Dear students, It’s great to see all of you at LWS College. While I was teaching the GE course, I realized that many of you might be curious about my background. You may be surprised to learn why I chose to pursue a career in education, especially as someone with a bachelor’s degree in creative
Dear students, Nice to chat with you here. I’m excited to share two stories with you! Be authentic in your life and work. I often share stories about how students frequently ask me how to position themselves and find a clear career path. For the first question, consider asking yourself who you are and
Dear students, Hello Students! Good to see you here. I am a registered nurse and I like singing and dancing, particularly ballet and Chinese classical dance. My research interests include stroke rehabilitation and community care, with my works focusing on examining innovative interventions to support post-stroke self-management, to improve mobility, work ability and participation among
Dear students, Kung Hay Fat Choi!! Are you thinking of adjusting to university life starting in the Year of Snake 2025? If not, try to make a ‘mission possible’, which lets you have a goal to achieve. In our Chinese culture, we all say to ‘set a plan in the spring’ at the beginning of
Dear students, 忘記背後 努力面前 向着標桿直跑 霎眼間又過了一個學期，大家滿意自己的學業成績嗎？ 姑勿論滿意與否，那已經成為你過去的一部份了！忘記過去、努力將來吧！ 老師，你這樣說真的輕鬆啊！GPA關乎我的人生呀。。。 老師 : 輕鬆與否只在乎心態，既然挽救不了過去，何不正面積極地去準備將來呢？ 過去幾個星期，正正因為考試成績而見了不少學生，有人面對成績不佳從容而對，但更多人過不了自己的心理關口，抑鬱，睡不着覺，困了在樽頸位需要見輔導員。 希望大家記住，每個人都有軟弱的時候，需要人幫助並沒有什麼可恥之處。 事實上，加入山城大學之前，我正在對面海大學精神科做一些年青人的精神健康工作，清楚知道，叫人唔好唔開心啦，放鬆啲啦，其實並無實際作用。聆聽與陪伴比較重要，尤其在忙碌的生活下，要放慢腳步去聆聽是很不容易。 所以我一般都會跟學生說，成績固然重要，但心態和身體健康才是最重要。 如果大家發現身邊朋友或宿友，需要幫忙的時候，希望大家也會伸出援「耳」，畢竟大家只能活一次，能夠相遇也是一種緣份。 𠄘我早前文章，有幾多僱主會真正在乎你的GPA呢？相反，高情緒智商，人際關係好，不怕蝕底，勇於嘗試，這樣的性格才是職場重要的軟實力。如果大家只懂課本上的知識，而不懂與人相處，處處斤斤計較，蝕底的只會是自己，所謂高分低能就是這個意思了。 下學期已經開始，下周又是新年，希望大家好好休息，放鬆心情，享受大學的生活，大學五件事其中一件是上莊，有機會的話何不嘗試一下呢？拓展一下自己的人脈，看看外面的世界，結果一定會比書本中的知識更加豐富你們的人生，共勉之。 Forget what is behind, strive for what is ahead, and run straight towards the goal In the blink of an eye, another semester has passed. Are you satisfied with your academic performance? Regardless of whether you are
Dear students, 重讀經典，滋養人生 有否嘗試過花時間去閱讀經典？在AI世代，我們接觸到的資訊往往是二手或三手的，原始資料來源變得越來越模糊，有時甚至無法考證。聖誕節期間，我在書店看到一本關於某位心理學大師生平及論說的書，約有400頁，我一口氣讀了一半，實在無法放下這本書。你可能會對閱讀經典書籍感到抗拒，擔心其內容艱深且詞彙繁複，但其實情況正好相反。根據我的經驗，閱讀柏拉圖的《蘇格拉底對話》、弗洛伊德的《夢的解析》，甚至是榮格的訪談錄，都能讓你體會到這些大師級作品的原汁原味，每一句每一段都是經典，有時比二三手的資料更加清楚。 許多心靈雞湯類書籍都取材自經典大師的節錄，雖然這些書籍可能對你此時此刻很有幫助，但從長遠來看，個人閱讀的整體性及深度更為重要。我們不要過份依賴網絡上短暫而零碎的資訊，一個人的精神養分是需要堅實的閱讀為基礎。在2025年即將來臨之際，不妨一起重讀經典，你會發現其中蘊含著巨大的樂趣甚至人生意義。如果你有一位喜歡讀書並且熱愛經典的朋友，請好好珍惜這位朋友，多些與他傾談經典，因為智慧來自閱讀。2025年，我相信你們的學習與工作會非常繁忙，也會有很多活動，不妨騰出一些空間讓自己在經典中滋潤人生。 Revisit the classics, nourish your life Have you ever tried to spend time reading classics? In the age of AI, the information we encounter is often secondhand or thirdhand, and the original sources become increasingly blurred, sometimes even unverifiable. During the Christmas season, I saw a book in a bookstore
Dear students, As Term 1 draws to a close, you must be busy preparing for exams and completing assignments. While I considered sharing study and writing tips in this message with you, I realize you’ve likely heard them many times before (e.g., avoid distractions, use mind maps, teach others, sleep and eat well). In addition,
Dear students, When I was a university student, I believed that studying hard and achieving good grades on exams were the top priorities. However, as I matured, I realized that leadership, communication skills, and vision are more crucial to success. In today’s world, where we have easy access to information, the way we learn has
Dear students, This may sound familiar to you: You have arrived at university, and you discover that it is completely different to secondary school, with so much freedom and too many distractions. It is very easy to lose focus and let time pass by without really achieving much. I would ask you to take a
