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.
Taiwan's 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 world's 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 world's 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? That's 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!

如果你也和我一樣想創造一個更有覺知的世界,那麼「非暴力溝通」或許是個非常重要的工具。
多年來,我的觀察是許多初衷很好的項目之所以會失敗,並不是因為技術不夠或沒有資金,而是因為人與人之間不知道該如何更有意識地去合作。
我們多數人都沒有被教導過怎麼去做這件事,甚至是被以恰巧相反的方式去教導的。
正因如此,我認為把內心功課和外在功課整合在一起,才能更有效地去為地球成為變革者。

If you care about creating a more conscious and connected world like I do, Nonviolent Communication may be an important tool for us all.
My observation over the years is that many well-intentioned initiatives fail not because we don’t have the technology (or even the money), but because humans don’t know how to collaborate with each other on a conscious level. Most of us have never been taught that, or even taught the opposite way. That’s why I think it’s essential for us to integrate our inner work and outer work, so we can truly be effective change agents for Earth.

【#隨緣家書🌍】Patreon的網友建議這篇文章完全Public,供多些朋友思考。
「應該移民嗎?」——真正的答案,在這裏
這是一個很簡單的問題,但有非常複雜的答案。在過去十年,每次都想長篇大論的答,總是被斷章取義。也難怪,本來在太平盛世,稍具思考型答案已經顯得很離地,但在此情此景的新香港,朋輩間,坦白說,沒有人不在想這問題。但與此同時,也沒有人不在尋找「是」與「非」之外的答案。
因為,大家經過過去一年,都成長了。都知道香港的出路,只有在重重矛盾、悖論、衝突中,跌跌撞撞地尋找。
我真心的答案是:this is not a question。非黑即白的「移民」概念,早已在冷戰結束時,已一併終結,正如中美就算出現新冷戰,也不會有一道圍牆,而是全新型態、互為表裏的衝突。不少人提起「移民」,往往有出於情緒的反應,就是因為假定了一種either / or 的對立。
從前,或許是的。但現在,還是嗎?
我們不妨先梳理提起「移民」,往往出現的對立式dichotomized情緒:
1A. 假如移居別處,就等於放棄我城,促進換血,這是不負責任。
1B. 假如留守我城,但君子不立危牆,連累人犧牲得毫無價值,同樣不負責任。
2A. 假如移到他方,天天圍爐取暖,只會成為蝗蟲,成為別人的排外對象。
2B. 假如移到他方,成了由內至外的美國人、英國人,豈非數典忘祖。
3A. 假如離開香港,沒有了熟悉的土地承載,再不會有香港身份認同。
3B. 假如留在香港,換血急速進行,社會大手術,同樣不會有香港身份認同。
4A. 假如到了海外,找不到和現有待遇同級的工作,就是二等公民,代表無能。
4B. 假如到了海外,只靠私人儲蓄過世,那是階級特權,是為自私……
「移民」的偽對立:住這裏Vs住那裏,融合Vs排外,上流Vs下流
凡此種種,一堆負能量。但這些對立,從來都是偽對立來的。
1. 在過去一年運動,明顯有大量工作,都是海外香港人積極參與的:捐款,文宣,後勤,乃至專門回來,反映他們始終心繫香港,港人對他們,不應有事鍾無艷;某程度上,國安法甚至也是要專門打擊他們,從現在通緝美籍港人Samuel Chu,即可見一斑。同理,生活在香港的不少人,其實早已「精神移民」,只在乎物質層,卻也不見得可以有何貢獻,則大可無事夏迎春。在國安法時代的新香港,有不少工作,即使不談政治,也100%肯定海外比香港適合,例如教育、文化、藝術、創作、創科等,都必須無邊界的創作力,才能成功;而通過互聯網和社區網絡,即使身處海外,影響也依然能輻射本地,甚至更能輻射本地。
就像疫情期間的教學,甚至香港、紐約還是剛果,又有何分別?而且對成長中的孩子而言,不少家長都覺得此刻的香港,不可能是理想地方:只要問有多少表面上支持政府的「藍絲」,讓孩子在非海外學校、非國際學校、非直資、非IB的本地學校接受教育,就是最好的指標。但另一類工作,卻是必須在地才能見效,例如社工、醫護、工程、本土經濟等,他們令香港人活得體面、尊嚴,同樣有時代選中的機遇。台灣民進黨創黨時的金主們,大都在戒嚴時代白手起家,對台灣自然有貢獻;猶太人保存血脈的大腦,二戰時都在美國,自然也對手足有貢獻。貢獻不在身在何方,而在心在何方。
2. 假如「移民」的定義,就是昔日的唐人街,時光停滯,與外界隔絕,連當地語言文化也不懂,自然非常糟糕,也值得被排斥;等而下之的酷愛炫富,乃至反客為主影響當地核心價值,更是大忌。至於昔日不少二、三代移民,以和母體割裂為榮,滿口比本地人更造作的口音,同樣叫人吃不消。但香港人難道沒有其他選擇?全球化時代出現後,不少到了海外的香港人,都奉行「engagement」策略,一方面積極融入當地圈子,另一方面在當地建立的社會資本,能對香港有幫助,例如進入當地經濟高端層,或把香港文化融入當地、自成fusion,都是功德無量,兩者兼顧得如魚得水,因為認同從來不是排他性的。這完全不涉及政治,但也是「國際線」的真諦。同一道理,留在香港的,同樣可以建構本地國際網絡,單是一間重慶大廈,就是由下而上國際線的寶庫。
3. 甚麼是「香港身份認同」,自然每人都有不同定義。林鄭月娥、李柱銘、梁天琦的定義,就全不一樣,但都會存在,就算是2020年的林鄭月娥,也不會說自己不是香港人吧。所以無論怎樣定義,香港身份認同從來都是外向型的,是很有效的大熔爐,信奉的是公平競爭、相信法治但靈活變通、專業精神而超然政治、東西文化共融、不依靠被規劃而相信由下而上,屬於典型的港口身份:例如梁天琦、羅冠聰也是新移民港人,南亞裔Jeffrey Andrews是土生土長港人,猶太人盛智文也是歸化港人。假如說離開了香港,就再也沒有身份認同,那怎解釋在過去一年,不少海外港人二代、甚至不懂地道廣東話,就像剛談及的美籍港人Samuel Chu,也完全被connected?特別是互聯網時代,對身份認同的影響已經超越了昔日理論,顛覆了上世紀對地緣政治的想像,本身就是一種加速劑。且看今天香港青年認為與英國同齡港人屬同一社群,還是感覺隔壁藍絲長老更似同一屋簷下?
4. 說到海外的生活、工作,這從來不應使用香港的同一基準:人不應該為了生存,而是為了生活。在這層面,處於不同崗位的香港人,完全可以發揮2+2=5的作用。香港人的資產相當豐厚,能力也高,人均GDP接近五萬美元,甚至高於不少人的移民目標德國、加拿大、日本;總GDP的規模,也可比愛爾蘭、馬來西亞、以色列,而且還未計算海外港人在內。
在全球化時代,香港人毋需大規模聚居在某一地方,也可以結成互助經濟體:英國港人可以支持住在台灣的黃秋生拍電影;台灣港人可以建立網上教室教美國港人中文;美國港人可以請被打壓失去工作的本地港人當freelance designers、editors;本地港人則可以從英國網購當地港人製作的日用品……李嘉誠在英國建「香港城」,固然是由上而下的例子;無數可以出現的虛擬香港村,則是由下而上的例子。香港百年前起家之時,華商全球網絡的匯款,承擔了非常重要的角色,讓香港成為一體兩面、內外合一的概念,日本濱下武志教授對此有詳細研究。百年前,未有現代科技,尚且如此,何況2020年後的世界?
這些,自然都是理念層面的討論。重點,還是如何執行。
真正的「移民」,其實是減少任何單一依賴的一個「Package」
十年前,我就真心相信每一個香港人,無論今天廣義的黃、藍,都應該有一個足以在全球生活的package。無論是最本土、還是最建制的人,萬一到了萬不得已之時想離開,都不應該受限。建制派有一個觀察是對的:不少vocal的本土派輿論領袖,都不在香港。不願離開時,也應該擁有實力。這對人對己、大局小局,都有好處。這個package,不是由純粹物質的check list組成的,而是由能力主導的check list 組成的:
1. 我們需要有被其他地方接受的能力。這不一定等同外國護照,可以是一種後備身份(例如擴權後的BNO),可以是一種聯繫身份(持外國護照的家人讓你離開),可以是一種能力身份(擁有其他地方高認受的專業資格),也可以是一種社會身份(外地朋友願意和有能力在必要時協助離開)。對香港人而言,這是不少人想到「移民」時真正所指的:對現狀感到不安,但因為種種原因,卻不希望馬上走,這在黃、藍營當中,都非常普遍。
2. 我們需要有在任何地方都能開工的能力。這不等於高薪厚職,甚至恰恰相反:在未來slashers世代,任何工作反正都保障不了終生收入、也再沒有到死的長糧這回事,真正能保障生活的,再不是擔驚受怕地保住一份工,但到了退休還是繼續擔驚受怕,而是要有到死也能開源的能力。很多人不敢發聲、犧牲一生的自由,不外出於這種恐懼,因為很擔心沒有走出comfort zone的能力。
至於這能力是甚麼,總會與時並進,更重要的,還是「學習的能力」。我們常對新一代說:能夠好好與人溝通(須知陪月、幼稚園老師才是最難被人工智能取代的工作),與持不同語言者溝通(例如瑞士人那樣有四種語言),與電腦溝通(例如掌握編程語言、能隨手寫網頁和app等),基本上,就可以保障在任何地方找到工作。無論現在是否依靠單一僱主,我們都必須有第二、第三收入,可以是某種嗜好,可以是某種投資,而且應該是geographically friendly。到了要走要留,地域就不是限制。
3. 我們需要有在任何地方都能適應的能力。這也是我們在過去十年,常推廣的「文化智商」(CQ),一方面了解國際關係宏觀的基本倫理,另一方面要在最「落地」的日常生活,培養多元品味,例如兼容咖啡與烏龍茶、印度電影與台灣文藝片、Rap與古典樂等,那樣到了任何地方,都不會成為異鄉人。而這能力和我們珍愛本土文化和生活,從來不是對立的。即使足不出戶在香港,只要有能力,也足以建立personalized的獨家國際網絡,這可以圍繞你的興趣(例如電競)、技能(例如投資)、研究(例如找到愛好哥德式建築的全球同路人)、工作產生,到頭來,才容易在不同地方都有接頭人,讓網絡和現實世界虛實相間。至於出國留學、working holiday,除了增值,也是獲取上述網絡和能力的理想中介。
海內外香港人,不分黃藍,也是命運共同體
只要香港人、特別是中生代和新生代,能做到上述各點,兄弟爬山,各自選擇,自然不應再有「移不移民」這疑問。目前有大約150-200萬港人和後代散居海外和中國內地,單是主張加拿大的60多萬香港人、已比在沙田的香港人多,香港人已經是一個散居全球的命運共同體。今天藍黃高度對立,其實除了20%酷愛天天鬥爭的深藍無可救藥,絕大多數香港人的思維都是很一致的,在共同體內部,到了海外,反而大可以拋開政治分歧,就像印度人、巴基斯坦人在香港,反而變成buddy,因為他們有共生能力。例如不少(表面上的)藍營商人,捐了很多資源支持香港(大多是黃營的)新一代創業、學習,這種資源流動,屬自然發生的默契,這就是真正的香港;現在很多僱主也在讓資金、公司先移到海外,也製造了不少就業機會予香港下一代。我們面對大時代,應該改變停留在數十年前「是否移民」的過時思維,內外合一,這才是香港人生存下去的最大憑藉。
在過去十多年,每次被訪問,都有記者問我「是否移民」。其實,我心裡明白,他們只期望最簡單的答案。而作為國際關係學者和近年的創業者,我大多時間,都不在香港。於是,有人以為我在新加坡,有人以為我在台灣,有人以為我在葡萄牙,有人以為我在英國,有人以為我在美國。其實,我全都在,one way or another,因為我成長以來,就是如此追求,也許是預視了全球大趨勢如此,也許是預視了狹義香港的出路如此,也許是futures studies和國際關係令我不能自拔。
至於未來,作為父母,讓下一代在這樣的香港接受教育,無疑是不負責任的,因此一定會讓她們到海外讀書,也會花多些時間和她們一起,但除非有不能入境的一天,否則斷不會改變保留香港為根據地之一,而且無論在香港、還是海外,適逢亂世,都應該開拓更多業務。朋友們,即使以往不理解,難道到了國安法時代的新香港,還不理解嗎?身體力行讓香港人有落地的國際視野,無論身在何方,一直都是我的崗位,過往如是,未來也如是。
但願我們不會成為最後一代香港人。

日文歌詞 / Japanese Lyrics :
たった一人で歩いてきたと 思ってたあの日
本当はいつも どんな場面にも “誰か”がいたんだ
過ぎてゆく日々 空気のように見えない想いだけど
花束も 約束もいらない
ただ いくつもの愛で この空は繋がってるよ
いのちの数だけ また誰かと響き合える
ひとりひとり 会いたい“キミ”がいる
ずっと強がることで 弱さを守ってたあの日
そんなときさえ 差し出してくれた “誰か”の手のひら
朝焼けの街 時の流れに景色は変わったけど
やさしさも 愛しさも 心(ここ)にあるよ
伝えられなかった 言葉たちが溢れてる
泣きじゃくる夜に ぬくもりをくれた記憶
目を閉じれば 色褪せない場所がある
たとえどんな離れても 信じ合える
何を失っても キズナだけは壊せない
たったそれだけで 涙は笑顔に変わる
ひとりきりじゃない みんなそばにいるから…
きっと今は分かる 見えない想いの中に愛は輝く
花束も 約束もいらない
ただ いくつもの愛で この空は繋がってるよ
いのちの数だけ また誰かと響き合える
ひとりひとり かけがえのない“キミ”がいる
たとえどんな離れても 信じ合える
何を失っても キズナだけは壊せない
たったそれだけで 涙は笑顔に変わる
ひとりきりじゃない みんなそばにいるから…
中文歌詞 / Chinese Lyrics :
在覺得自己,總是孤身走來的某一天
其實無論在什麼樣的生活裡,都有「某個誰」陪伴在身旁
即使那是在漸漸逝去的歲月裡,像是空氣一樣,無法用肉眼看見的心念
不需要形式上的花束,也不需要什麼嚴格的約定
僅靠著幾份愛,這片天空就能夠連接彼此
有多少的生命,就能夠與多少的人邂逅
而在那裡的每一個、每個一人,都是想要遇見的那個「你」
故作堅強的某一天,總是掩飾著自己的懦弱
就連這樣的時刻,都會有「某個誰」所伸出的手在身旁
就算,沉浸在晨曦中的城市,早在時間的流水中改變了模樣
無論是溫柔,還是這份愛,都存在於心中
裝滿著無法脫口的那些話語
在哭得無法自己的夜晚裡,那些記憶給予了溫暖
只要閉上眼睛,那個不會褪色的場景,就近在眼前
無論相隔多遙遠,都能夠相信彼此
無論失去了些什麼,也絕對不會弄壞這份羈絆
僅是如此,眼淚就能夠化為笑容
正因為並非孤身一人,正因為大家都在身旁……
所以現在肯定可以體會,就是在看不見的心念裡,愛才會散發光輝
不需要花束的祝福,也不需要嚴格的約定
僅是依靠幾份愛,這片天空就能夠連接彼此
有多少的生命,我們就能夠與多少人產生羈絆
每一個、每一個人,都是無可取代的「你」
無論相隔多麼遙遠,都能夠相信彼此
無論失去些什麼,也絕對不會弄壞這份羈絆
僅是如此,眼淚就能夠化為笑容
我們並不是一個人,大家都在我們的身邊……
英文歌詞 / English Lyrics :
On the day I started thinking I’d always walked this path all alone,
I realized there had always been “someone” there, no matter the scene…
Though the feeling of these passing days,
Is invisible, like air.
I don’t need a bouquet or a promise;
All our skies are simply connected by many different loves.
As many lives as there are, there are chances to resonate with someone –
In each and every one one of “you” is someone I wish to know.
On the day I started acting tough to protect my weakness,
I noticed “someone” reaching out their hand, even at a time like this…
The sun is rising on this city,
Though the scenery’s changed with the flow of time.
Kindness and love are all right here;
Words that never managed to be communicated are overflowing.
With this memory of you giving me warmth on nights I cried,
Even if I close my eyes, I can see an place where the colors never fade.
No matter how far apart we are, we can believe in one another;
No matter what we lose, our bonds alone will never be shattered.
With just that, our crying faces will smile –
We’re not alone, ’cause everyone is here close by…
I see it so clearly now:
Love shines within that invisible feeling!
I don’t need a bouquet or a promise;
All our skies are simply connected by many different loves.
As many lives as there are, there are chances to resonate with someone –
In each and every one one of “you” is someone I wish to know.
No matter how far apart we are, we can believe in one another;
No matter what we lose, our bonds alone will never be shattered.
With just that, our crying faces will smile –
We’re not alone, ’cause everyone is here close by…

Marina about China/HK’s situation:
China ~ is going to go to globalism - that’s what they say, and they are also going to have two riots, it’s going to be right in front of people’s faces. Chinese, they say, are not to be messed with. Their culture that are big in pride and when they are being attacked, they will fight, especially the section of Hong Kong because there was more opening, more freedom, more freedom of thinking, they were not suppressed. This is the reason why the stuff that is happening from Hong Kong, you don’t see in another region because the other regions were suppressed through the regime, whatever that was, Hong Kong was almost like a free-thinking, almost like England, and that’s why when you try to suppress the consciousness that was free, they’re much more aware of what’s really happening because of the information and this is the reason why it’s happening from there, from there, it’s going to be like a snowball for the entire country, it’s exposure and showing the pure evil of communism, socialism is not really socialism. it’s communism and fascism , those three are connected to each other, they say. And it’s just the “interlocking”, they are talking about interlocking bylaws that are implemented very sneakily they say in a governmental structure, not only through China, but including through the government of the US. And they say pay very close attention to California. because their “bylaws” that were interlocking with that type of regime, this was based on agendas for global control, this was not based on agenda for serenity and sovereignty to US. This was based on a global agenda. This bylaws - so anybody that looks at California, and what’s happening there, you’re going to see it.
we should watch her channel on her website - Freedom Awakening
The platform of the codes of the matrix are on track, the new modality of the increasing of the frequency already coming through the fields, so escalation will happen because the more the frequency is spinning in the quantum structure more people who is with balance or off balance is going to come information so don’t be surprised when you see all these fights that is happening and all these manipulation is happening because it’s somebody’s else’s survival even if it’s coming from completely different way of thinking. Again not a judgement for anybody but we should just be patient and do your research. Do research on Freedom Awakening in my sub channel of the Harmonic Reactor, there is a Freedom Awakening channel, scroll down, you are going to see it and one after the other your have proofs and the commentaries and whistleblowers that talk about stuff that I already know to be true from my reality, I do not post or support something that I am not already done. I post stuff that I am 100% sure that I got information on that already. Otherwise you will not see them posted.
Marina關於中國/香港的情況:
中國〜將走向全球化 - 這就是他們 (他們指The Council of Nine)所說的,他們也將發生兩次騷亂。他們說,中國人不應該被搞砸。他們為自己的文化自豪,當他們受到攻擊時,他們會戰鬥,特別是香港的部分,因為有更多的開放,更多的自由,更多的思想自由,他們沒有受到壓制。這就是為什麼香港發生的事情,你沒有在另一個地區看到因為其他地區被政權壓制,無論如何,香港幾乎像一個自由思想,幾乎像英國,這就是為什麼當你試圖壓制自由的意識時,他們會更加意識到由於信息而發生的事情,這就是為什麼它從那裡發生的原因,從那裡開始,它就像一個雪球整個國家,它暴露並表現出共產主義的純粹邪惡,社會主義並不是真正的社會主義。他們說,這是共產主義和法西斯主義,這三者是相互聯繫的。它只是“互聯”,他們談論的是互聯章程,他們在政府結構中非常狡猾地實施,不僅通過中國,而且包括通過美國政府。他們說要非常關注加州。因為他們的“章程”與這種政權相互聯繫,這是基於全球控制的議程,這不是基於對美國的寧靜和主權議程。這是基於全球議程。這條章程 - 任何看過加利福尼亞的人,以及那裡發生的事情,你都會看到它。
