自爆小學曾作弊 台大教授、總統創新獎得主葉丙成︰不要為社會期待而活
中國時報【吳泓勳╱台北報導】
台大昨天舉辦畢業典禮，由總統創新獎得主，PaGam0╱Boni0新創團隊共同創辦人、台大電機系教授葉丙成以「拿掉標籤，還剩下什麼？」發表演說。他勉勵畢業生「放下台大標籤」，不要再為社會期待的頭銜、學歷而活，而是活出個人價值，如同大家只會知道嚴長壽是誰，而不記得他的學歷。他更以自己小學作弊故事向畢業生示警，「再大的榮譽與成就都不值得出賣自己的良心」。

施振榮：我有聽媽媽的話 做對社會有用的事
2016-06-06 12:00 聯合報 記者鄭語謙╱即時報導
宏碁創辦人施振榮今天到師大演講，他表示，台灣競爭力必須把「價值除以成本」，施政者不能只看見政治、管理，卻忽略社會風氣、環保這些隱性價值，價值必須是「利他」。他也呼籲大學生一生都要「學習、學習、再學習」，他說自己直到現在從沒放棄過任何一個學習的機會，付出的學費超過上百億，即使失敗都是種學習。施振榮笑說，小時候媽媽就告訴他，要做對社會有用的人，而他「有聽媽媽的話」，每天都想讓自己更有用。
My comments: My prayer for my son always ends with "Let him exert himself and make contributions to society, to the world."

My good friend Annie's article about the breakfast she prepares for her family is run in today's UDN. This morning, when I saw the photo, which looks familiar to me, I knew the article was hers. Annie shares the breakfast she makes every day with me and her FB friends. She has her own style.

Wei-li & Wei-chi, Bravo!
This evening, I went to a violin & piano concert with two former colleagues, Li-chu, Ching-ju, and Ching-ju's husband at Ms. Hong's invitation. Guess what! The pianist whose recital I attended around a month ago sat next to us, the second one from the right. I was really excited! I paid her my sincere compliments and got her permission to have photos taken with her.

兩種孩子…獨居倉庫他惜福 被捧手心他混日
2016-06-05 02:23 聯合報 李寶珍／國中教師（新北市）
國中會考成績公布，有許多成績亮麗的考生來自弱勢家庭，有的是單親家庭，有的是新住民子女，更有雙親皆不在身邊照顧的，但是他們不向命運低頭，如同小枝椏在充滿礫石乾旱的困境中成長茁壯，開出燦爛的花朵。
其中有一位滿級分的孩子，自己一人獨居倉庫苦讀，他說想念爸媽，但是只能用功念書，讓自己念到累了睡著；還說雖然爸媽不在身邊，但是感恩一路照顧他的學校師長及叔婆，讓他能有棲身之所安心念書。

洪蘭／心智健全發展 勝過明星學校
2016-06-04 02:29 聯合報 洪蘭 （中央大學認知神經科學研究所教授）
今年哈佛大學的畢業典禮，代表研究生上台致詞的是一位大陸湖南農村長大的博士生，他在上大學之前不曾進過城，也不曾補過習。他說當左右鄰居都去城市打工時，他父母不願他成為留守兒童，選擇留在家鄉種田。農家生活清苦，但是不管白天多累，他父親晚上一定會給他講睡前故事。
My comments: Bedtime stories not only stirred his imagination but strengthened the bond between his father and him.

When Friends Are There, It Is Different
My sister-in-law's funeral was held this morning.
When seeing her friends, my mom-in-law's friends, and my relatives at the funeral, I felt touched. At the signt of a friend of my sister-in-law's crying bitterly and looking like she regretted much not seeing her for a long time, only to attend her funeral, I cried too.
