古云：四十五者為俊傑，轉眼間，我也到了俊傑之年，人生充滿了意外，因此我想把這些話先留下來，作為紀錄。
親愛的孩子們，學生最重要的工作就是學習與成長，而學習永無止境。
我曾經說過，學習大致可以分成兩類：語言──包括英語、中文、台語、數學、甚至音樂、程式語言等；以及興趣──像是溜冰、棒球、小提琴、或機器人。
語言需要不斷學習精進；至於興趣，既然是自己選的，就必須全心投入，全心參與。
成績固然重要，但不是唯一。我真正希望的，是你們能 為自己的努力感到驕傲。當結果不理想時，更要學會 誠實面對自己。因為誠實才能帶來真正的 integrity──一種完整、一致與真誠。
在我四十五歲生日這一天，我心懷感謝，也明白愛要及時表達。
我自己希望自己能持續學習、修正、成長，直到成為能讓自己與愛自己的人感到驕傲，孩子，希望你自己也能找到自己的路，追尋自己的真善美。
祝福

Life is full of unexpected turns, so I want to leave these words as a record.
My dear children, as students, your most important task is to learn and to grow. Learning never ends.
I once told you that it falls into two main areas: languages—such as English, Mandarin, Hokkien, mathematics, and even music—and interests—like skating, baseball, violin, or robotics.
For languages, you must keep improving. For interests, since you choose them yourselves, you must commit fully and give your best effort. What matters most is not talent alone, but full participation.
Grades do matter, but they are not the only thing. What I truly hope is that you can always be proud of your work. And when results are not ideal, remember: the most important lesson is to be honest with yourself. For only honesty leads to true integrity—a life that is whole, consistent, and genuine.
On my 45th birthday, I am grateful for what my family has taught me, and I am reminded that love should always be expressed in time.
My wish is that you will keep learning, correcting, and growing—and that you will also walk on the path of transcendence, seeking goodness, truth, and beauty—until you become people who make both yourselves and those who love you proud.
With love and blessings.
