓勵一下好不好！你們今天剛剛畢業，但是你們已經創造了臺大一項新的紀錄：第一次，沒有傳統畢業典禮的畢業生。這將是你們人生一個非常特別的回憶，也預表了你們未來將會有與眾不同的表現，和非凡的成就。現在的世界，局勢是在東方跟西方的勢力，彼此對抗而動盪不安。而全世界的經濟活動，也因為科技的突破性創新，而受到很大的影響。不盡理想的、不盡公平的全球化，也將逐漸地變成 全球在地化。而COVID-19肆虐全球的結果，使得臺灣跟全世界，大家的生活型態、社會的結構、經濟活動的節奏都被打亂了，而必須要加以全面的整理跟重新的架構。這當然是一個危機，但是更是一個絕好的機會。所以，將你們迎面而來的，是無數的創新的機會，以及冒險卻令人興奮的全新挑戰。因為臺灣，這是第一次跟全世界各個國家，同步的站在一個嶄新的共同起跑點上面。所以我要恭喜你們，你們躬逢其會，將要進入一個充滿希望、嶄新的時代。我是1969年從臺大畢業的，所以我想今天就以我畢業之後的50多年，人生的一些學習和體會，來跟諸位分享，給諸位作個參考。當我大學畢業的時候，我滿懷抱負，迫不及待地想要大展身手，我當時進入臺灣最大的貿易公司工作，但是我發現我所學的很多東西，只有一些國際貿易的實務跟英文有用，至於其他我所學習到的經營管理的很多知識，恐怕都要等到10年、20年之後，如果我有幸當上高級主管才能派上用場。更諷刺的是，我是商學系畢業的，但是工作兩年後，我發現我真的不喜歡做商人，我也不喜歡做生意，我有興趣的是做事業。後來，幸好我有聆聽我心裡面的微弱的聲音，決定踏進自行車業，放棄掉台北最好的貿易公司的金飯碗，而去參加在大甲一個只有38個人的小公司，來追求我的夢想。那時候許多人認為我腦筋有問題，頭殼壞去，但現在回顧回來，我當時是做了人生一個非常好的決定。創業的過程飽受艱辛，但是我也學到了很多寶貴的經驗：我首先學到的，是在做事之前，必須要先學做人。人必須要誠信踏實，不能自私自利，而要利他共好。要隨時心存感恩，尊重、關切別人。要熱愛這個世界，並且要了解到一個人的能力是有限的，而必須要去建立互信、互助的人際關係；要融入群體、要發揮團隊的精神。在做事方面，一定要以正面積極的態度，認真努力去工作。 而且不要怕失敗，要勇於接受新的挑戰。因為如果有失敗了，那只是代表說你又更靠近成功一步了。要作中學，學中作，要虛心好奇的終身學習，開拓挑戰、追求卓越。在這裡，我想要送給大家一個很特別的畢業禮物，就是兩個「成功的錦囊」。第一個錦囊：不管你做什麼工作，不論你職務的高低，永遠都要站在顧客的立場，來為他們設想，還能做什麼，讓他們能夠得到更多的創新價值。第二個錦囊：無論作什麼工作，不管你職務的高低，永遠都要站在經營者的角度來為公司設想，要做什麼，才能讓公司更健康，永續經營跟發展。既使你們把我後面講的很多東西都忘記了，沒關係，但是這個畢業禮物你們一定要記得帶回去，因為這些「同理心」的兩個錦囊，在未來會給你們帶來意想不到的祝福！其次我體會到，名跟利都是副產品。正產品是你成為什麼樣的人，成就什麼樣的事。當正產品是對的時候，名跟利都自然會來。所以我鼓勵大家在找工作的時候，不要太計較開始的薪水和待遇。因為事實上，一個新人，在前面三年是很難有大的貢獻的，反過來只是公司發薪水來給你培訓而已。所以選擇一個有意義的行業，找一家你可以學習進步的好公司，這才是重要的。第三，我學習到 知識不等於智慧。諸位都學有專精，有很多寶貴的知識，但這些知識必須要實際去做才能夠產生經驗，而累積的時候會有不同經驗的反省、學習、跟體會，尤其是從那些失敗的經 驗，才能夠漸漸地凝結成有用的智慧。我的成長過程分成三段，開始我是一個「I」型的人，我擁有一些經營管理的基本的能力。後來因為工作的需要和我的好奇心，我漸漸地學習到技術開發、製造生產、品牌推廣、全球經營、以及行銷、服務等等寶貴的經驗，這樣漸漸地，我就形成一個「T」型的一個跨界的人才。但是到了我真正找到公司未來的使命跟方向，並且把它跟我的人生目標結合在一起，熱情的、積極去推動的時候，那時候我終於成為一個「十字架」型的一個領導者。當公司發展得比較穩定之後，我就面臨要如何來替公司規劃願景、使命、定位，跟長期策略。在這個階段，我有一些新的體會：首先，你必須要能夠畫出一個「黃金正三角形」，正三角形是最穩定的，上面是戰略，中間是戰術，下面是戰鬥。先要有正確的戰略，才能衍伸出有效的戰術，再根據這個戰術去貫徹戰鬥的執行。換言之，戰略就是做對的事情，戰術就是對的方法，戰鬥就是用對的方法去把事情做對做好，並且不斷地去持續改善。想要能夠思考出長期的戰略，就必須要有洞察力。我很喜歡看地球儀，就是那種在一個架子上面，有一個可以轉動的地球模型。當你把地球轉動的時候，你看到上面每一個地方、每一個國家，它的地理位置、它的自然生態，以及你思考它的歷史的演變跟它的發展，這樣子你就能夠得出一個整體的，跟全方位的一個概念。在思考長期戰略的時候，很不容易得出一個有突破性的一個創見，它的原因往往是因為「當局者迷」的關係。所以當我考慮長期戰略的時候，我會把自己設想，好像從一個人造衛星上面，來觀看一個轉動的地球。以宇宙格局的高度，以全球視野的廣度，以歷史演進的長度，這樣子你就能夠以一個「旁觀者清」的姿態和角度，來正面、反面深入思考，這樣子你就可能得到一個突破性的一個解答。「世界的捷安特」跟「全球在地化」的品牌經營—這樣子的策略、願景就是這樣產生的。另外一種洞察力，是如何推出給人們有創新價值的產品跟服務。這就要時時地站在人文跟科技的十字路口，仔細觀察它們的變化，然後活用科技的進步，為人文潛在的需求，適時地提供最佳的解決方案。捷安特的Cycling世界，就是用這種方法，不斷的推出創新價值的產品。我們在經營上也有發展出一個特別的理念，那就是「不求第一，要作惟一」。全世界的人這麼多，但沒有兩個人的指紋是一樣的， 所以每一個人都是獨一無二、都是惟一的。可見當上帝造每一個人的時候，祂都有衪特別的計劃，而且也把成功所需要的能力跟要素，已經放在你的心中，等待你取用。所以每一個人不應該只是模仿別人，或者是按照別人的期望來生活，而應該要找出並且發揮自己的天賦，真正做自己，成為惟一，才能夠活出精采的生命。企業也是一樣，不能隨波逐流，必須要找出什麼才是對的，什麼是合適你的，什麼才是有意義、對這個世界有貢獻的，這個才是惟一。當你精益求精，努力的想要成為惟一的時侯，你才能夠找到真正正確的目標，以及永續生存的價值。如果事事都想為第一，那麼你可能去追求很多不切實際的目標，而被你無法承受的巨大壓力所摧毀。或者，因為不擇手段，最後走上一些錯誤的道路。在長期追求惟一的過程當中，我也得到兩個重要的體會：當你決心做一件對的事情，而且不屈不撓，勇敢堅持奮鬥的時候，全宇宙的力量都會起來幫助你。另外，把一件有意義的事情，用生命的力量把它作好，你就有可能改變這個世界！我鼓勵你們，聆聽你們內心深處的微小的聲音，讓它引導你們，去尋找到你們的天賦，了解你們的命定。不求第一，要作惟一。做你真正的自己，成為惟一。活出你精彩的生命，享受你幸福的人生！很多人說，生長在臺灣的人，一輩子裡面一定要完成三項挑戰：登玉山、泳渡日月潭、還有騎自行車環島。我覺得這非常有道理。所以我建議大家在畢業以後，在去當兵、就業之前，不妨參加一個自行車環島的旅行團，用九天的時間，仔細的去體會、欣賞寶島臺灣的美好，用自行車的輪胎去親吻，這塊生你長你的美麗大地，就當作是送給你自己的一個畢業禮物吧！那教授們跟家長們，可能會想說，啊！太可惜了，我畢業的時候沒有騎自行車環島，我現在已經五六十歲了。沒關係，你這個年紀正好來從事人生的壯遊。我們臺大的校長－管校長，在今年的一月份，就勇敢的完成他夢寐以求的自行車環島的壯遊。我們給管爺一個掌聲好不好？有人認為臺灣很小、沒有前途，真的是這樣嗎？世界經濟論壇每年都要把全世界的國家的實力做一個調查跟排名。讓我們來看一下臺灣的排名。全世界有235個國家，就面積來講，我們排名第137；就人口來講，第57；就經濟體來講，第21；就整體競爭力來講，排名第11；而創新力，臺灣排名第4。沒錯，臺灣的確不大，但是我們很強，我們可以很有前途！可預見的，未來的世界將會成為美、歐、亞三區鼎力的這個新局面。就像三個圓圈，各自都以自己的利益為優先，並且彼此長期的競爭、對抗和抵制，但是同時又不得不相互的維持一些必要的連結。而在每一個圈裡面，它將持續的有很多劇烈的改變，就像一個暴風圈一樣。而這三個暴風圈連結在一起，就形成一個所謂完全風暴PERFECT STORM。最近經濟學人雜誌，把臺灣當作封面，稱臺灣為地球上最危險的地方，但同時又是科技業最關鍵的地方。我個人倒認為，未來臺灣可能是處在一個最有利的地位，就在那三個暴風圈中間的那個颱風眼，也就是這三個圈圈彼此連結交會的中心點。這個地方看起來好像危險，其實是最安全、最有利、又是最關鍵的地方。當三個暴風圈無可避免的，參與在一個長期的競爭、對抗、跟抵制－這樣一個零和的賽局裡面。那臺灣並不屬於任何一個圈圈，也不需要去參與這些競爭、對抗跟抵制。而可以去想說，我可以在這個關鍵的中心點，替這個世界來提供什麼樣子的創新價值的貢獻。臺灣過去50年的努力累積了很多技術開發、製造管理、金融資本，社會資源，以及民主法治體制，這些稀有而寶貴的實力。而且如果以全世界作為舞台，那麼，能夠精通中文跟英文、能夠深切的了解東方西方的文化；有專業，又能跨界，謙卑而不自卑，自信而不自大的臺灣人，可能是全世界最優秀的人才。未來無法被預測，但是可以被創造！30年前，有誰能夠預測到說臺灣會產生世界級的台積電跟捷安特？台積電秉持著作惟一的理念，以全球晶圓代工的戰略，厚植實力，打造了優質高效的供應鏈，把臺灣變成一個科技島。以臺灣為核心，轉動引領全世界的半導體市場。捷安特也秉持著作惟一的理念，以世界的捷安特，全球在地化的品牌戰略，帶領A-Team把臺灣變成全世界高級車的中心，又積極的推動Cycling的新文化，把臺灣發展成一個自行車島，以臺灣為核心，轉動引領全世界自行車的市場。在這裡我也期許我們臺大，也能夠以作惟一這樣子的理念，轉動引領世界，變成全世界最優秀人才培養的最佳搖籃。未來的50年，臺灣將迎來前所未有最大的機運！所以臺灣是不是應該要脫離過去單純競爭的心態，而來積極的謀求長期的未來生存之道，或者更進一步要問自己：臺灣可以為世界貢獻些什麼？臺灣不應該只是消極的「根留臺灣」，而應該更主動積極的「放眼全球、立足亞太、深根臺灣」。臺灣過去的50年，那是一個非常艱辛跟特別的階段。很慶幸的，臺灣在那個階段裡面，是屬於勝利的這一組。現在是應該到了必須要了解過去、深入現在、策劃未來，這個重要關鍵的時刻。要如何的以宇宙格局的高度、以全球視野的廣度、以及歷史演進的長度，衡外情，量己力，來為臺灣重新的定位，重新畫一個正確的戰略、戰術、戰鬥的黃金三角形。讓臺灣能夠真正發揮自己的長處，能夠打造創新價值的優勢，成為惟一、做Only One！要能夠創造一個更安全、更廣闊、更興盛－全新的藍海。臺灣必須要成為世界的好公民，繼續的為全世界做更多、更好的貢獻！2021的畢業生們，在你們當中有未來國家的領導人、有全球企業的創造者、有在社會各行各業、方方面面的核心人才，所以臺灣未來50年的未來，就掌握在你們手中了。最後，我想用一位著名科學家的名言來作結尾： Life is like riding a bicycle.  To keep your balance, you must keep moving. 人生就像騎自行車，要保持你平衡最好的方法，就是繼續不斷地向前進。你知道這是誰的名言嗎？ 沒錯，就是愛因斯坦！2021的畢業生們，請你騎上你人生的自行車，勇敢的向前邁進，去開創你獨一無二、精彩無比的新生命跟未來。再一次，恭喜你們，並且祝福你們每一位，將來都能夠有健康、幸福、精彩跟有意義的人生！謝謝！    .==============================    .President Kuan, Executive Vice President Luo, Distinguished guests, family, friends, and most importantly, the graduating class of 2021, good morning!First of all, congratulations! Today, you are graduating from one of the best universities in the world – National Taiwan University! Over the last few years, President Kuan led the university forward with his vision of “educational reform” and internationalization”. Together with all the faculty and students, NTU has made significant progress in both ranking and global visibility, making us, alumni, extremely proud.I think we deserve to give ourselves a round of applause!You are the graduating class of 2021 and already, you have set a new record for NTU: For the first time, there will not be a traditional graduation ceremony. Let this be a very special memory of your life and a sign of the difference you will make in your future with extraordinary achievements.The world is now in a volatile state where the East and the West are confronting each other. The world’s economic activities are also greatly affected by the breakthrough and innovations in technology. The less-than-ideal and less-than fair globalization will gradually become global localization. And as a result of COVID-19, Taiwan and the rest of the world’s lifestyle, social structure, and economy have been disrupted, and must be comprehensively reorganized and restructured. This is certainly a crisis, but in the midst of every crisis, lies great opportunity. So, what lies before you are countless opportunities for innovation, and exciting new challenges.Because, for the first time, Taiwan is standing with the rest of the world on a new race-track. Therefore, I would like to congratulate you, you are entering a new era full of hope.I graduated from NTU in 1969. It has been more than 50 years and today, I would like to share some of my life experiences and insights.When I graduated from college, I was filled with ambition. I couldn’t wait to make my mark. I joined one of the largest trading companies in Taiwan, where I quickly realized the only materials I learned in school that came in handy are a little bit of international trade practices and English.  Much of what I had learned about business management would only be relevant 10 or 20 years down the road, if I was lucky enough to become a senior executive.What’s even more ironic is that I graduated with a degree in business, but after working for 2 years, I realize I really don’t like being a businessman, and I don’t like doing business. What I am actually interested in is building an enterprise.Fortunately, I chose to listen to the faint voice in my heart and decided to enter the bicycle industry. I left my position at the best trading company in Taipei to join a small company with only 38 employees in Dajia to pursue my dream.At the time, many people thought I must’ve broken my skull and gone crazy, but looking back, I have made a great decision in my life.The process of starting my own enterprise has been very difficult, but I have learned many valuable lessons. The first thing I learned is that before you can do anything else, you have to learn to be a person of good character.We must be honest, down to earth, selfless, self-serving, and altruistic for the common good.Be grateful, respectful and caring at all times. To love the world and to understand that one person’s ability is limited and that is necessary to build interpersonal relationships of mutual trust and support; to be part of a group and to play as a team.When it comes to work, you must work hard with a positive attitude.  And don’t be afraid to fail, be brave enough to accept new challenges. Because every time you fail, it just means you are one step closer to success. Learning is an active process. We learn by doing. We must stay open-minded and curious, aspiring to lifelong learning; to explore challenges and pursue excellence.Here I would like to give everyone a special graduation gift, which are my two tips for success: First, always put yourself in the customer’s shoes, regardless of what you’re doing or what kind of job title you hold. Think for them, think about what else you can do to create more value for the customers.Second, regardless of what you’re doing or what kind of job title you hold, always think about the company from the proprietor’s point of view; what can we do to build a healthier company that’s sustainable.Even if you are going to forget everything I say later, that’ ok. Just remember to take your graduation gift at heart, because these two tips on “empathy “are sure to bring you unexpected blessings in the future!Later on, I realized that fame and money are merely byproducts. The real product is you, what kind of person you have become and what have you achieved. When the real product is identified, fame and money will come naturally.So I encourage you, when you look for a job, don’t be too concerned about the starting salary and benefits. Because as a matter of fact, as a newcomer, it is very difficult to make a big contribution in the first three years, so really the company is paying to give you training instead. So choose a meaningful industry and find a good company where you can improve and grow, that’s what’s important.Thirdly, I learned that knowledge is not the same as wisdom. All of you have learned a lot and have a lot of valuable knowledge, but this knowledge must be practiced in order to produce experience, and in the process of accumulation, there will be different experiences of reflection, learning and empathy, especially from failure, slowly and surely all these experiences will be condensed into useful wisdom.My personal development can be divided into three stages. I began as a I-shaped person with some basic skills in business management. Later on, due to my job and curiosity, I gained respected experience in technology development, manufacturing, branding, global marketing, and service and thus gradually becoming a T-shape multidisciplinary professional. However, when I combined the future mission and direction of the company with my life goals, promoting it enthusiastically and actively, that is when I finally became a X-shape transdisciplinary leader.Once the company became more stable, I was faced with the challenge of planning the vision, mission, positioning, and long-term strategy for the company. At this stage, I had some new insights.First, you must be able to draw a “golden triangle”, an equilateral triangle is the most stable shape with strategy on top, tactics in the middle, and operations at the bottom. In other words, the strategy is to do the right thing, the tactics is the using the right methods, and operations is using the right methods to excel on doing the right things while constantly improving them.To develop long-term strategies, it is necessary to have insight.I enjoy looking at the globe, yes, the spherical model of Earth that sits on a stand and can be rotated. When you rotate the globe, you can see every place and country on it, its geographical location, its natural ecology, and you can think about its historical evolution and development, so that you can come up with an overall comprehensive concept.When thinking about long-term strategy, it is not easy to come up with a groundbreaking idea, because “men are often blind in their own cause”Therefore, when I think about long-term strategy, I imagine myself as if I were looking at a rotating Earth from a man-made satellite. With the height of the universe, the breadth of global vision and the length of historical evolution, you will be able think about it from the perspective of an observer, and then you may have a breakthrough. This is how the strategy and vision of “GIANT for the World” and “glocalization” brand management came about.Another kind of insight is how to introduce the products and services to create additional value to people. This requires standing at the crossroads of humanity and technology, observing their changes carefully, and then using technological advances to provide the best solutions for the potential needs of humanity in a timely manner. This is how GIANT’s Cycling World continues to introduce innovative values to its products.We have also developed a special philosophy in our business, which is “don’t be the first one, be the only one”. There are so many people in the world, but no two people share the same fingerprints, making each person unique and one of a kind. God created each person with purpose and has gifted us with the abilities and elements needed for success. All of which is in your heart, waiting for you to take them. Therefore, we should not just follow each other’s footstep or live under the expectations of someone else. Instead, we should find and give reigns to our talents, to truly be ourselves, to become the only one and live a brilliant life.The same applies to businesses, you can’t just go with the flow, we must find what is right and suitable and what is meaningful and contributive to the world, this is what it means to be the only one. When you strive for excellence and strive to be the only one, you will find the right goals and the value of sustainability. If you try to be first in everything, you may pursue many unrealistic goals and either be destroyed by unbearable pressure or resort to doing whatever it takes, and end up on the wrong path.I have learned two important lessons in my long quest to be the “only one”. When you are determined to do the right thing and you are unyielding and persistent in your struggle, the power of the universe will rise up and help you. In addition, if you do something meaningful and do it well with the power of life, you may change the world.I urge you to listen to the small voice deep within you and let it guide you to find your talents and understand your destiny.Do not seek to be the first but to be the only. Be true to yourself and be the only one. Live your life to the fullest and enjoy your life to the fullest!Many people say that growing up in Taiwan, you must complete three challenges in your lifetime: climb to the top of Jade Mountain, swim across Sun Moon Lake, and ride a bike around the island. I think this is very true. Therefore, I suggest that after graduation, before you go to the military or get a job, you might as well join a bicycle tour around the island and spend nine days to carefully experience and appreciate the beauty of Taiwan. As a graduation gift to yourself, let the tires kiss the beautiful land where you were born and raised.All the professors and parents must be thinking in regret, “Ah! Too bad! I didn’t ride my bike around the island when I graduated and now I’m already in my 50s and 60s…” But that’s okay! You are actually at the perfect age to start your adventurous life.Our President of NTU, President Kuan bravely completed his dream bike tour around the island in January this year. Let’s give President Kuan a round of applause!Some people think that Taiwan is small and has no future. Every year, the World Economic Forum conducts a survey and ranking of the strength of countries around the world. Let’s take a look at Taiwan’s ranking. There are 235 countries in the world and we rank 137th in terms of landmass, 57th in terms of population, 21st in terms of economy, 11th in terms of overall competitiveness, and 4th in terms of innovation. It’s true that Taiwan is not big, but we are strong and we have a promising future.In the foreseeable future there will become a new situation in which the United States, Europe and Asia will be the three focal regions. Just like three circles, each of which prioritizes its own interests and is in long-term competition, confrontation and resistance, but at the same time has to maintain some necessary links with each other. And in each circle, drastic changes will be endless, just like a storm circle. These three storm circles are linked together to form a so-called PERFECT STORM.The Economist magazine recently featured Taiwan on its cover, calling it the most dangerous place on earth, but at the same time the most critical place for the technology industry. Personally, I think that Taiwan may be in the most favorable position in the future, right in the middle of the three storm circles, the eye of the typhoon, which is the center point where these three circles are connected. This place seems dangerous, but in fact it is the safest, most favorable, and most critical place.When the three storm circles are inevitably involved in a long-term competition, confrontation, and boycott - a zero-sum game. Taiwan does not belong to any of these circles, nor does it need to participate in these competitions, confrontations, and boycotts. Instead, situated in this critical position, I should begin to think about what kind of innovative value I can provide to the world.Taiwans efforts over the past 50 years have accumulated many rare and valuable strengths in technology development, manufacturing management, financial capital, social resources, and the democratic rule of law system. If the world is our stage, Taiwanese people who are proficient in Chinese and English, who have a deep understanding of Eastern and Western cultures, who are professional, who can cross borders, who are humble but not inferior, and who are confident but not arrogant, may be the best talents in the world.The future cannot be predicted, but it can be created! 30 years ago, who could have predicted that Taiwan would produce globally renowned TSMC and GIANT?TSMC is committed to the concept of being the only one, and has built up its strengths with its global foundry strategy, creating a high-quality and efficient supply chain and turning Taiwan into a technology island. With Taiwan as the core, TSMC is leading the worldwide semiconductor market.GIANT also upholds the concept of Be the only one and leads the A-Team to turn Taiwan into the center of the worlds premium bikes with the brand strategy of globalization and localization, and actively promotes the new culture of cycling, developing Taiwan into a cycling island and leading the worlds cycling market with Taiwan as the core.Here I also hope that we, NTU, can also lead the world with the concept of being the only one, and become the best cradle for the cultivation of the best talents in the world.In the next 50 years, Taiwan will have the greatest opportunity ever! Therefore, Taiwan should get rid of the simple competitive mentality of the past and actively seek the long-term survival of the future, or go even further and ask itself: What can Taiwan contribute to the world? Taiwan should not just secure Taiwan in a conservative way, but should be more proactive with global outlook and establish a foothold in the Asia Pacific.The last 50 years, for Taiwan, has been very difficult and significant. Fortunately, Taiwan pulled through and came out as one of the winners.Now is the crucial moment to understand the past, delve into the present, and plan for the future. We must take the height of the universe, the breadth of our global vision, and the length of historical evolution, weigh the external situation, and measure our own strengths to reposition Taiwan and draw the golden triangle of strategy, tactics, and operations. Taiwan should be able to give full play to its strengths, create innovative value, and become the only one! Taiwan must become a good citizen of the world and continue to make more and better contributions to the world!Graduates of 2021, among you are the future leaders of the country, the creators of global enterprises, and the core talents in all walks of life, the future is in your hands.Finally, I would like to conclude with a quote from a famous scientist: Life is like riding a bicycle.  To keep your balance, you must keep moving.Do you know who this quote belongs to? Thats right, Einstein!Graduates of 2021, please get ready for your life adventure, get on your bikes and peddle courageously forward to create your own unique and exciting future. Again, congratulations and best wishes to each and every one of you for a healthy, happy, and meaningful life!Thank you!詳見：https://www.facebook.com/NTUCommencement/posts/2718162161807541    .#臺灣大學 #畢業典禮 #NTUCommencement2021 #貴賓致詞 #羅祥安

Question 3

put out of business中文與芬尼學英語 Finnie's Language Arts 在Facebook 的評價

Accepted Answer

《兒登教曉我的事 — 為什麼香港好老師這麼少？》⁣⁣前陣子在發表了《回應連登仔 “能者多努”話我英文廢，憑咩教人》這篇文章，讀者似乎對這篇文章頗有興趣，文章獲得了將近300個clap，成績算是不錯，似乎許多讀者對我如何回應連登的所謂hater頗有興趣。（其實我不贊成把批評者稱為hater，因為這樣似乎先入為主的標籤了他們為盲目的批評者的感覺。）⁣⁣事實上，之前medium上寫過的文章，有幸被連登朋友放在論譠上評價。（critique中文應該翻譯做評價嗎？我也不肯定，反正就當所謂的批評者為衷心critique，而不是一心criticise吧。）⁣⁣【Hater？做咩咁介懷？】⁣⁣每次當我反駁或者討論連登仔提供提出的觀點時候，就會有許多人告訴我：⁣⁣「何必呢？ Tiffany，連登的人/haters說什麼是他們的自由。你不用那麼介懷啊！。」⁣⁣他們的意思彷彿是，我覺得因為害怕自己形象受損，又或者覺得尊嚴受損，才去回應批評者。⁣⁣事實上，我之所以會花這麼多唇舌去討論連登的觀點，是因為我覺得連登可謂是香港社會的縮影，上面許多人說的話，都反映了許多人的心聲。⁣⁣我這樣說，也許許多人覺得難以置信，但我之所以回應，是我關心香港的教育風氣。⁣⁣連登的無知，就是（許多）香港人的無知。⁣⁣和許多其他公眾討論一樣，每當討論事情時候，香港人就只會歸邊，只有非黑即白的對與不對。⁣⁣【連登式與反連登/歸邊的批評者和回應者】⁣⁣當連登有人說：「芬尼的英文那麼廢，怎麼也會上到位？/怎麼也能教書？」和「芬尼的教的都是小學英文，小學英文有必要教嗎？Native English teachers教得更好，說話更標準，用不着芬尼教呀！」⁣⁣另一邊廂，有人回應這些批評者說：「你英文這麼強，就你來教我吧！」、「你英文很厲害嗎？」；有些人說：「芬尼的英文已經很好了，絕對有做老師的資格。」⁣⁣雙方喋喋不休，吵個不停。⁣⁣這樣的討論其實沒有什麼意思，因為教得好與不好，教的知識有沒有用，是觀點與角度的問題。有些人英文很厲害，他們當然覺得我教的沒有用，有些人英文很厲害，當然也會覺得我英文很廢。⁣⁣道理就好像討論10萬元是否一筆很大的錢，窮人會覺得10萬元已經很多了，有錢的人會覺得10萬元不算什麼。⁣⁣這樣爭論只會無休止的下去。⁣⁣在GaryVee的頻道裡，常常說有許多年輕人phone in上他的節目《Tea with GaryVee》向GaryVee詢問種種問題，關於創業的、關於人生的、關於家庭的、關於朋友的、關於前途的。⁣⁣GaryVee常常勸勉年輕人一句話：⁣「你很年輕啊！你知道嗎？許多你這個年紀的人一無所知，你知道自己一無所知，你已經被他們走得前許多了！」⁣⁣(You’re young! You know that? People at your age? You know what people at your age do? They don’t know shit! You’re so much better off than so many people out there!）⁣⁣為什麼大家都會視GaryVee為一個好老師呢？不只因為他把自己的紅酒和social media agency VaynerMedia搞得有聲有色，還因為GaryVee有同理心。⁣⁣【好老師和壞老師的區別】⁣⁣兒登的批評者和GaryVee的區別很簡單；壞老師和好老師的區別也很簡單：⁣就是同理心的區別。⁣⁣我不排除這個世界上，有些批評我英文差的人自己英文真的很厲害，能力高本身是一件好事。但為什麼沒有能力高的人在網上教導大眾呢？⁣原因是大部分厲害的人，沒有時間、沒有興趣，又或者沒有影響其他人，把這個世界變得更好的決心和commitment。⁣⁣為什麼我可以這樣說？⁣⁣試想想，如果英語好到爆的人，都走出來在YouTube上教英文，如果英文很好的人，天天在Medium上寫文，我絕對是「冇行」的，我不會再有market。我怎麼可能走到今天數萬訂閱的這一步呢？在free market裡，我會徹底地被我的對手打敗。⁣⁣有些你覺得能力不高的人，之所以能夠達至成功，原因無他，就是因為能力高的人有許多，但能力高的，同時又會關心極度關心能力低的人，探討為什麼能力低的人能力會低，並嘗試lift them up，這樣的人就不太多。（最起碼我很少見。）⁣⁣They succeed, not just because they’re capable, but because they care. （成功的人成功，不只因為能力高，而且因為他們關懷。）⁣⁣【連登的fail to see the underdog syndrome】⁣⁣許多能力高（其中包括部分連登的批評者）的人都犯了Fail to see the underdog（看不見弱者）的謬誤。他們自己也許能力很高，但他們眼中看不見那些能力低的人，不知道別人根本拍馬也追不上他們的能力。簡而言之，就是「離曬地」。⁣⁣你教過會考零分的人英文嗎？我教過。你教過讀拔萃喇沙的尖子門生嗎？我也教過。而我知道，拔萃的學生用半秒明白了的概念，會考零分的人可能用24小時也搞不懂。⁣⁣【教育是一成技術知識；九成同理心】⁣⁣做好老師，唔係要自己叻咁簡單，而係要好關心唔叻嘅人點解唔叻，唔叻嘅人點解學唔識。⁣⁣我說得極端一點，做好老師，一成是技術知識， 九成是同理心。 十個英文老師之中十個，也會知道he、she、it後面的verb要加S，但是十個英文老師之中，有多少過有這樣的魄力和心思，同理為什麼學生覺得學習痛苦，培養學生對英文的興趣？⁣⁣學術能力固然是能力；但同理能力（empathy），也是能力。有學術能力而沒有同理心的人，很難做好老師。⁣⁣【點解喺香港，「廢」人都可以做老師？】⁣⁣以上現象要究其原因，香港的文化土壤和大環境並不鼓勵人成為好老師，因為許多人覺得做三師才是成功的表徵；成功的人許多都做了律師醫生。大家覺得書讀不成才做老師。（“He who can, does; he who cannot, teaches.”）⁣⁣正正因為大家都有這種鮮明的階級觀念，對社會地位有追求的人而公開考試考到了幾條火箭的人，相信也不會咁睇唔開做老師這份工作。⁣⁣香港人重視學術能力，但教師這一行不只講求學術能力，更講求同理心。而在香港，有多少人談同理心？我們又有多重視同理心？⁣⁣就是因為大家對教育行業的輕視，導致人才都不願意進入教育行業。⁣⁣社會風氣如此，連登的人還說，英語這麼廢的人做什麼老師？⁣⁣如果我們的社會不是輕視教育工作，就會有更多有心有力的人進入教育行業，我也就會冇行了。⁣⁣引用周星馳一句話：「你唔驚冇得撈咩？」⁣⁣當有人咁同我講嘅時候，我會引用Tea with GaryVee裡面的一段對話：⁣⁣“Gary, I started a social media agency.” （Gary，我開了一個social media agency（和你一樣的生意）⁣⁣“So, you’re gonna put me out of business?” （你要取代我嗎？）⁣“No, I…” （不，我。。。）⁣⁣“I want you to! I want you to put me out of business!” （我急不及待你取代我！）⁣⁣其實，我內心好期待，富同理心嘅英文高人出現，而我唔使做嘅一日，咁我就可以挑戰下其他野喇。⁣⁣如果想看更多文章，就要去Medium Blog喇！⁣If youd like to read even more articles written by me, be sure to visit my blog on Medium😊:⁣http://bit.ly/2L7ERR6⁣⁣訂閱電子報：http://bit.ly/fla-nl⁣(定期接收有關學英文嘅知識同心得分享，及最新課程的情報。)
