下廚 (歐貝拉)

對我而言，煮飯是離開螢幕、讓腦袋放空和眼睛休息的好方法、也可以半蹲切菜以活動筋骨。久坐也不好，起身煮飯時，至少是站着。當然，用料也比較健康。

整個過程也和做研究是一樣的，從開始的流程設計、火候的觀察與修正、觀察結果、再持續改善；菜色和配料也要持續變化，想辦法創新。煎魚的時候，為了避免想要一直翻面的缺點，就設定鬧鐘，避免人為疏失。

煮菜最花時間的，莫過於備菜和收尾，內人在家時，這些工作大多她包了，我只負責下鍋。最重要的是，夫人不斷地鼓勵與正向回饋，令人有成就感。

我們的歲月靜好，是因為有人負重前行

賈永婕 (台北 101 董事長)，Threads，2026/2/8 

昨天我是真的看到這一篇文，看到所有的細節，我真的很震驚不敢相信這一切是發生在 1980 年。老實說我真的一直以為林宅案是當年 228 白色恐怖時期。大家覺得不可思議我怎麼可能現在才知道林宅案，不是現在才知道，而是才知道細節還有一切都發生在自己成長的年代，那個我以為法治安定的社會。

怎麼讀經典？

葉浩，高中生怎麼讀經典？一個人文漫遊者的建議，報導者，2016/4/10 (大力推薦報導者，甚至每月固定捐款) (2016 全國高中生人文經典閱讀會考指定閱讀書目)

眾說紛紜，你可能已經暈頭轉向，但讓我們稍稍將自己從這些批判聲浪中抽離出來，我想先介紹經典的四種書寫策略：解釋 (explain)、詮釋 (interpret)、批判(critique)、提出處方 (prescribe)，熟悉這些概念之後，將來你閱讀任何「經典」會少去很多迷航的時間，面對任何言論也比較不會迷失，因為你將可以清楚地將他們定位。

我們平常人希望能從這些傳記中，學到思考、與做事情 (決策) 的方法 (151 頁)，以提升自己的能力。164 頁設定兩個組織的目標 (excellence and integrity)，使用專注 (focus) 和尋求幫忙 (ask for help when needed) 達成 100% 的卓越目標；考慮長期的名聲 （reputation)，例如誠實、努力工作、尊重別人、言出必行。張忠謀自傳中描述，德儀的基本價值是 integrity (誠信正直) ；張創辦人於 1994 年寫下10條的經營理念，最重要的第一條：台積電堅持高度職業道德，例如說真話、不誇張、不作秀、用人的首要條件是品格與才能等。

347 頁建立公司文化 (Lifetime learning, excellence, relentless innovation in action)。

Desiderata (渴望)

Max Ehrmann, Desiderata (渴望), 1927  (讀書看到這一個英文單字，上網一查意外發現這篇文章。人生真是處處充滿驚喜)

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
