“Would you rather eat well or train hard?”
This or that, right or wrong, good or bad. This concept of duality very much drives the world we live in. Which is no wonder why many get confused and lost along the way.
Should I do this or that to lose weight? Is this workout good or bad? Is this diet right or wrong?
Truth is, growth happens in the grey area.
We’ve got a lifetime to work on our health, yet many are impatient when it comes to appreciating the journey.
Think about this: the FINAL destination in life is death.
So why are we rushing to achieve “goals”?
American philosopher Ken Wilber once said: “You can choose to die old and well OR young and diseased”.
How about making the CONSCIOUS choice to eat well AND train hard, while allowing yourself the simple pleasures of life?
This is how I’ve spent the past 2 years shifting my mindset, allowing to myself to live a more wholesome and fulfilling life.
I invite you to do so too! No secret formulas, just learning to become aware.
✌🏼& ❤️

【國立臺灣大學109學年度畢業典禮 致詞代表 資訊工程學系韓哈斯】
Student Address, National Taiwan University Commencement 2021
International student Seth Austin Harding from Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering
.
校長、教授、以及在螢幕前的各位同學,大家好。非常感謝臺大給我這個機會。我是韓哈斯,來自美國華盛頓特區。我會以自身的真實經驗出發,來跟大家分享臺大帶給我的收穫。
我當初為什麼選擇來台灣求學呢?我小時候非常喜歡看武打片,然後我十歲的時候去看了一部電影叫做「功夫熊貓」。這部電影成為了我最喜歡的電影,主角「阿波」的故事跟我的故事很像。我看完了之後就決定要開始學功夫,所以去了「美國武術學院」。那個時候我每天都聽旁邊的人講中文,到了高中我就決定開始學中文。當時我遇到了一位貴人,她是從台北到美國來教書的中文老師,她教的課是我當時最喜歡的課,我每天去她的教室跟好朋友練習。到了高中畢業時,我是全高中中文最好的非母語人士。同時,我第二喜歡的課程是電腦科學,那時候我是程式能力數一數二的學生。後來在成功錄取夢寐以求的學校:臺灣大學之後,我感到雀躍不已,因為我既可以繼續學習中文,也可以持續在世界頂尖的學府中,往電腦科學的方向精進自我。
不過老實說,當我回顧大一的時期,我也曾迷失自我。雖然我修了很多很多的中文課,但是我那時只聽得懂大概一半的課程內容。跟大家對美國人的印象不同,我其實很害羞,也很害怕舉手提問,我甚至不太敢參與社交,所以當時朋友也很少。我開始想家,也變得有一點憂鬱。那時籃球是我唯一的紓壓方式。
但更不幸的是,我在打籃球時弄傷了我的前十字韌帶,做了兩次手術,需要一年半才能恢復。許多的負面情緒壓得我喘不過氣。我被困在人生的低谷,不知如何是好。我覺得我的中文不夠好,我也被診斷出失眠跟ADHD,另外,美國高中的數學太簡單了,來這邊不夠用。種種壓力讓我足不出戶,找不到自己的人生方向。後來,我向臺大心輔中心以及我的心理醫師尋求協助,然後我也開始跟系上有更多互動。有一位教授叫徐宏民跟我說,"Never give up",雖然那時候我覺得這句話太過於簡化了我的問題,不過,在我仔細思考了一個禮拜之後,我下定決心,發誓不讓自己被這些事擊敗。我決定要克盡全力,認真做好每件事。這是我人生的轉捩點,我開始變得異常自律。當時廖世偉教授和洪士灝系主任帶我進入它們的研究室鑽研學術。這重燃了我對資訊工程的熱忱,提醒了我當初會愛上這個領域的原因。我開始研究人工智慧以及區塊鏈,也開始跟其他系上同學交朋友,一起成立臺大人工智慧應用社NTUAI。NTUAI現在是校內頗具規模的技術研究社團,致力於推廣人工智慧給任何對該領域有熱忱的學生。歡迎加入NTUAI,可以掃描我們的QR CODE。
最近,由於疫情的緣故,我已經一年半沒回美國了。但是沒關係,因為我已經找到了我第二個家。我很愛臺大,以及台灣的人事物。雖然我經歷了人生的低潮,但這裡的一切總是給我滿滿的祝福與協助。最後,我想送給大家「功夫熊貓」裡的一句台詞: "You just need to believe"。只要用樂觀的態度去面對困難,就有能力改變自己,甚至改變身旁所愛的人。就像阿波的父親說的,"心誠則靈,只要你相信,點石就能成金。根本沒有什麼秘笈。只有你。"謝謝大家。

==============================

President, professors, and classmates, I'm very honored to be here. Thank you to NTU for giving me this opportunity. My name's Seth Austin Harding, and I'm from the D.C. metropolitan area. I'm going to tell a real story that's personal but that's relatable and what I see as the real me.
What motivated and guided me to take my undergraduate studies in Taiwan? When I was very young, I really loved watching kung fu movies, and when I was 10 years old, I went to the theater to watch "Kung Fu Panda". This became my favorite movie as I felt like the story of the main character Po was one to which I could very much relate. After watching this movie, I decided that I wanted to start learning kung fu, so I went to the United States Wushu Academy. At the time, I began hearing Mandarin on a daily basis, so when I was in high school, I decided to begin formally studying Chinese. It ended up being my Chinese teacher from Taipei who was my favorite teacher who taught my favorite class, so I decided I'd hang out in the Chinese classroom every day and practice lots. By the time graduation came around, I had attained the highest proficiency in Chinese among any non-native speaker in my school. My second favorite class was computer science, and I ended up attaining among the best coding skills in my school. After getting accepted to the school of my dreams -- National Taiwan University -- I felt honored, humbled, and excited; I could now spend time at among the world's finest universities studying Chinese and at the same time advancing my knowledge of computer science.
But when I look back at my freshman year, to be honest with you, I didn't know what I was doing. Despite having taken very many Chinese classes, when I went to the NTU lectures, I understood only about half of what the teachers were saying. Contrary to most people's impressions of an American, I was actually too shy to raise my hand, to ask questions, or to even meet with teachers after class, so I had very few friends at the time. I started to become homesick and depressed. At that time, I found that basketball was the only way I knew of relieving my stress. However, while playing basketball, I had torn my ACL and it would take two surgeries and a year and a half in time to fully recover. At this point, I felt caught between a rock and a hard place. In fact, this was the lowest point of my life, and I didn't know what to do. I felt like my Chinese wasn't good enough, I had been diagnosed with insomnia and ADHD, and I felt like the math taught in America was too simple to allow for me to keep up with my classmates. I was under immense pressure, and at this time, I lost any sense of purpose or direction. Later on, I went to seek help from NTU counseling, from my psychiatrist, and from my department. I reached out to Professor Winston Hsu from CSIE, and he told me this: "Never give up"; it was such an oversimplified way to approach such a complex series of problems, I had thought. However, I pondered these words intensely for one week, and by the end of that week, I had made a firm decision. This would NOT be another example of me giving up. I decided to go all out, to work diligently and passionately on all tasks at hand. This was the turning point of my life; I started to discipline myself to a very high degree. At this time, I met my then-to-become advisors Professor Shih-Wei Liao and Professor Shih-Hao Hung and entered their labs to begin research. Finally, the passion that I had for computer science that I had previously held in high school was kindled again, and I was finally reminded why I loved this field. I began my research life in blockchain and AI, and at the time I entered the lab, I also began creating NTUAI. NTUAI is now a large and highly successful NTU club that is dedicated to the research and public understanding of AI. Welcome one and all to join us; please scan our QR code here.
For a year and a half I haven't returned to America because of covid. But not to worry; I have found my second home, away from home. I love it here in NTU and I cherish all of the things I've had the privilege to experience in Taiwan. I've gone through the most difficult of struggles in my life here, but I've also had the most fortunate and blessed of experiences. To conclude, I'd like to quote a line from "Kung Fu Panda": "You just need to believe". As long as you are willing to adopt an optimistic attitude in facing challenges and hardships, you may become a positive force in changing the lives of those around you as well as your own life. It all depends on how you view it; just like what Po's father says, "there is no secret ingredient. It's just you." Thank you, everyone.

american life learning 在 美國在台協會 AIT Facebook 的最讚貼文
⭐️五月是美國亞太裔傳統月!美國亞太裔外交官在美國國務院扮演重要的角色,在AIT的運作上更是如此!在整個五月份,我們將為各位介紹AIT亞太裔官員的重要貢獻。今天要和大家介紹的是政治組官員黃光杰(Jason Hwang)的故事。
📚雖然我在美國出生,但很幸運的是,我小時候有在台北的國語日報語文中心學了一個暑假的中文。在那之後,我就愛上了牛肉麵等台灣美食,可惜在美國和世界各地要找到這麼道地的台灣美食不是那麼容易。我的爸媽和老師非常用心良苦,但我還是不太會讀寫注音符號ㄅㄆㄇㄈ或漢字,不過這也給了我外派到台灣前,到美國在台協會華語學校學中文的機會!畢竟,少壯不努力,老大徒傷悲……不管派到世界哪裡, 我都很榮幸能夠代表美國,可是我的胃 (和我的心) 特別開心能回到台灣!-- 政治組官員黃光杰
⭐️It’s Asian-American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! AAPI diplomats are a vital part of the State Department, and especially our AIT operation! All month, we look forward to featuring the important contributions of our AAPI colleagues. Today we are sharing Political Section Officer Jason Hwang’s story with you.
📚Being born in America, I was lucky to spend a summer of my childhood learning Chinese at the Mandarin Daily News Language Center in Taipei. I gained a lifelong love for Taiwanese snacks like beef noodles that has not always been easy to satisfy during my years in the United States and around the world. Despite the best efforts of my teachers and parents, I did not gain a lasting capacity to read or write in either phonetics (ㄅㄆㄇㄈ) or Chinese characters (漢字). Happily, this meant I was asked to study at AIT's Chinese Language and Area Studies School before beginning my assignment. After all, 少壯不努力 老大徒傷悲 (If you don’t work hard when you’re young, your life will be much harder when you’re old). I am proud to represent the United States no matter where I serve but my stomach (and heart) are particularly thrilled to be back in Taiwan. -- AIT Political Officer Jason Hwang

Years ago we tested Jun on his ability to tell the difference between "L" and "R" sounds, which was rather difficult for him! The Japanese language only has the "R" sound, which actually ends up somewhere in between an American English "R" and "L". This makes differentiating "R's" and "L's" one of the most difficult parts of learning English for a native Japanese speaker. Years ago, even sounding nearly fluent in English, it was quite difficult for Jun! But has he gotten better at it since??? MAYBE! Time for a test!

Go to https://buyraycon.com/xiaomanyc for 15% off your order! Brought to you by Raycon. The U.S. State Department’s Foreign Service Institute ranks Arabic as one of the top 4 most difficult languages to learn for English speakers right up there with Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Plus every Arabic-speaking country has its own very different dialect of Arabic, making it even harder to learn. So recently I accepted the challenge and spent 16 hours learning a colloquial form of Gulf Arabic with a Sudanese Dubaian tutor, and then I hit the streets of New York City’s Arabic neighborhoods which contain Arabic speakers from all over the Middle East. This video is the first time I’ve ever tried speaking Arabic with people in real life, and it was an incredible experience exploring these Arabic markets and restaurants in NYC and chatting with locals. If you’d like to check out some of the markets and restaurants featured in the video, some of my favorites are:

座位:
大致良好,有些位置頗奇怪,像是後面有柱子所以很窄,或是電腦放在櫃子上、腳放
在櫃子裡考之類的。不過除了這兩個位置之外的感覺都普通。有一個位置在空調下面
有一點小吵,但考生婉拒換座位。
護照:
今天有兩個考生不合格,一個是拿身份證、一個是拿大陸通行台灣地區的東西,都被
考官拒絕。請大家一定要帶護照。
空調:
很適合怕冷的人。因為我本身很容易流鼻涕,但托福考試是不允許考生帶衛生紙(監
考官說的),原本有帶外套去考試結果用不到。整個空調完全不冷,怕冷的考生得其
所哉,如果是怕熱的考生可能要自行斟酌。考場保持空氣流通的方法是不冷的冷氣加
電風扇。
物品放置:
所有考生統一將包包放在一個白色大桌子上(沒有個人置物櫃),而手機則是一個一
個考生收(發號碼牌領回)。
草稿紙:
每人三張,可在中途十分鐘休息時拿出一張寫過的換一張新的,也就是最多四張。
筆:
考場提供兩支削好的鉛筆,但可以攜帶自己的筆去用,好像也可以帶橡皮擦。
桌子:
桌子很小,A4大小的紙在放了鍵盤後只能放下半面。
耳機:
聽說是 ETS統一格規,用起來感覺沒什麼問題。一開始別人開始講口說時因為距離我
比較遠所以沒什麼影響,但後期大家都在講後很容易聽到別人講的內容。不過這方面
因為沒考過其他考場所以不能給太多評論,我猜大多數考場會全部人一起講時多少還
是會互相影響。
其他:
人員服務都很親切,但今天聽說因為颱風有可能停考,所以在溝通可能有問題的情況
下監考官遲到了。我八點到時門還沒開....,大概八點半監考官才來,加上機器測試
、入場檢查、錄誓詞只有兩個監考官加一台電腦,大概快十點才進去考。我第二個考
完中場休息大概在十一點五十開始、大概一點三十五分全部考完離開。
監考官考到中途休息時還會跟你聊天,怕緊張的人可以舒緩一下。
考場有提供廁所和飲水(飲食、水不能帶進考場),但廁所只有男女各一間,排隊可
能會比較久。
