【轉個彎旅行】那些過程教會我的事

人生淡泊，只是對金錢、美女和貪生而言；淡泊人生，對學業、事業、義務和職責絕不能淡泊。什麼叫淡泊？全宇宙儘我所充、而茫茫不顯我形，那萬有均涵於我內，我都不涵於萬有之中…老子  

        人生是短暫的，也是漫長的。

        Near Taipei 101, there is one special building catched up many people's eyes. After 188s Taipei 101 firework show, some people also shot off fireworks on the top of building and it took longer time than Taipei 101's. Therefore, somebody called it "Taipei 102". To be honest, I don't know its real name, but I like its style characteristic. Don't you think it's very beautiful?

             Taipei 101, whose official name is Taipei Financial Centre, is the tallest building in the world so far. It was designed by C.Y.Lee and partners and constructed by KTRT Joint Venture. Taipei 101's roof was completed on July 1,2003 and then opened for visitors. Since it completely built, it has been the most famous landmark in Taipei. There is also firewrok show every new year's eve. In 2007, more than 400,000 people came and enjoyed the happy moment tigether, so was I. I took some pictures from different ways and selected the four better ones. It was really crowded at that night. However, I still feel very worthy of seeing the firework show. The firework is instant but the meaning will exist forever.

    未來的歷史學家會說，這個世紀最重要的事情不是技術或網路的革新，而是…人將擁有選擇。” 彼得‧杜拉克

         隨著時代的進步，我們正一步步的走向網路社會，從一開始的少數人接觸資訊，到現在幾乎人人和電腦密切的互動，這樣生活型態的改變，自然也隱含了不少人類思維的轉變。從勞力到腦力，從製造到創造，從不平等到平等，從控制到授權，從消極到積極，我想向大家表達的是，在這資訊爆炸、日新月異的時代，傳統的束縛已被打破，只要你有創意，有想像力，就有恣意發揮的舞台，因此一個模子塑造出來的你已經不夠，二十一世紀要做最好的自己。

         今天的演講題目為「選擇的智慧」，如何做好選擇，是一種藝術，也是一種智慧，之前媒體常常問我為何要放棄微軟的優渥條件來到Google，我想那也是一種選擇，以下一個半小時的演講，我將就過去職場上的經驗，以及個人的一些體悟和大家分享八種選擇的智慧。
