清華三亞數學論壇致詞 (英文)

On behalf of the National Tsing Hua University (NTHU), also known as Hsinchu Tsing Hua, or just simply “the other Tsing Hua,” I would like to extend my hearty congratulations on the establishment of Tsing Hua Sanya Mathematical Forum. National Tsing Hua University shares the same root with Beijing Tsing Hua since we were founded by President Mei Yi-Chi in Hsinchu in 1956 and President Mei used to be the President of Beijing Tsing Hua during the period of 1931-1949. Furthermore, when NTHU was reinstalled in Hsinchu, it continued to be the beneficiary of the support from Tsing Hua Foundation which was established with the Boxers’ indemnity returned by the U.S. government and the same fund was used to establish Beijing Tsing Hua in 1911.

Today, the two Tsing Hua share the same name, same university motto, same university song, very similar logo, and the same nomenclature system for buildings, the list of sameness and similarities can go on and on, but the fact is that the relationship and bonding between us is extraordinarily close and strong. It is truly one of a kind among the top ranked universities around the world.

It is perhaps not by coincidence that I went to Taiwan from this island in 1949, the year President Mei was picked up by a plane sent by the Nationalist Government to Beijing at the last minute before the fall of Beijing in the civil war. With much historical apprehension on my mind, I am, however, particularly thrilled to witness the establishment of a world-class Center from the other branch of Tsing Hua on this island. As the President of the university where the National Center for Theoretical Sciences, National Science Council is located, I foresee a close cooperation and active interactions between the center and the Mathematical Forum under the directorship of Prof. Shing-Ting Yau, who was conferred with an honorary doctoral degree, along with another great mathematician as well as Tsing Hua alumnus, Dr. Chen Hsin-Sheng, by NTHU in 2000.

Finally, let me congratulate the establishment of the Forum again. Thank you!

九十九年中技社獎學金頒獎典禮致詞

大學院校的各類獎學金中，中技社獎學金是高額的獎學金，競爭非常激烈，各位同學能脫穎而出，表示大家的努力受到肯定，在此恭喜各位獲獎同學。

今天中技社潘董事長邀請我來致詞，就以個人幾個觀點和大家分享：

取之於社會用之於社會

微軟的創辦人比爾蓋茲連續蟬聯14年世界首富寶座. 他的父親出書告訴大家，他如何教出比爾蓋茲。老比爾蓋茲說比爾蓋茲自幼聰明、努力、又有創意，但最重要一點是成長於適當環境中。若比爾蓋茲生長在阿富汗或巴基斯坦等赤貧地區，那比爾蓋茲很可能就是文盲。所以，每個人的成功和社會及生活環境有密切的關係。

我和潘董一起唸新竹中學時，有次週會學校邀請台灣飛彈之父「中研院韓光渭院士」到學校演講。他在今年出版了自傳，回憶自己六十年前國共內戰期間，在海南島時以流亡學生身分入伍的生活，因不滿部隊中偷雞摸狗等種種事情而成為逃兵，之後被抓回部隊時受盡嚴刑拷打險些喪命。韓院士在那樣的時空背景下成長，仍努力堅持才有今天的貢獻。同學有今天的成就，是受到周邊環境、學校、家庭、社會、及國家的孕育，將來學有所成應思有所回饋社會。

懷抱熱情和理想

清朝中興名臣曾國藩有次在長江邊看到許多船隻來往，他問幕僚們，大家看到船隻來來往往在追求什麼?幕僚們的回答林林種種。曾國藩語重心長的說船上的人不是在追求名就是在追求利，但世上珍貴的不只名和利，應還有熱情和理想。

昨天(12月10日)我出席清華大學一場「保釣四十週年新書發表會」，感觸良多。40年前釣魚台事件對於當時的台灣青年產生一個非常大的轉變。當時台灣還在威權時代，大學生極少參與政治活動。但事件發生時，留美學生群起抗議走上街頭，當時正在美留學的潘董事長和我也參與其中。以後看到許多優秀同學因投身保釣抗議活動，無法完成博士學位而失學、失業；在世俗的眼光裏，是很令人惋惜唏噓的。但出席新書發表會的保釣致詞貴賓林孝信教授(科學月刊創辦人)告訴大家，外人看他投身保釣活動好像很失落，但他從中獲得很多。保釣活動的發展事實上對台灣的民主化與兩岸交流產生了深遠的影響。世界上有很多事情是超越自身的利害，重要的是堅持理想及懷抱熱情。

最後以美國人權鬥士馬丁路得博士的一席話與大家分享：「不是每個人都會成名，不是每個人都可致富，但是每個人都可以很偉大；每個人都可以幫助別人，幫助別人是人類最高的情操。」幫助別人可起而即行，不一定要等到功成名就；社會上有許許多多人需要別人的幫助，大家應該隨時施予援手。以上，提供各位同學做為參考，謝謝大家！

中華民國科管年會二十週年大會開幕致詞

首先本人謹代表清華大學竭誠歡迎各位貴賓蒞臨，參與中華民國科管年會二十週年大會。

今年是科技界特別值得慶祝的一年，適逢新竹科學園區30年，科技管理學會成立20週年，也是清華大學科技管理研究所、科技管理學院成立十週年，這對於以理工著名的清華大學有著特殊的意義。清華大學的校訓是「自強不息、厚德載物」，除了期許培養的學生在各自的專門領域精益求精、止於至善外，並致力培育德、智、體、群、美五育兼優，具備科學與人文素養的清華人，才為國家社會能承擔更大的責任。因為自強不息，才能引領向上、追求卓越;因為厚德載物，才能不計得失、向下紮根。凡此種種皆化為清華大學的教學理念。

清華大學在十多年前籌建科技管理學院時，基於「自強不息、厚德載物」的校訓、著眼於科技產業升級及國際化的腳步，成立全國首創以「科技管理」為指標重點的學院，全方位栽培科技管理人才。

今年適逢新竹科學園區成立三十年，經過三十年來產官學界的通力合作，新竹科學園區已經成為全球高科技製造最重要的心臟。特別值得一提的是，新竹科學園區是在清華大學徐賢修前校長於國科會主委任內成立，清華因位於新竹科學園區左近，這三十年來園區的蛻變都就近參與，亦培養了許多畢業校友投身高科技產業，為台灣產業的轉型而努力!

科管學會今年歡慶成立20年，回首來時路，可見世界情勢的急劇變化，現今已很難想像，二十年前，網際網路還在萌芽階段，具有代表性的網景 (Netscape) 甫於1994年上市，中間又歷經公元兩千年的達康 (dot.com) 泡沫化，近年來，不僅恢復元氣，而且帶動新一波的資訊革命。

對長期在世界各國中稱雄的美國而言，過去十年並不好過，有美國名政論家甚至以「災難十年」形容，除2001年，「911事件」導致美國出兵阿富汗、伊拉克外，2005年，Katrina 颶風引致水淹 New Orleans，2008 年，金融風暴自美國席捲全球，天災加人禍，適逢中國大陸在經濟上突飛猛晉，有了大國崛起的機會；另一方面，美國由於創新文化，如 iPhone、Google、Facebook等創新依舊領先世界，並不會一蹶不振，所以未來是兩雄相爭之局；反觀國內，產業成長動力在最近十年明顯減緩，原來的「兩兆雙星」明星產業甚至淪為「產業」，具有高度競爭力的新產業則尚未出現，未來面對極大挑戰，而科技創新必然更形重要，科技管理無疑將扮演關鍵角色。

今天很慶幸科管年會二十週年大會特別重回台灣科技創業家搖籃----新竹，由國立清華大學科技管理研究所、國立交通大學科技管理研究所、財團法人工業技術研究院及科學工業園區管理局共同承辦這次的年會暨論文研討會，邀請科技領域產、官、學界共同展望未來，鼓勵台灣高科技產業透過創意，追求異質優勢；以台灣科技創新價值鏈為緯，探討科技創新模式的演化。這次的大會意義非凡，也足以見證我國高科技產業的歷史發展及擘畫未來更上層樓的方向。

期許我國科技產業能持續創新、在國際上再創佳績；科技管理學界能將我國科技產業經營的真知灼見研究發表、傳諸於世。而清華大學必會秉持「自強不息、厚德載物」的理念培育人才，提供科技產業、科技管理學界源源不絕的創新動能。

最後，敬祝大會能夠圓滿成功！各位身體健康、萬事如意！謝謝大家！

印度前總統Dr. Abdul Kalam演講致詞 (英文)

Fellow Faculty Members, Students, Ladies and Gentlemen:

It is my honor and privilege to introduce our guest speaker for today, His Excellency Dr. Abdul Kalam, former President of the Republic of India.

As we all know, India is the world’s second-most populous country with over 1.2 billion people and the most populous democracy in the world. Its long and rich history can be traced back to 5000 years ago. One of the world’s major religions – Buddhism has its origin in India. Today’s India has emerged as the one of the world’s fastest growing economies.

During Dr. Kalam’s term of office from 2002 to 2007 as the President of his country, India experienced rapid economic development and fueled its rise on the world stage. You might think Dr. Kalam must be a politician, but actually he is an aeronautical engineer by training and profession. A graduate from the Madras Institute of Technology in 1957, he was the Project Director and heavily involved in the development of India’s first indigenous satellite launch vehicle (SLV-3) which successfully injected the Rohini satellite in the near earth orbit in July 1980, and made India one of the exclusive members of Space Club. Dr. Kalam also played a key role in the development of India’s strategic missile systems and its nuclear capability.

As Chairman of Technology Information, Forecasting and Assessment Council and as an eminent scientist, Dr. Kalam led the country with the help of 500 experts to arrive at Technology Vision 2020 giving a road map for transforming India from the present developing status to a developed nation. In order to achieve its objective, he took a mission to ignite the young minds for national development by meeting school students across the country. During the last decade, Dr. Kalam has addressed over five million youth below the age of 17 and inspired them to become an active participant of India Vision 2020.

As a distinguished scientist, Dr. Kalam was awarded with the “King Charles-II Medal” for Science and Technology in October 2007 and the “Woodrow Wilson Award” in 2008. The Royal Academy of Engineering, London conferred on him the “International Medal” in June 2009.

I recognize that this is a rare and extremely valuable opportunity to hear Dr. Kalam’s speech in person. Now please join me in welcoming our guest speaker His Excellency Dr. Abdul Kalam

Closing remark:

We have just listened to Dr. Kalam’s powerful and thought provoking speech on the critical role technology can play and impact on the economic development in a country. His remarks inspire and encourage us to look at economic development from a different perspective. It is truly inspiring and visionary.

On behalf of all the audience, I would like to express our heartfelt and sincere thanks to Your Excellency for sharing your vision and knowledge.

Dr. Kalam is about to leave Taiwan this afternoon. We wish him a very pleasant journey back to India. Thanks! Your Excellency!

Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen, once again I want to state that we are all most grateful to the speaker on this stage. We thank you for being with us this afternoon - it’s been a great pleasure.

Thank You Very Much!
