  1. Dear .......: :
    Thanks for the reception that you arranged for me yesterday. I am so happy that we had a very successful interaction between me and your teachers at this occasion. Take this moment everybody may retrospect or even introspect ourselves, to think the reasons or the causes that decreed our competitive. The headline of today’s 中國時報 reveals the truth that school teachers reluctant to face, which shows our nation competitive drop badly. It needs not to say that our education is in struggle. See the links that I attached below:

    We are not fighting or arguing at the political issues, what we have to know is the problems of our education. As a scholar, I’m quite understood my obligation and responsibility.
    Please see the posting that I had in my blogger:

    “Do you want to spent the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?”

    It would be highly appreciated if you can pass this note to your teachers!
    Best regards

  2. My Dear Professor,
    It's really our honor to be able to invite such a devoted scholar as you to give us teachers an unforgettable lecture. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to you, Professor.
    Indeed, Taiwan's decreasing competitiveness is worrisome. Nevertheless, little do many people contemplate on the root cause. Apart from the government's inefficiency and incompetence, the declining competitiveness of human resources in Taiwan must be the point, which reveals the problems in education. With most teachers' reluctance to invest their enthusiasm and to change their pedagogy prevailing in Taiwan, so-called education reform would be fruitless.
    To tell you the truth, your speech is really enlightening, and you open a new era for education. E-learning is the trend that no one could resist.
    We all highly appreciate your ambition and enthusiasm. There are still a lot for us to learn from you.
    Hope to attend your lecture soon.
