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。

Nonlinear Optimization (非線性最佳化)
- Course objective: Nonlinear optimization is widely used in engineering, business, data science, and machine learning. We will introduce fundamental algorithms through examples in this course, enabling students to read research articles, formulate their own problems, and solve them efficiently using the appropriate algorithms.

What It Takes
Stephen A. Schwarzman, What It Takes: Lessons in the Pursuit of Excellence, Simon & Schuster, 2019.
蘇世民、趙燦譯,蘇世民:我的經驗與教訓,香港中和出版,2020
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.
