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.

「positive attitude example」的推薦目錄:
positive attitude example 在 James Huang (黃政堯) Facebook 的最佳解答
你/妳相信心態影響一切嗎?
You, do u believe in a mind-set towards attitude has an impact towards everything?
壁球的發球對於初學者很重要,
但你知道選手更應該重視發球與接發球嗎?
Squash’s serving is very important for a beginner; especially for a starter, should focus on serving and receiving a ball...
一次來回裡面的第一球。
這一球你是發了再決定做什麼?
還是打到最好,來逼迫對手製造機會?
For the first ball, do u think of serving it first casually and then see how it goes afterwards? Or, try to serve your best to a corner with a tough angle for competitor to receive? Forcing competitor to provide you a better opportunity to react?
第一球就可看出( 你的心態在哪裡 )
The act of first ball will see your mentality towards your competitor/game
————————
努力之外,還要懂的有效利用所有資源,
在比賽的時候,好好思考什麼對自己才是有利的,什麼才能幫助自己發揮表現,但當然是以運動家風範的前提下。
Besides working hard, need to know how to maximize all attainable resources. During competition, need to think thoroughly as to what are advantageous points to you. Which areas to focus could assist you in maximize deployment...of course under sportsmanship’s
看PSA球員有時候都會對著裁判碎念:
Some PSA players using this strategy by keep mumbling to referees...
「他已經累了,他跑不到故意來撞我」
For example...a player would say “he is tired...he could not run to the ball so he would just run to me...”
真正的目的卻是在激勵自己,同時烙印對手,讓他覺得自己真的已經累了。
This strategy is to:
1. Encourage and motivate himself;
2. Make his competitor believing he is really tired...
烙印、同時改變對手心態。
This act and/or strategy is to imprint and change your competitor’s mentality/mindset/thinking...
21歲埃及選手Youssef Ibrahim在近期卡達公開賽,贏過世界第二名El Shorbagy進入八強。
21 year old Egyptian player Youssef Ibrahim won over Shorbagy whom is ranked number 2 in the world. Youseff Ibrahim enter into Top 8.
「你擁有很多潛力,繼續下去你也能成為世界第一」
You have lots of potential. Keep working hard, you could become world number 1。
這句話是賽後Shorbagy對著後輩說的,這句話也會深深烙印在Ibrahim的腦子裡。
The above statement was said to Youssef by Shorbagy. This statement will always be remembered deeply by Youseff.
———————
我帶學生,很重視這種觀念與Mindset
觀念就像放種子在土壤裡,短期或許看不出變化,但隨著學生的心態就會影響成長的速度。
With my teaching to students, I emphasize the importance of this mentality and mindset, mindset is like a seed planted in the ground, in short term period of time, you could not noticed its impact. But, as the time progresses, the right mindset being planted will have a profound impact on outcome!
當你知道自己做對什麼、什麼做的不夠好,你就懂的怎麼去看待與因應,你也就更能理解對手的目的與想法在哪邊、如何去應對。
When you could clearly observe what has being doing right, or what has not being doing enough, you would then understand how to face obstacles with right approaches and methods. You could then understand your competitors’ thinking and how to react to his strategy.
————
這觀念也不只限於用在球場裡,場外也是一樣。
The same philosophy applies to outside of court.
以前某體育大學裡的教授,當面對著我說:
There was a professor in a sports focused college once said to me:
「你這種學生我見多了,沒多久也就不會再碰壁球了」當時我很氣憤。
I have seen enough of students that don’t last too long in playing squash..
現在回頭想想,那教授是因為他學生都是如此?還是因為他是帶著這種心態去帶學員?所以才會如此呢?
In looking back, could it be that professor was having a passive attitude that caused his students in thinking passively?
「我相信教練的心態,影響學生很大的」
I firmly believe that a coach’s mindset has a profound impact to his students...
————
期盼AJ的學生都能有烙印正向與獨立思考能力
Wishing all AJ Squash students think and imprint with positive mindset as well has ability to think independently
「烙印住每一次打到目標點的感受」
「記憶自己贏球的喜悅」
那份喜悅與渴望,就是推動我們打到更多的動力。
Imprint and conceive deeply arise from each feeling resulting from a focus target
獨立思考自己要的是什麼:
「找個心態、步頻跟自己一樣的人同行」
如果沒有,那就選擇獨行吧。
Think independently is critical in figuring out what is once’s own goal. Pairing with someone that has similar desire and goal setting...If you can not find that person, stride along....
Mindset不一樣,就已經存在不同世界一樣。
When mindset is steering into different direction, you have already venture into a different environment and world
你/妳今天AJ了嗎?
Have you AJ today?
