Dear students, 科學精神求什麼？ 在資訊爆炸，講求科學證據的年代，科學精神與邏輯思維對求學問非常重要。在求學的過程中，很多人都說要以科學精神去求真。而不同的人，因著對課題的熟悉程度不同，或許會有不同的解讀。 譬如說，有一個學生為課題假設在網上搜證後，認為： 一：有關論文已在頂尖學術期刊刊登，而作者是任職於世界頂尖大學的教授 二：有關的研究中，學者利用相關實驗，其結果支持論點 三：有關實驗結果已經被另一組研究人員重複驗證，而論文亦受廣泛引用 若你認為只要符合以上三個條件後，那學生已經有非常充分的證據去立論，那麼你將要失望了，因為，同一時間有另一位學生，拿出另一組研究證據，亦能符合以上三點，得出相反的結論，不同的是，這組研究採用了其他方法去驗證課題假設 面對這樣的情況，你會選擇引用其中一方的論點去支持自己的觀點，還是先重新檢視和思考自己的論証呢？ 一般人以為只要引經據典，便是客觀求真。卻不自覺原來自己只相信自己喜愛的證據，忽略了全盤論證。 世界之大，知識之廣，豈有無所不知的人？希望我們都能避過腦袋的懶惰與固執，以誠實、開明、虛心的科學精神去與人溝通，冷靜思考，才能嚴謹求証，求學如是，生活如是。 ＃真有其事 ＃唔係偽科學 ＃啲學生應該會覺得好亂 ＃亂唔緊要 ＃亂即係有錯 ＃無人知嘅嘢梗有錯 ＃會錯先要Re-search What makes a scientific mind? In an era flooded with information and demands for scientific evidence, a logical mind with critical thinking is essential. We often seek the “truth” when we are learning. Nonetheless, different persons, […]

Dear students, I would like to take the opportunity to share some of my memories about my student days during my undergraduate and postgraduate studies. For my Bachelor´s degree, I left Berlin for another city and a few friends helped me moving my belongings there. When they left, I stood on the street and felt

Dear LWS students, We know pictures on Instagram don’t accurately describe our life. Real life is tedious and even gloomy sometimes. When I was listening to a podcast one tedious morning, the podcast anchor said it was the United Nations International Day of Happiness. At first, I sarcastically thought to myself, “What a strange day!”

Dear Students, 無憂樹下的纏繞與懷抱 乍暖還寒的時候，無憂樹開花了，不知道是否刻意還是無心插柳，無憂樹剛好站在十字路口之間，每每走到無憂的時候，我就要作出決定。有時，我會站立良久，不知如何是好，每當煩躁的時候，我會抱怨無憂，把我陷入兩難之間，我眼裡只看見眼前無憂樹和我一樣被纏繞着。然後，我會深呼吸一下，抬頭仰望樹上盛放的小橙花，告訴自己，隨心走下去吧，路路皆通，何須作繭自縛。於是，我再往前走，經過荷花池，踏入小樹徑、穿個石橋，回到無憂樹，我嚇然發現，眼前的無憂樹下原本是被纏繞着，但現在卻是被懷抱着。境物沒有變，心境卻可以，纏繞還是懷抱？一念。 The Saraca Asoca’s Embrace I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but the Saraca Asoca (worry-free tree) on campus is planted at the crossroads. I enjoy pondering in front of the tree. For example, once when I was agitated, I complained to the Saraca Asoca, why had I been

Most of the lessons have been moved to online / blended mode. College activities and other social gatherings are reduced. Unlike the past, we

Dear students, I recently read a book on productivity. Unlike other books that focus on time management skills, the author attends to how our brains work and how we can take advantage of this knowledge and plan our days strategically. According to his book, Two awesome hours: Science-based strategies to harness your best time and

Dear students, Alice claims to Bob that the coffee at the (now unfortunately closed) Tolo Cafe at her Lee Woo Sing College is much better than the one at the 330 cafe across campus. Bob doesn’t believe that Alice knows a thing about coffee. To test her skill, Bob buys a coffee drink from one

在元宵佳節，祝願各位與至親愛侶過得幸福甜蜜！ 各位和聲同學， 提到幸福，我想起之前在居酒屋看到一支名『一生幸福』的大吟釀。少年人，請不要輕看這四個字！還記得第一次聽到這四個字，是我結婚當日，長輩給我和太太的祝福，那時候，我覺得只要能同諧白首就已經好了。到了現在，才真正感受到『一生幸福』這句話的重量，因為，這是在經營兩個人，甚至是下一代的幸福，而這門事業，是帶有「終身保養」的承諾。只有用匠心般的努力和時刻更新，才能體貼至親愛侶隨著歲月和環境而改變的需要。當然要做到並不容易，但努力過程中已能品嘗到如酒般的甘香醇。你們準備好令至親享受一生幸福未？ Dear students,  Today is the Lantern Festival. I wish you and your beloved a wonderful festival full of happiness and blessings. Talking about blessings, I recalled a bottle of Junmai Daijinjo, “A Lifelong Blessing” when I was visiting an izakaya. Don’t underrate these words, boys and girls! I first got these words

Dear students, Before sharing the teacher’s message of this week, here comes the Chinese New Year greeting from our Dean of Students, Prof Ellis Fok, click here  (clubhouse mode on 😂). 大家好，我是Edwin，好高興在上一年加入和聲大家庭。 我來自金融學系，平常有不少同學問關於投資的事，最近最多同學想知就是有關Gamestop的分析。但Gamestop事件比較復雜，牽涉到價值投資，沽空機構，挾淡倉，甚至意識型態上的爭議。很難在這裡一一解釋，那不如我答另一個同學有興趣的問題—現在最得投資的是什麼呢？ 虛擬貨幣,電動汽車股,還是新股？這些都可能是好投資。但我認為對同學們來說,最值得的投資就是你自己。人生奮鬥可以改變自己未來的時間有限，大學這幾年，絕對是最關鍵。把資源和時間放多點在學習新知識，擴闊視野，建立人脈，和嘗試踏出舒適區。把自己裝備好，到機會來臨時好好把握，對人一生的回報絕對要比股票投資高很多。 和大家分享自己一個經歷，很多年前剛畢業在找工作時，突然收到一個大學時期的同學電話（那時還沒WhatsApp，可想而知有多久前）。心想，以前好像和他沒有兩句，難道他要派請帖還是問我對投資計劃有沒有興趣。幸好，在我開口前，他跟著就說，在朋友口中聽到我在找工作，所以就打算問我有沒有興趣到他的公司工作。我當時很開心，但也有點錯愕，問他，你為什麼找我呢？他說雖然我們在大學時沒有說過話,，我們很多科目也有一起上，那個像妙麗一樣不斷舉手答教授問題的我，他早就認識。 人生就像投資，將來的果，就來自今天起一點一滴的努力。當然享受大學生活也是很重要，相信大家好快學會如何work hard play hard，就讓自己在這幾年變成像Tesla一樣的增長股！ Hello everyone, my name is Edwin and I am happy to join the Woo Sing family
