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!

#恐懼是正中下懷
//2020年7月1日,北京眼中香港「二次回歸」的日子。港區國安法橫空出世,不少朋友非常鬱悶,真正的香港再也不能回來,已成事實。
但7月1日,太陽還是如常升起。身處大時代,Rule Number One,永遠都是處變不驚,對身邊所有荒誕不經之事,見怪不怪。維持自己的節奏,不要被set agenda,在社會、職場、學校、婚姻,這都是唯一的成功之道。
根據官方agenda,我們自然應該非常緊張、非常恐懼、非常重視國安法。但結構上,國安法的內容從來不是主菜。真正的主菜,是香港的管治模式徹底改變,放棄了港英時代行之有效的工具理性、邏輯思辯,取而代之的是中式大而化之的「依法」威權管理。由於國安法的出現方式,讓香港全無角色可言,傳遞的訊息清晰不過:只要北京喜歡,隨時隨地可以收回「一國兩制」的任何權力,甚或「一國兩制」本身。所以在北京眼中,這是給香港人的「再教育」,要香港人日後懂得知所進退,接受「底線思維」,哪怕「底線」經常搬龍門,法律、章程都是服務政治需要,但也只能默默接受,而不是像昔日那樣以捍衛法治、捍衛專業之名擇善固執,因為「國家利益」大於一切。這種管治模式,就是教科書常見的威權管治:也許形式上還有一些民主、一些自由,但那只是「民主元素」、「自由元素」,真正的權力核心,在於遠方,也只在遠方。
由於回歸23年來,親建制的民意依然結構性地落後,新生代的中國認同更是屢創新低,國安法也是北京默認了根據正常方式、統戰,反正也爭取不了民意,不如索性放棄這一環。口號雖然是「人心回歸」,手法卻是恰巧相反,承認了人心沒有回歸。所以在新香港,平息民怨、讓人民不滿得到宣洩的透氣口一類傳統管治智慧,都不再適用。「群眾鬥群眾」,成為抵銷民意不足的「有效」模式,因此種種文革式密報、劃清界線、上崗上線行為,配合「人民群眾」的全天候「監督」,在未來一段長時間,會成為主流。官方agenda,會希望人與人之間的互信急劇降低,小報告、篤灰、特務文化成為常態,去瓦解由下而上的公民社會。走旁門左道的人,忽然感受到權力的亢奮,再缺乏任何監督、任何制約的環境,只會變本加厲,天天批鬥,這就是未來兩年的主旋律,必須有心理準備。
由於民意始終不利北京,如何打散公民社會的團結,也就成了重中之重,整頓各行各業精英、改變大眾媒體規範、讓教育以國家利益為出發點、讓政府各部門「依法」強化proactive執行力,會是未來兩年重點「工作」。因此,最受國安法影響的「一小撮人」,除了明顯有證據的「黑四類」,必然包括廣義有影響力的人,因為有了「依法治國」和「國家利益高於一切」兩大綱領,無論有沒有國安法,單是公安條例,或任何一條普普通通的法律,都可以「依法」打擊值得整頓的人,例如艾未未的罪名是逃稅。而當一個人有了千萬粉絲,即使完全不涉政治,也可以成為對象,例如范冰冰的罪名,也是逃稅。上有好者,全民逐漸會習慣自我審查、自我閹割,去避免觸碰「底線」:不只是有沒有突破官方紅線,還包括不要讓自己太有影響力這條實質底線。
弔詭的是,假如你是一個遊客,大概不可能從外觀感到香港已經被奪舍。表面上,歌舞昇平,一切如常,樓股暢旺,馬照跑舞照跳,完全滿足了殷海光《人生的意義》的最底層需求,直到大局底定。這大概就是二次回歸的劇本。只要中美鬥爭的大劇本,需要另案處理,不贅。
以上這些,身在其中的大家,自然心裡明白。但是否就只能長嗟短嘆?究竟2019年以來,真正的初心,在超越微觀政治的宏觀層面,又是甚麼?難道真的只有「順民、移民、暴民」?我們的節奏,應該是怎樣?
事實上,去年至今的整場運動,無論口號是甚麼,本來就是全球大變革的一環,不只是政治變革,還是第四次工業革命的一環。在未來世界,固定工作已不可能,各行各業都沒有退休保障,人工智能取代智力密集工作後,生涯規劃再也沒有單一方程式。因此,新生代擁抱改變的決心很大,不願依靠單一工作的視野也很清晰。無須依靠政府、建制、財團,也能自力更生,尋找人生的獨立自主,本來就是全球大趨勢。香港上一代的超穩定結構,到了下一代,早已不能持續下去,對下一代而言,這是「攬炒」的結構性基礎。既然忍氣吞聲,也不代表有一份保障一生的荀工,為甚麼不嘗試自行建立自己的事業,去儘量減少對政治環境的依附?
不少朋友開始談及移民。其實早在十年前,當媒體不斷炒作我是否「移民」新加坡,我就不斷說同樣的話:「移民」的概念非常前現代,早已過時。在過去一年,身在海外的香港人貢獻運動較多,還是身在山頂的離地港豬較多?即使我們同時持有加拿大護照、在新加坡工作、週末渡假到日本、飲食去台灣、子女在英國讀書、投資基金卻來自美國,對我們的「香港人」identity,有甚麼影響?當整整一年授課,都可以使用zooming,我們身在香港還是剛果,又有甚麼分別?假如我們沒有去或留的概念,本來就同時以幾個地理位置為家,以虛實相間的方式連結起來,無懼世事變改,這個不才是真香港?
威權政體能打壓的內容,從來有一個特色:永遠不可能訴諸普通法能理解的邏輯和文字。例如說《願榮光歸香港》不能在校園唱,那麼《海闊天空》呢?《Blowing in the Wind》呢?要是說「五大訴求」也不能說,5+1手勢呢?以五一為標記的衣服呢?難道五一勞動節也要取締?當抗爭的意識,已經植入骨髓,而政府無道,已成為common sense,抗爭的形式,已經大可進化,評論的需要卻大大降低,這才是be water的真諦。就像六十年代的波蘭、捷克,打壓只會比新香港更嚴重,但民間也總有方式維持下去。放在全球化時代的今天,這些方式無須「勾結外國勢力」,也自然能走向國際,連結海內外香港人。難道一定要重複「畫面好靚」的回憶,才能sustain?
即使你沒有走出comfort zone的勇氣創業、當slashers,不願意離開物理香港,連一個黃色頭盔鎖匙扣也不敢用,逼於無奈要當順民,甚至即使你是一位藍絲,只要你不屬於那20%的深藍社群,對香港還是很有價值的。因為在「新香港」,你反而要更思考一個切身問題:我身在那個環境,相對「新香港人」,究竟有甚麼相對優勢?假如你想不到,無論如何表忠,沒有其他價值,也只會成為condom。但只要你生存下去,香港人的長處,就依然能發揚光大。例如在中資公司,他們是否依然需要香港簽名負責due diligence?在官僚機構,他們是否依然需要具國際視野的創意思維,去同時應對愛國規範+國際規範?
不少朋友對新香港的「思想改造」最憂慮,即使是淺藍、中藍家長,由他們會否送子女到本地、非直資學校,身體最誠實,說明一切。但其實全球教育理念,早已confirm傳統班房、1 to many的19世紀普魯士式教學,已經嚴重過時。現在講求的是personalized learning、通過大數據讓每人被因材施教、通過學生的親身經歷和發問,去建構每人獨一無二的知識體。但新香港推崇的,完全相反,以為靠syllabus、marking scheme、規管老師言行、辦學團體向校長施壓、家長學生互相監控一類行為,就能「打造」愛國新一代。誰也知道,不可能;反而靠抖音洗腦,還可行。由下而上、個人化教育乃全球大勢,不能逆轉,「新香港」把教育搞死,只會急速催生替代教育。有了網絡、有了對香港友善的國際環境,難道學習只能一成不變?
國安法最要打擊的對象,據說是勾結外國勢力。但香港卻是全球國際聯繫最強的地方,記得看過一個調查,大概每三、四個香港人,就有一個有廣義的國際聯繫:有親人在海外、曾在海外讀書或工作、有業務或投資在海外、甚或在僱用海外傭工……根本無須「勾結」,香港就是國際一環。2020年的香港,處於國際文明衝突的斷層,中國威權模式 Vs 西方自由模式接近水火不容,以大數據監控 Vs以個人私隱規範人工智能,會成為抉擇。只要國際網絡繼續存在,香港人自然而然的就融為一體,何須擔心一時三刻由上而下的高壓?
說了那麼多,意思很簡單:香港人早已融入世界「時代革命」,本來的方向一直堅持下去,已經足夠。Be Water,必須成為未來一段長時間的哲學,要揚棄的是對任何事情非黑即白的binary 思維,與及期望今天做這事明天就有結果的線型linearism。明白了這些,就會有持久戰的心理、生理和物質準備。
以下是我的選擇。說是否離開,諷刺地自從18歲生日,我反而從未試過如此長期留在香港,除了疫情原因,也是感到不捨。我的工作、居住範圍,一向同時在幾個地方,這是十年前開始的刻意規劃,今天大家自然明白為甚麼。因此,我自然不會因為新香港而改變,不會因為要宣示甚麼而不離境,更不會因為要宣示甚麼而不入境回來。對各位朋友,忠告也是一樣:建立一個跨地域人生基礎,進退有道,虛實相間,global+local,才是未來之道;不是說每人都要自己建立,但也可以進入已建立的天地。
至於甚麼「說會否說話小心點」,我的職業從來就不是寫評論,文字、video只是作為一個香港人的分享,只有理性邏輯,從前是怎樣,未來就是怎樣,對上崗上線的騷擾,我們應該有足夠成熟程度一笑置之。當人人煞有介事說一件荒謬的事,並不會令事情變得不荒謬;白色恐怖除了是他製的,也是自製的。根本每人都討論自己「安全」,已經中計,假如連這點EQ training也不能pass,香港人又怎能自傲?
至於工作,我一直相信全球香港人網絡就是一個龐大經濟體,足以生存、足以壯大,也足以回饋香港。這是一代人的共同機遇,相對於當所謂KOL,對我而言,這方面,反而應該是更能做實事的地方。說到底,北京是高度計算的政權(只是計算方式和我們很不同),我深信當香港人(而不只是香港)不能取代的價值得以彰顯,就是出現社會新契約的一天,所以,這是累積底氣的時候,不爭朝夕。
越是漫漫長路,越是平常心。未來兩年會尤其荒誕,但經過這經歷,才能千錘百鍊。大家坐穩,同步過冬。//
proactive反義 在 10 mins coffee break Facebook 的精選貼文
選擇困難症朋友集合點🙋🏻♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
也有選擇困難症的朋友在嗎?我也是其中一名,食飯時想不到吃什麼好,看中了一件衣服時又不知選那隻色好,整理屋企的時候更不知什麼要留什麼要丟🤷🏻♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
也許選擇難就難在選擇背後包含了責任,因為,你一選擇了,責任便歸你。⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
最近又重看了「與成功有約」(The 7 habits of highly effective people) 這本書,當中提及的7個高效人士習慣中第一個便是 「proactive 主動積極」,作者史蒂芬‧柯維(Stephen Covey)提到,這7個習慣是有順序性的,則是,你要做到1,然後再做2,3 等其餘習慣才最有成效。那你可想而知「主動積極」這第一個習慣有多重要,因為若你做不到這一點,之後那6個習慣也都難以達到了。⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
「選擇」和主動積極這一個習慣有著很大的關聯,當你願意去作出選擇,不論是容易的或是艱難的選擇,你都已經開始實行這個習慣,也代表著你離高效和成功愈來愈近。⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
生命的意義在於選擇,因為選擇決定了你是誰。⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
你是離「理想的你」愈來愈近?還是愈來愈遠?這也是你每天也在做的選擇。我們需要做的,不是專注在什麼我們需要棄掉,相反,我們要做的,是要主動追求我們想留下的,能令我們心動的,覺得重要的人事物。⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
那,我們便已經離「理想的自己」愈來愈近了。⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
