《副院長的專責病房日記》
北榮高壽延副院長,2013年我認識他時,人已經苦不堪言。當時他是台北榮總口腔外科主任。而我「流浪」了三家醫院,每日發燒38度,右臉唾液腺腫大疼痛,一天會冒出幾次一個大魚丸⋯⋯過會兒又消失。
歷經幾次檢查,從判斷細菌感染,變成唾液腺結石⋯⋯住院快一個星期了,沒有什麼改善,終而打電話請教這位哈佛大學回來的名醫會診。
本來我躺在振興醫院,想自己帶著病歷過個街至榮總看他,請教他的意見:他卻二話不說,脫下白袍,穿著運動服,跑到振興醫院。「病人,不要動!」他說。
一入病房,他會診相關資料,即建議振興醫院要打最後一線抗生素:文茜現在已經是臉部蜂窩性組織炎!
之後在他的建議及振興院長魏崢的協助下,我才發現全球包括瑞士、法國、美國,只有九大醫院有解決我的疾病的顱部內視鏡手術。
幸好我的美國舅舅找到了其中之一紐約西奈山醫院,之後我從台灣搭機轉診至美國,以內視鏡手術取出石頭:第二次又插管麻醉,把顱內所有腺體的濃,全清乾淨。
前前後後,也折磨了快兩個月。
病痛期間,每個對我伸出手的,幫我度過生命大難關的人,他們都是我永遠的恩人。
如今高副院長又當起更多不幸染疫患者的大恩人。他每天守在北榮COVID 19專責重症病房,還天天寫下日記。
那天他走入專責新冠病毒病房,看到我送的小心意:香蕉,彼此打電話問候。我問他,一切可好?
他回:「不怕死的小弟和護理部主任每天來前線專責病房,為醫護第一線人員打打氣!」
「我,全身充滿抗體!!」
⋯⋯以下是高副院長近日的三天日記。
透過他的記錄,我看到一位卓越醫者的冷靜、慈悲、使命感,以及身處危險中依舊不變的幽默風趣。雖然他帶著N95,穿著防護衣,而且年近退休。

B107 13/30
週末路過瞧瞧108護理站正交班中,兩兩交班、白班話不停、小夜聚精會神,合起來就很熱鬧非凡。
CVSB CU 3/6 不增真好。
B097 CU 8/17 患者雖更少了,剩下不容易照顧,得再拖。
B098 13/36 正準備辦出院,通電話恭喜他。聽起來真的是很高興。
B087 15/34 需要每兩小時翻身的病患不在少數,聽副護理長表示:這一批比起原先修繕前輕症的一群,照顧起來有如天壤之別。
Cov+長照:難
Cov+長照+重症:更難
目前的CU就皆如此;醫療資源的投入極大。
B077 15/22 看起來大家又忙著着裝入艙了,由於78併入77,明顯房間內病患多起來。
B078 併入77後、將可作為一採陰後篩檢患者收納區。
綜上,防疫病房佔床率降低了,局部合併來發揮照顧的最大效益屬必然。
目前留置在專責病房的患者,久了沒能出院,許多都是高齡、臥床,相對也不好照料。即便Cov輕症區、還要看病患屬性樣態。
記得前兩天和明主任在思源通道上遠遠就瞧見胸腔部陳育民主任龐大的身形一個人匆忙走過。
在這場戰疫區中,育民就像古寧頭戰役和823炮戰時的金防部司令,直接面對敵軍炮火前線的戰地指揮官,拖著前陣子病一場的身體還這麼拼命、著實令人敬佩。
我們從去年二月起、一成立防疫會和防疫指揮體系,感控團隊傳染病科和急診部也都是整個單位投入戰場,起頭大小事每必問感控行不行可不可,連條路怎麼走都像在下"陷井棋"一樣。
偶像看到復德疲憊走路的神情和會中小閉眼睛即知分明。急診室絕不是好待之處,鴻章前兩年的山海關前險險走一回、依然強悍守住邊關、每每看到急診人員的重裝、分艙、篩檢,至今守住門戶、未見醫護人員出狀況。
當然今年五月起的防疫動員不只醫護、乃至所有指揮體系、醫企行政、後勤協力支援,都比過去規格更高、更深、更廣、也更靈活,單就前後兩年的個案數、床位數即知。
去年少數個案的"遭遇戰"累積了寶貴經驗給今年的"陸海空系統戰"得以快速有效的動員面對。
從今年第一個個案警報響起、迅速建立大量專責、資源爭取、順利照顧大量輕重症、體系應對有分,才能進而得以支援篩檢、支應大量疫苗注射。
以上在未來病歷經驗分享絕對很豐富足夠了。
回想在去年從TO31和中正144接敵作戰至今思源專責病房成立、收治高峯、至今疫情稍緩,北榮團隊有這麼多阿信、真是可貴。
回首天天下水、週週打球、恍如隔世!😶
* 6/28 週一
晨防會院長再度指示:
1、疫苗注射的重要性、政府特案團體注射也宜北榮量能請家醫部妥適規劃。
2、整體專責病房、隨疫情趨緩,病患漸少,進入整併期,空出的思源78暫收納疑似新冠、須入住但已一採陰患者。RCVB負壓隔離CU,目前先收治CM重症病患。
3、專責病房再增負壓隔離病房一案,委侯副和相關部門研議擬案。
4、鑑於北榮已有豐富Cov醫治經驗、委黃副研議教育課程分享國人(醫院&大眾)
5、⋯其他有點忘記了。
今全國60例、台北22例
整體專責Cov病患、持續出多入少。
B107 8/30 由週末13位劇降至8位,但剩餘病患多是高齡又Bed ridden、照顧起來格外辛苦。
王佩琮副護理長親自下海加入群鶯照護行列,協助翻身、餵食…。
難怪大夥像是時空穿梭、全嫁到了欽察汗國。~勤擦汗國~都濕透透才出得來。
一個白班遇到需翻身、餵食⋯麻煩的照護、有時甚且進出不只三次。
CVSB CU 3/6、2位仍用葉克膜、T031要來1位新朋友須用葉克膜 。
丁玉芝副護理長每遇明主任都會很專業慎重的回報血氧濃度、凝血⋯等Data;明主任年輕時在CVS CU、POR,所以在此每回來、都不敢怠慢。我實在在私下忍不住想告訴她們、明主任在別的地方都不問這些東東啊!免啦、明主任來給大家打氣的,不過還是憋住、不吭聲!離開時給大夥按👍!
B097 8/17 尚婉明副護理長每回可就滿分笑臉迎面而來。今天笑得最開心了,CU病患剩不到一半、當然剩下的多半也比較難照料。
開心之餘、秀了一下銓誠基金會,英業達葉國一董事長捐的保低溫背心,看起來很輕、隔離衣太熱時、內襯保涼的背心,挺有用。
B098 14/36
朱紋瑩護理長坐鎮,交接班護理師這樣多,都在衣服上鉛字筆寫上名字、有些用貼的,也難怪、大病房許多護理同仁調來調去,誰也記不得每位名字,大字貼身上、不也可乎!免寶寶裝就全用粗鉛字筆寫名字。
B087 18/30,其中15位依然是士林檢疫所長照病患,7月2號解隔日近了、一次全清空。
B077 12/22、 怡惠副護理長表示週末9個月大的小朋友已母子均安出院回家了,另外本院NP姐早也已帶著9歲兒子回家去了。二人同住母子檔皆出院,就剩下夫妻檔。
B078 9/22 9位一採陰患者入住,病情呈現多樣化,照顧的R和護理師都搖頭同表病情嚴重。
RCUB 6/18 已入了6位,看起來護理長滿緊張會不會真收Cov,大夥習慣RTCU大通艙照顧,突然加了前室、隔音太好反而有點麻煩又緊張。護理長明白表示、擔心裡面出狀況!離開前阿長手指天花板、要請工務室抓漏。
總之、未來病患再降、空了趁機修修是可行;至於增加專責負壓隔離CU病房,方案該如何選擇,靜候佳音!其實暫時都不動、該也是選項之一吧!
小夜、天母運動公園400米10圈,和游1公里差可比擬!
戴N95下水不知感覺如何?一定不容易嗆到吧!
未來北榮Cov課程分享,怎麼樣辦該思考,一、兩天課程效果和內容都不會比現行它院會有明顯差別。例如、倘以長期每週六播放預錄的兩小時線上課程,不但內容可涵蓋面廣,和全國分享北榮豐富經驗、該當不錯,怎樣都不該只操到感控、胸腔團隊,最近他們都被操到快不行了。
希團隊醫護保持戰果、疫情緩、病患減;所有程序流程不能簡,永保平安!

隨著北市疫情舒緩、數字停留在13。
CVSB CU 3/6 不增真好。
B097 CU 8/17 患者週六、日CU進出呈現停滯非壞事,重症靜待變輕症、另無新入重症。
B098 13/36 今日也是白班小夜進出各一、恰恰扯平。
B087 15/34 由於收的是前兩天原先陸續入住的長照病患,也並無變動。
B077 13/22 今輕症痊癒出2位、明再出1位。
B078 陸續上5位,但雖一採陰、待二採解隔,二採間隔期依舊不能掉以輕心,隔離防護依舊在、有得小夜班喘忽忽的忙!
隨著北市的疫情漸緩,新案連續多日不到50位,這也反映了我們病人收治的實際狀況。
希望幾個重要的大型批發市場早日恢復正常,中央的PCR降價和精準篩檢政策配合的天衣無縫,北農圈篩似已箭在弦上,由於流動來往人口多,情況和封閉的單位來比較、更要複雜一些。
我們北榮病檢能量一流,大量收案池化PCR檢測、又能再一次為北榮爭光獲殊榮。那怕費用少了些,為國家社會盡一分力責無旁貸;一向淡定的病檢周主任聽到這麼多掌聲喝采之餘,不免要再回頭問問大家:各位到底仔細讀了我去年10月發表的精彩paper沒有?
5/10000這個摩術數字、疫情消失多年後將會在教課書中見到。周主任將留名青史、不是報紙喔!😆

非凡的卓越英文 在 國立臺灣大學 National Taiwan University Facebook 的精選貼文
【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.
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!

非凡的卓越英文 在 無神論者的巴別塔 Facebook 的最佳貼文
初步立過下李平響國安法生效後寫嘅蘋果文章,除咗一篇「特朗普刀刀見骨vs拜登鈍刀割肉」,暫時都見唔倒有咩符合違反國安法「鼓吹外國制裁香港」嘅嫌疑
而最大鑊係,就算呢篇文章本身,其實都只係客觀評論美國制裁中國效果,而無鼓吹意圖。如果咁都被拉,排住隊入冊都得
//對美國大選有一個很有趣的說法:中港兩地左派、右派都想特朗普贏。左派想他贏,搞垮美國;右派想他贏,搞垮中共。特朗普2016年當選總統後,最受詬病的就是內政外交都不按常理出牌。他高舉「美國優先」大旗,在國際上大玩「退群」,退出巴黎協定、TPP(跨太平洋夥伴協定)、聯合國人權理事會、世界衞生組織等國際組織或協議。國內外的批評者認為,特朗普的「退群」削弱了美國的領導地位,讓企圖引領全球治理體系改革、控制人類命運共同體的習近平有機可乘。
然而,當中共為特朗普的退群而竊笑時,隨即被特朗普的亂拳打懵了。2018年3月22日,特朗普簽署備忘錄,宣佈向中國商品徵收關稅,揭開中美貿易戰大幕。習近平一度拒絕簽署城下之盟,推翻了雙方談判協議,但終不敵國內政經亂象的壓力,在今年初付出2,000億美元的代價,簽署第一階段貿易協議。可笑的是,中共喉舌宣稱協議是「走向貿易止戰」的訊號,吹噓中美合作「離不開非凡的戰略眼光、卓越的政治智慧」。
如果說,特朗普在關稅問題上層層加碼、步步進逼,讓中共在貿易上不得不退讓,那麼,特朗普團隊在國際上吹響圍剿華為、圍堵中共的號角,並經由中共鎮壓香港反送中運動、隱瞞武漢肺炎疫情,也成為美國共和、民主兩黨的共識,得到民主世界廣泛響應。
很多人認為,特朗普對付中共的「亂拳」不合常理。他當選之初就與台灣總統蔡英文通電話,時不時自稱是習近平的好朋友,熱起來不惜降尊紆貴以總統身份與中國副總理簽署貿易協議,冷起來可以幾個月不與中國領導人溝通。突然關閉中國駐侯斯頓總領事館、禁止微信和TikTok、關閉孔子學院、大幅限制中國留學生人數、取消香港獨立關稅區地位、不承認「香港製造」等措施,更是拳拳到肉、刀刀見骨,讓中共疲於招架。
中共獲喘息或成霸主
美國沿用40年的對華接觸政策,結果是中共可以藉美國的民主、自由去攻擊美國、攻擊特朗普,可以藉國家安全之名來全面管控香港、推翻香港自治,顯示專制政權的邪惡是沒有底線的。面對如此政權,如果美國的一招一式都為中共洞穿,何異於等着挨打?只有「亂拳」才有打懵甚至打死老師傅的意外效果。
當然,對中共採取強硬政策已成美國主流。《香港民主與人權法案》、《香港自治法案》獲美國國會極速及高票通過,顯示港人抗爭贏得了美國和國際社會的堅定支持。因此,有不少人認定,即使拜登入主白宮會重返多個國際組織和協定,也不會逆轉對華政策,在中國人權、香港、南海等問題上會延續特朗普的強硬路線,更可能與其他民主國家有更好的協調,強化遏制中國的網絡,以鈍刀割肉形式對付中共。
且不說,拜登會否實施鈍刀割肉策略,但中共肯定可以獲得喘息機會。毛澤東曾告誡:「宜將剩勇追窮寇,不可沽名學霸王。」中共正藉環球深陷武漢肺炎危機、政治動盪、經濟疲軟,謀求人類命運共同體領袖地位,謀求成為環球霸主。美國如果再自縛手腳,放棄天下圍中的攻勢,只怕鈍刀不只不能割對手的肉,還會掉下去砸傷自己。這才是比美國大選結果更讓人憂心之處。//
