能力比知識重要(二)

  在我們談創新過程之前，需要先釐清一些概念。首先我們要問的是，我們真的要改變創新嗎？我是不是真的想要改善我的個性？或我不喜歡的性格或行為。這不是一個無關緊要的問題，也不是象徵性地問自己一下，因為表面上我們可能會說當然，但潛意識裡卻有東西在阻撓我們，想不想改善，想不想改變創新？

第二個問題能不能改變？然後在他們問了這些問題之後，他們去評估正向人格，言行一致對你來說是否重要？值得信賴是不是重要？以及被認為嚴肅認真，對於你來說有多重要？責任感是非常重要的品質，但是他卻阻撓我擺脫擔憂和焦慮。

幸福。通往幸福最大的障礙，就是人們把幸福和偷懶連在一起，因為當今文化中最為人所追捧的，所信奉的真理，就是「沒有痛苦，就沒有收穫」。如果我現在很快樂，就意味著我不再經歷痛苦。就意味著我放棄了，意味著我不會成功，意味著我已失去了稜角，意味著我不再有動力和雄心。所以我們在潛意識裡只選擇不快樂，這樣我們就不會失去其他珍貴的東西，比如雄心壯志，比如長處優勢，比如勤奮認真。學會冒險，從失敗中學習經驗，將失敗看作是未來成功路上的墊腳石。這些不意味著我們會相應的失去動力和雄心抱負。

  克服失敗的恐懼或擔憂焦慮，或罪惡感或種種不幸的關鍵，通常，也不一定是，而是關於理解，或是更好的方法去理解品格的含意。為什麼想要改變別無他法？我可以一天到晚想破頭，我要更勇敢我要釋放出來，我可以想一整天，甚麼也不會發生的，除非我們真正的實質改變，真正的做到，當我們做到這一點，天高任鳥飛。

Ability is more important than knowledge

Before we go to the creative process, there are few things we need to understand. The first thing to understand is this. Do I, do you really want to creative? Do I really want to improve certain things in my personality things that or character or behavior, things that I don’t like. And it’s not a trivial question. It is not a rhetorical question because very often on the conscious level we maybe saying yes, but on the subconscious level something is stopping us. Did you want to improve it? Did you wanna to creative and change this?

The second question were you successful? And then after they answered these questions , they evaluate the positive characteristics. Consistency, is it important to you? Is it important to you to be trustworthy? And how important is for you to be and to be perceived as a serious person? Very important trait, responsibility. But that prevented me from letting go.

Happiness. One of the most significant barrier to people’s happiness is that they associate happiness with slacking off, because the dominant paradigm, the dominant mantra in our culture today is “no pain, No gain.” If I’m happy now, I ignore experiencing pain. It means I’m letting go. It means I’m not gonna be successful. It means I’m gonna my edge. It means I’m gonna lose my drive and ambition. So our subconscious prefers to keep, keep us unhappy. So that we don’t lose the other things that we value highly, things such as ambition, things such as having an edge, things such as our hard work. Learning from failures looking at it as a stepping stone that contributes to our success in the long term. It doesn’t need to take away from our drive and ambition on the contrary.

And the key if we wanna overcome this fear of failure or the worry /anxiety, or the guilt, or the slack of happiness, it’s very often, not always, very often about understanding, or getting a better understanding of these characteristics. And why? There is no other way to change. I can think about it all day long, I want to become courageous, I want to get out. I can think about it all day long. Nothing will happen unless we bring about real actual behavioral change, real actual behavioral action. And when we do that, then the sky is the limit.

能力比知識更重要

  愛因斯坦說：「想像力比知識更重要」，因為知識是有限的，而想像力擁抱整個世界 。我說：「能力比知識更重要」，因為知識是靜態的，而能力掌握整個世界。大家都知道所謂的靈感來自99%的汗水，真知灼見不是憑空產生的，而是經過長時間準備受千錘百鍊而得來的。所以說沒有靈丹妙藥，而且正是那種對靈丹妙藥的渴求，導致今天意志消沉如此容易發生，因為大家都很悶，很失望。沒有靈丹妙藥，任何事都需要時間。

  此刻談論不同的創造，第一種方式是漸進式的，好像滴水穿石，一點一滴，慢慢的，是很花時間的。第二種方式是突發式的，好像大槌開山劈石，鑿出一條路，一個隧道。對於這兩種創新，或是所有形式的創新，必須要注意的是，重點是要將創新持續下去。不是突然一變之後又恢復原狀，因此要注意的是，創新不是藥到病除的靈丹妙藥。即便當我們舉起大槌，就是這舉起的動作，也必須在之前做很多準備功夫。舉例來說漸進式的創新，慢慢地成為能夠尋找美好的人，逐漸看到更多積極的事物，逐漸建構新的神經通路。

Ability is more important than Knowledge

   Einstein said “Imagination is more important than knowledge”, for knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the whole world. I said “ability is more important than knowledge”, for knowledge is static, whereas ability handles the whole world. You know the 99% of perspiration that leads to that inspiration, the great insight that doesn’t come in a vacuum, it comes after a lot of hard work after a lot of preparation. So no quick-fix. And the believe in quick-fix, the expectation of the quick-fix that is one of the reasons why levels of the depression are so high today, because people are frustrated. They are disappointed. No quick-fix. It takes time.

   This time we are talking about the different kinds of creative. The first approach- the gradual approach, like water wearing down stone, chipping away gradually slowly taking our time. The second approach – the acute creative, the sledge hammer breaking stone creating a new pathway, a new channel. The important thing to keep in mind with both forms of creative, with all form of creative, lasting creative that is, which is what we are about. Not just the spike and the return to base level. The thing to keeping mind about creative is that neither is quick-fix. Even when we pick up the sledge hammer, even when we pick it up, we need to do a lot of work before the preparation, so for example, gradual creative, slowly becoming more and more of a benefit finder, gradually looking more at the positive, creating a new neural pathway neuron by neuron.

團結是力量

 

今天的成功是明天成功的敵人！

Today‘s success is the enemy of tomorrow‘s success!

  你有沒有想過，為什麼超級成功的公司，如諾基亞和柯達突然失去自己的優勢？不然怎麼可能像科幻準將電腦，根德，中道，新聞周刊和寶麗RMS可能會失敗？

難道他們沒有雄厚的研發資源，優秀員工和專業知識？是的，但是他們還有另外一個共同點：他們都錯過了那一刻時，他們應該已經離開了他們的成功之路，以重新思考自己的商業模式。他們錯過了基本的創新，因為他們太忙管理日常業務，服務現有客戶 - 而不是展望未來的機會。換句話說，今天的成功是明天成功的敵人！

  創新週期轉動速度比以往任何行業都快，創新才能提高產品服務的價值或降低成本，因此創造了競爭優勢。例如，蘋果，其創新性的新產品，創建一個顧客的高度覺知的價值。戴爾通過建立按訂單流程降低成本及營運資金。

  但是，即使它的重要性是無可爭議的，但對創新有許多誤解。三個流傳的神話：

第一，創新的思想是無中生有。

第二，大的成功，需要很大的資源。

第三，創新突破需要迷人的技術。

幸運的是，他們都錯了！

  由於不正確的管理行為與組織抗力，改革措施70％以上注定失敗！因此，請記住以下幾條規則：

首先，同一時間只實施一個模式。

其次，明確傳達變革的必要性。

第三，創新需要時間，不要過分強調短期關鍵績效指標。

第四，獲得最高管理層的承諾。如果沒有他們的支持，創新，是注定要失敗的！

  然而，創新並不一定是對新技術，過多的研究和開發，或有關創建全新的思路。在大多數情況下，創新是學習別人，重塑自己模式，不只是技術。這可以在一個結構化的過程中開始，形成觀念，整合來實現：你分析你的商業模式，應用創新模式，檢查是否有矛盾的地方，並謹慎實施- 牢記成功的因素和陷阱。

你準備好，然後徹底改變自己的想法吧？

站在巨人的肩膀上嘗試創造性學習！

大處著眼，並認為不同。別人做到了，自己為什麼不能？

  Have you ever wondered why hyper successful companies like Nokia or Kodak suddenly lose their edge? Or how could firms like Commodore Computers, Grundig, Nakamichi, Newsweek or Polaroid possibly fail? Did they not have abundant R&D (Research & Develop) resources, top employees and profound knowledge of their markets? Yes, but they had another thing in common: They all missed the moment when they should have left their successful path to rethink their business model. They missed out on radical innovation because they were too busy managing daily business and serving current clients – instead of envisioning future opportunities. In other words: Today‘s success is the enemy of tomorrow‘s success!

  The innovation cycle spins faster than ever in nearly all industries.

Innovation either increases the customer value of a product or service or it lowers their costs and therefore creates a competitive advantage. Apple, for instance, creates a high perceived customer value with its innovative new products. And Dell reduces its costs and working capital through build-to-order-processes.

  But even though its importance is undisputed, there are many misconceptions about innovation. Three myths are particularly pervasive:

First, innovation stems from ideas nobody has had before.

Second, big success requires big resources.

And third, innovation breakthroughs are always based on fascinating technologies.

Luckily, they are all wrong!

  Thanks to incorrect management behavior and organizational resistance more than 70% of all change initiatives fail! Therefore, keep a few rules in mind:

First, only implement one business model at the time.

Second, clearly communicate the new business model and the need for change.

Third, don’t overemphasize short term KPIs. Innovation needs time.

Fourth, get top management commitment. Without their sponsorship’s business model innovation is doomed to fail!

  Yet, innovation is not necessarily about new technologies, excessive research and development, or about creating completely new ideas. Most of the time, innovation is about learning from others and reinventing your model – not just your technology. This can be done in a structured process of initiation, ideation, integration, and implementation: You analyze your business model, apply innovation patterns, check for inconsistencies and start implementing carefully – keeping in mind success factors and pitfalls.

Are you ready then to revolutionize your own idea?

Try to creatively learn from the giants whose shoulders you are standing on!

Think big and think different. People did it – so why can‘t you?

傳播知識的嘴是最重要的珍寶
Lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel

 

熱望-2

我不知道你有沒有氣喘的經驗，如果你們有氣喘發作的經驗，你會喘不過氣，就是會差一口氣，你會喘息。唯一想做的就是呼吸，你不會關心有沒有籃球可以打，你不會關心電視上播甚麼，你不會在意有沒有人打電話給你，你不會在意有沒有聚會可去，你關心的是如何呼吸到新鮮的空氣，就是那樣。

當你了解，當你能做到你對成功的渴望有如對呼吸一樣的渴望，那你就會有所成就。最重要的是自己想成功，但都不是渴望，只是想想而已。比起成功，你們更想參加宴會，你沒有像自己希望很「酷」的一樣希望成功，你們沒有如想睡覺一樣的希望成功，有些人喜歡睡覺勝於渴望成功，今天我要告訴你們，如果你想要成功，你必須願意犧牲睡眠，你必須睡眠時間只有3到2小時而能甘之如飴，如果你真的想要成功。你必須連續三天不眠不休，因為如果你就這樣睡著了，你可能錯過成功的契機。那就是你真想要的成功表現，你必須過著沒有…你渴望成功到忘記吃飯，碧昂絲說過當她準備表演，那是她熱愛的工作，可以三天過了才忘記沒有吃飯，因為她全心投入。

當我不工作時我讀書，一個朋友問：你甚麼時候睡覺？我睡得很少。所以才有實現夢想的機會。別哭著放棄，當你飽受折磨痛苦不堪，想辦法在苦難中收穫，在你成功之前不要貪睡。如果你能說：不用你幫忙，因為我已經擁有我需要的一切，那你就是真正的成功了。

Desire-2

I don’t know how many of you asthma here today. But if you ever had an asthma attack before, you short of breath, shortness of breath, you’ll wheeze. The only thing you are trying to do is get some air. You don’t care about no basketball game. You don’t care what’s on T.V.? You don’t care about nobody called you. You don’t care about the party. The only thing you care about when you’re trying to breathe is to get some fresh air. That it!

When you get to the point, when all you wanna(want to ) do is be successful as bad as you wanna breathe, then you will be successful. And I’m here to tell you number one that most of you say you wanna be successful, but you don’t want it bad, you just kinda (kind of) want it. You don’t want it bad than you wanna party. You don’t want it as much as you want to be cool. Most of you don’t want success as much as you want sleep. Some of you love sleep more than you love success. And I’m here to tell you today, if you’re going to be successful, you gotta be willing to give up sleep, you gotta be willing to work with 3 hours of sleep, 2 hours if you really wanna be successful. Some day you’re gonna have to stay up 3 days in a row. Because if you go to sleep, you might miss the opportunity to be successful. That’s how bad you gotta want it. You gotta go days without... you gotta wanna be successful so bad that you forget to eat. Beyonce said once she was on the set doing her thing 3days had gone by, she forgot she didn’t eat, because she was engaged.

When I wasn’t doing a work, I was doing the reading. And friend said” when do you sleep? “I more less sleep”. So I got the opportunity to make the dream become a really.” Don’t cry to quit! You’re already in pain. You’re already hurt. Get a reward from it. Don’t go to sleep until you succeed. You won’t be successful until you say, “ I don’t need that money, because I got it in here.”

 

PS: 全心全意追求一個目標的時候，整個宇宙都會聯合起來幫助你

Have a whole mind to dream a goal, the whole universe will help you.

How to crazy

  曾經有個年輕人，他想要賺大錢，於是她去找了一個大師，年輕人告訴大師說：我希望和你一樣有成就。大師說如果你想像我有一樣的成就，明天來海灘上見我。

  年輕人早上五點到了，他西裝筆挺的準備大展長才，他應該穿件短褲就好。老人抓著年輕人的手說：你多希望成功？他說：非常渴望。大師說：走到水裡。於是年輕人走向水裡，他走向水裡，水淹及腰，他心想，這老人根本瘋了。

  我一直夢想能賺大錢，他卻要我來這游泳，我不是想要當救生員，我是想賺錢，他卻要我來這，大師說：再出去一點，他向前一些，水快到肩膀附近。心想這男人真瘋了，他賺錢有方，但他真瘋了。

  大師又說，再往前一點，他再往前一些，水淹及嘴巴附近，他喊著，天啊，我要回去海灘上了，這老人瘋了。老人說：我以為你真想成功？他說，是啊！老人又說，那就再往前走。老人走上前來，老人抓著年輕人的頭往水裡栽，不讓他抬頭，讓他栽在水裡，天啊，他一直掙扎，壓著他，把他壓的好深。在他差一口氣就翹掉時，老人抓起他。

  老人說問問你自己，他告訴年輕人說，如果你對成功的渴望有如呼吸一般，那你就會有所成就。

Desire

  There was a young man, who you know he want to make a lot of money, so he went to his guru right? He told the guru ”I want to be the same level as you are”, and the guru said” if you want to be the same level as I am on”. I’ll meet you tomorrow at the beach.

  So the young man got there 5a.m. He all ready to rock and roll. Got on a suits. He should’ve wore shorts. The old man grabs his hand and said, “ How bad you wanna be successful?” He said “ Real bad”. He said “ Walk out to the water.” So he walks out into the water. When he walks out into the water, he goes waist deep. So he like, ”this guy’s crazy.”

  I dreamed like I wanna make money. He got me out here swimming. I didn’t ask to be a life guard. I wanna make money. He got me in..So he said ,” come out a little further. Walked out a little further. Then he had it right around this area, the shoulder area. Thought this old man crazy. He’s making money but He’s crazy.

  Said.“ Come out a little further.”Came out the little further. It was right at his mouth. My man, like I’m about to go back in. This guy is out of his mind. So the old man said,” I thought you said you wanted to be successful.” He said,” I do!” He said, walk a little further. He came. Dropped his head in. Held him down. Hold him down. My man! (keep scratching) Hold him down. He hold him hell down. Just before my man was about to pass out, he raised him up.

He said, “I got a question for you”. He told the guy. He said. When you want to succeed as bad as you wanna breathe, then you will be successful.

邁向成功的動力取決於你自己

Find Your Greatness

  一個人不成功是因為沒有目標，沒有夢想，沒有自信，沒有教練，不知道自己的潛能有多大。為自己的夢想設定時間吧！做好計畫，讓夢想不只是夢想，而是真正的生活目標。A goal is a dream with a deadline.

  快起來吧，揮灑汗水，早上六點，在你舉起手按掉鬧鐘之前，一個聲音在你腦海迴盪，現在太早，天色還暗，離開被窩也太冷了，全身痠痛的肌肉反抗頭腦的命令，假裝沒聽到移動的呼喊，全身都在告訴你，在打個盹，回到舒服的夢鄉。但你無視於他們的建議，你選擇的是聽從其中微弱不同的聲音，這聲音說，你把鬧鐘設定在這裡是有原因的，所以坐起來，雙腳朝地，絕不回頭，因為我們還有工作要做。歡迎回到苦行的修練，每一天，都在苦行修練和放鬆享受中拔河，每天都像坐在三角洲前，有上萬條的路讓你選擇，每一條感覺起來都很輕鬆，但其實你在上游，看不到未來，你要做出甚麼樣的選擇？是要回到自己的舒適圈？尋找最安全的路，還是根據常識選擇？

  所以首先要確定自己想要的是甚麼？因為輕鬆的路橫亙在前，想要把你騙走，你只要動腳就可以決定，但是你不會選擇輕鬆的路走吧？踏出每一步的同時要決定下一步怎麼走？持續往前走，你知道這就代表著你，你的恐懼、迷惘、不安全感一字排開，就像烏雲罩頂般壓得喘不過氣來，千萬不要迷失內心，不輕易被打敗，這就是苦行的修練，你腦中的聲音和疲累的身軀在角力，你有很強的對手，練習有用嗎？聆聽自己內在的聲音，掩蓋這些外在的雜音，利用內心熊熊火把，燒掉這些雜音，記住自己奮鬥的目標。

  魔鬼藏在細節裡，你準備好了嗎？Are you sure? The answer is yes! 你已經完成克服內心的挑戰，準備勇敢的面對問題，踏進成功的領土，Victory 是唯一可以讓你離開困惑的場域，所以請相信你內心的聲音，「你可以跑得更快」 You can running quickly! 你可以再用力一點，相信運氣的人，勝利終將不翼而飛，揮灑汗水是追求勝利的一種選擇，決定吧，命運是不等人的！當屬於你的時刻到來，會有上千種不同的聲音告訴你，你還沒準備好；只有一個孤獨的聲音會親切的告訴你，你準備好了。你有沒有準備好完全取決於你現在的決定，起來吧，揮灑汗水！

教育的反思

Rethink our view of Education

當你在世界各地旅行，你會驚訝地發現：這世界各地的教育系統都有同樣的科目和階級制度，不管你去哪裡都是這樣。你以為會有所不同，但真的沒有差別。最高階的學科是數學和語文，接著是人文社會科目，而藝術則是墊底的科目。到處都是一樣。而且每個教育體系中的藝術課程，也都有同樣的階級制，美術和音樂課程在學校永遠比戲劇和舞蹈課程重要，地球上沒有一個教育系統，每天教小孩子跳舞，就像教數學一樣，為什麼？為什麼不呢？我覺得這很重要。我認為數學非常重要，但舞蹈也是。如果被允許，孩子們無時無刻不在跳舞，我們都是這樣。我們都有肢體，不是嗎？我錯過了甚麼嗎？

這一切的背後真相是，當小孩開始成長，我們的教育重心大量移至腰部以上，然後著重在頭部，並且沒有左右均衡。如果你觀察這個教育制度，當個局外人，然後問：公立教育目的是甚麼？我想你的結論會是- 如果你以結果論，誰能在這種制度下成功？誰是乖乖牌，從不犯錯？誰累積了最多獎，誰是贏家？我想你會得到這樣的結論，全球公立教育的目的只是製造大學教授，難道不是嗎？他們是那群高分畢業的人。但你知道，我們不應將他們視為人類成功的最高指標，那只是一種生活方式，就只是一種不同的生活方式。

你仔細思考就會發現，全世界公立教育系統都只是為進入大學之門鋪路，而結果造成許多有天分，有創意的，聰明學生自我否定，因為他們的專長在學校，不被重視，還可能被罰。我認為我們不能再這樣繼續下去，因為當我還是學生的時候，有一張大學文憑，就有工作。你要是沒工作，那是因為你自己不想要。但是現在有大學文憑的小孩只能繼續回家打電動，因為以前大學畢業可以做的工作，現在得要碩士才行，而該碩士的工作，現在得要博士才搶得到。這是一個文憑膨脹的過程，這顯示整的教育結構正在我們腳下改變，我們必須徹底重新思考我們對智力的看法。

 

When you travel around the world, you discover: every education system on earth has the same hierarchy of subjects. Every one. Doesn’t matter where you go. You’d think it would be otherwise, but it isn’t. At the top are mathematics and languages, then humanities, and the bottom are the arts. Everywhere on Earth. And in pretty much every system too, there’s a hierarchy within the arts. Art and music are normally given a higher status in schools than drama and dance. There isn’t an education system on the planet that teaches dance every day to children the way we teach them mathematics. Why? Why not? I think this is rather important. I think math is very important, but so is dance. Children dance all the time is they’re allowed to , we all do. We all have bodies, don’t we? Did I miss a meeting?

Truthfully, what happens is, as children grow up, we start to educate them progressively from the waist up. And then we focus on their heads. And slightly to one side. If you were to visit education, as an alien, and say” What’s it for, public education?” I think you’d have to conclude- if you look at the output, who really succeeds by this, who does everything that they should, who gets all the brownie points, who are the winners, I think you’d have to conclude the whole purpose of public education throughout the world is to produce university professors. Isn’t it? They’re the people who come out the top. But you know, we shouldn’t hold them up as the high-water mark of all human achievement. They’re just a form of life, another form of life.

If you think of it, the whole system of public education around the world is a protracted process of university entrance. And the consequence is that many highly talented, brilliant, creative people think they’re not, because the thing they were good at school wasn’t valued, or was actually stigmatized. And I think we can’t afford to go on that way. Because when I was a student, if you had a degree, you had a job. If you didn’t have a job it’s because you didn’t want one. But now kids with degrees are often heading home to carry on playing video games, because you need an MA where the previous job required a BA and now you need a PhD for the other. It’s a process of academic inflation. And in indicates the whole structure of education is shifting beneath our feet. We need to radically rethink our view of intelligence.

所有的孩子都是天生的藝術家

Children are born artists

  孩子們解決了各式各樣的生活問題，再次證明只要大人認同孩子的努力，相信孩子做得到，他們就會表現出來。我們怎能無視於孩子的熱情、活力和雀躍的樣子呢？我要以最能象徵改變力量的人-甘地來做說明。七十年前，甘地一個人，感染了全國上下，靠的是「我們做得到」這股信念的力量。所以今天誰要來做這件事，將感染的種子散播到全國的孩子？所以，我們不做，還有誰來做？現在不做，更待何時？我說，感染是一個很棒的詞。

所以我想談談教育與創意，我的論點是，在我們的教育裡，創意與識字能力同等重要，我們應該給予兩者同等的地位。我最近聽到一個很棒的故事，我喜歡轉述他，有一個六歲的女孩在上繪畫課，她坐在教室後方畫畫，老師說這小孩平常非常難專注在一件事物上，但是她今天很專心。老師非常的好奇，於是老師走向小女孩，問到：你在畫甚麼？孩子說我在畫上帝的畫像。老師又說，但是沒有人知道上帝長得像甚麼樣子。小女孩接著說，那他們很快就會知道。這故事說明了孩子的想像力，有不知道的事就用猜的，他們不怕犯錯。

當然，我不是說犯錯等於有創意，但我們知道，如果你沒有犯錯的心理準備，就永遠無法發揮獨創性。如果你都不準備犯錯，當他們長大成人時，絕大的孩子已失去冒險的能力了，他們會變得害怕犯錯。順道一提的，我們就是這樣經營學校的，我們懲罰錯誤，我們現在也以同樣方式在經營國家教育制度，告訴孩子犯錯是最糟糕的事，而結果是我們教出一堆沒有創意的人。畢卡索曾經說，所有的孩子都是天生的藝術家。問題是如何維持藝術家性格到成年，我堅信，我們不會越老越有創意，我們的成長背離創意，或者說，教育抹殺了我們的創意。為什麼呢？

 

Power with We Can

Children were designing for a diverse range of problems. Basically again reaffirming that when adults believe in children and say, ”you can”, then they will. How can we stay immune to that passion, that energy, that excitement? I have to explain with the most powerful symbol of change, Gandhiji.70 years ago, it took one man to infect an entire nation with the power of “we can.” So, today who is it going to take to spread the infection from children to the all children in the country? So, if not us, then who? If not now, then when? I said “contagious” is a good word.

  So I want to talk about education and I want to talk about creativity. My contention is that creativity now is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it  with the same status. I heard a great story recently, I love telling it-of a little girl who in a drawing lesson. She was six and she was at the back, drawing, and the teacher said this little girl hardly ever paid attention, and in this drawing lesson she did. The teacher was fascinated and she went over to her and she said,” what are you drawing”? And the girl said, “ I’m drawing a picture of God”. And the teacher said, ”But nobody knows what God looks like.” And the girl said, “They will in a minute.” This story is tell me that kids will take an image. If they don’t know, they’ll have a go. They’re not frightened of being wrong.

Children are born artists

Now, I don’t mean to say that being wrong is the same thing as being creative. What we do know is, if you’re not prepared to be wrong, you’ll never come up with anything original. If you’re not prepared to be wrong. And by the time they get to be adults most kids have lost that capacity. They have become frightened of being wrong. And we run our school like this, by the way. We stigmatize mistakes. And we’re now running national education systems where mistakes are the worst thing you can make. And the results that we are educating people out of their creative capacities. Picasso once said this. He said that all children are born artists. The problem is to remain an artist as we grow up. I believe this passionately that we don’t grow into creativity. We grow out of it. Or rather, we get educated out if it. So why is this?

教育與創意

Education and Creativity

我今天要談的與貫穿這次研討會的三個相關主題。

首先這些演說與這裡每一個人所涵蓋領域的廣度與歧異度，是展現人類創意的傑出典範。

第二，這樣的創意讓人了解到，我們根本不能預知未來，我們不知道未來是何種面貌。我對教育議題有濃厚的興趣。事實上，在場的每個人都對教育有興趣，不是嗎？我覺得很有趣的是，如果你問大家受過甚麼教育？每個人都滔滔不絕說個沒完，因為這是影響人們極深的主題之一，對吧？就像宗教、金錢和其他事情一樣。我個人對教育極感興趣，我想我們都是，大家都對教育興趣濃厚，部分原因是：教育可以幫助我們掌握難以理解的未來。

試想，今年開始上學的小孩，將在2080年退休，沒人會知道，儘管我們在過去的日子探討各種專業知識，二十年後世界會變怎樣，但我們本來應該是要教育這些孩子為將來做準備，我認為未來的不可預知性是極為特殊的。

第三部分是我們都仍同意，孩童擁有驚人的潛力，他們創新的潛力，學生的表現令人驚豔，不是嗎？我們目睹了學生能做到的事。孩子是優秀的，但我認為在所有的孩子裡，並非只有復興的孩子做得到。我們看到的是已經發揮才能的部分，非常專注於發揮天賦才能，我認為，所有孩子都天賦異稟，或許都被我們殘酷的浪費了。

There have been three themes, haven’t there, running through the conference, which are relevant to what I want to talk about.

The first is the extraordinary evidence of human creativity in all the presentations that we’ve had and in all the people here. Just the variety of it and the range of it.

The second is that it’s put us in a place where we have no idea what’s going to happen, in terms of the future. No idea how this may play out. I have an interest in education actually, what I find is everybody has an interest in education. Don’t you ? I find this very interesting. If you ask about their education, they pin you to the wall. Because it’s one of those things that goes deep with people, am I right? Like religion, and money and other things. I have a big interest in education, and I think we all do. We have a huge vested interest in it, partly because it’s education that’s meant to take us into this future that we can’t grasp.

If you think of it , children starting school this year, will be retiring in 2080. Nobody has a clue despite all the expertise that’s been on parade for the past days, what the world will look like in twenty years’ time. And yet we’re meant to be educating them for it. So the unpredictability, I think, is extraordinary.

And the third part of this is that we’ve all agreed, nonetheless on the really extraordinary capacities that children have their capacities for innovation, I mean, student was a marvel, wasn’t they? Just seeing what they could do. And student’s exceptional, but I think they’re not, so to speak, exceptional in the whole of childhood. What we have there are person of extraordinary dedication who found a talent. And my contention is, all students have tremendous talents. Perhaps we squander them, pretty ruthlessly.

 

感染是一種能量(二)

Contagious as a Power

學生改變了

  攀登雪山對學生影響很深，看到孩子的轉變過程，以及他們深信他們能走出去挑戰自己，改變世界。

   我們看學生的表情，臉上露出笑容，因為他們知道自己成功改變大人對學生的看法。這不會在課堂上發生，從學生開心的樣子，就知道他們不只是聽「老師說」，而是「自己去做」，抱持「我做得到」的心態。

  這整個過程可以透過後天的激發和學習，但是剛開始也有家長會不放心地說，「培養孩子正確的價值觀是很好的」，但是不會耽誤數學、自然和英語這些正課嗎？「拿出好成績才算數」。我們做到了，我們給家長看了成績，數字證明，只要給予孩子發揮的空間，他們不但能做好事，還能有好成績，應該說很棒的成績，我們的學生超越台灣十大明星學校，數學、英文、自然科學都如此。可見教學成效很好，要擴大實施，我們學生也感染其他學校。

感染

這行動不只是復興高中本身，而是為所有學生，所以我們分享。「大家別再看輕年輕人，要體認每個孩子都有無窮潛力，甚麼時候才聽到他們聲音？對學生要敞開心胸互相交流」。我們得到甚麼回應呢？

你們可以

  「你們可以」，我們肯定孩子的努力，「如果學校為孩子付出，未來，孩子也會回饋社會」。因此，這是感染的時刻，我們用相同的方式，讓孩子表達出「我做得到」的心聲。

 

Student Being the Change

  Student clime the Snow Mountain transformed them. What you will see is their journey, and then their utter conviction that they could go out challenge myself and change the world.

  And look at student that moment when their face change, because they are been able to understand that they have shifted that people’s mindset. And that can’t happen in a classroom, So, when student experienced that they went from “teacher told me” to” I am doing it”. And that’s the “I can” mind shift.

  And it is a process that can be energized and nurtured. But we had parent who said, okay, making our children good human beings is all very well, but what about math and science and English? “Show us the grades”. And we did . The data was conclusive. When student are empowered, not only do they do good, they do well, in fact very well, Fuhsing student were outperforming the top 10school in Taiwan in math, English and science. So, it worked. It was now time to take it outside Fuhsing. Our student set out to infect other school.

Infecting

Now it was not about Fuhsing school, it was about all student. So, we were share. ”When are you going to wake up and recognize the potential that resides in every student. When will you include the student the city? Basically, open your hearts and your minds to the student.” So, how did the people respond?

You Can

Here was our school telling student, “ You Can”. When a school gives to the student in the future the student will give back to the word. And because of that, it was time now to infect the world, empowered with the some process, we empowered our students to say “I can”.

感染是一種能量

Contagious as a Power

感染和探索是兩個好的詞句，即使在災害頻仍中，我仍然喜歡這二字。

感染

笑聲是感染，熱情是感染，獲得靈感也是一種感染。我們常聆聽優秀人士的演講精彩的故事，對於我而言，我認為這些人之所以有感染力，因為他們都有「我做得到」這種感染力。

我做得到

有一個問題，為什麼只有他們有感染力？世界上有六十多億人口，台灣也有二千三百萬人。為什麼這麼少？是這些人特別幸運？機會特別多？難道我們不能自願被感染嗎？

我在去年到復興，我持續探索課程，不斷改善課程設計，希望孩子能建立「我做得到」的自信心。我發現，如果把探索學習融入生活中，打破學校和生活中的界線，孩子在生活中會產生自覺，看到事物需要改變的地方，然後有能力改變自己，進而施展所長，帶領大家促成改變，如此可以真正提升學生成就感，孩子能力因而變強，不會徬徨無助。

這些想必各位都明白，我想讓各位看一下，平常復興的孩子上甚麼課程，一群五年級的孩子在上甚麼課，十一年級的孩子爬雪山。

 

Contagious and explore are good words. Even in the times of disasters, I like the two words.

Contagious

 Laughter is contagious, passion is contagious. Inspiration is contagious. We’ve heard some remarkable stories from some remarkable speakers. But for me, what was contagious about all of them was they were influence by something I call the“ I can” bug.

I can

  So, the question is, why only them? In the world of six billion people and some. In Taiwan of 23 million people and some. Why so few? Is it luck? Is it chance? Can we all not systematically and consciously get infected?

  When I started Taipei Fuhsing Private School last year, I continue explore curriculum, a lab to prototype and refine a design process that could consciously infect the mind with the “I can “ bug. And I uncovered, that if explore learning is embedded in real- world context, that if you blur the boundaries between school and life, then children go through a journey of aware, where they can see the change, enable, be changed, and then empower, lead the change. And that directly increased student wellbeing. Children became more competent and less helpless.

  But this was all common sense. So, I’d like to show you a little glimpse of what common practice looks like Taipei Fuhsing Private School . A little background: When my grade (five) was learning about child rights, and eleven grade student were made to clime the Snow Mountain.

變革的概念

Conception on Change

今天我想談改變，首先提出ABC的概念，影響(affect)、行為(behavior)和認知(cognition)，然後談談設定目標。

急遽改變的概念來自於探索而得的經驗，這經驗來自洞察力。我們常思考：為什麼會成功？這是一個重要的問題要回答。

第二是溝通，我們知道如何創造意義，如何溝通，第三是互動，我也認為，要思考與合作得更好。如此才能更投入，才能解決問題，共享心智模式，所有人都認同前進。

Today I am going to do is finish up the conception on change. First, I say the ABC- the affect, behavior, the cognition, and the move on to a related topic which is setting goals.

There is a concept about the acute change that comes with an eureka experience, with an insight. We are often thinking ”Why does work”? This is an important question to ask and answer.

Secondly, communicate. We have to understand how to creates meaning, how to communicate, Third, interactive. And I also think, the better we can think and collaborate together. So that we engage much more fully. That can be applied in a wide range of problem solving. But instead the entire team creates a shared mental model that they can all agree on and more forward on.

領導的責任：為未來定下目標

  全世界最老的國家-日本，首相安倍晉三先生，針對人口老化問題推出加強經濟學的第三支箭，特別設立「選擇未來」委員會，其重點是：不能讓人口無限制下滑，必須穩住一億人口。這是日本第一次在振興經濟的框架下，有別於過往

，思考人口問題。(安倍的三支箭分別是：第一支箭貨幣寬鬆，第二支箭財政，第三支箭要擴大內需、投資，讓日本真正動起來。)安倍喊出一億人口高標，也許在他任期內最終只是他個人的理想，無法達成；但是那是一個發展方向，是日本持續發展的方向。

  人才是企業的靈魂，人才是企業的未來。面向未來，未來是個選擇，人才成為組織進步的關鍵，人才競爭不是組織內部單一問題，更是組織間跨界的競爭，人才是組織進步的動力，教育組織裡的人員更須具備團隊合作、高執行力和深度思考能力。面對少子化，十二年國教等競爭議題，學校需要調整體質，須精實落實教育的想法與做法，組織變革涉及發展策略，部門間職權劃分，處室內人力安排、系統流程設計等，需腦力激盪、集思廣益。

  大家都知道基礎的重要，但是又希望速成，不願意從細微開始，不願意做細微的基礎工作，更不願意一步步的練習。當我們看到他人的成果與成就時，不免產生心嚮往之，有志一同的豪氣，可是又有多少人能達到？我們看到的是結果，看不見的是背後艱辛歷程，也沒有一步一腳印的落實。「合抱之木，生於毫末；九層之臺，起於累土；千里之行，始於足下」，參天大樹，是從細小萌芽生長起來；九層高台，是從第一層堆積起來；千里之遙，是從腳下一步步走出來的。想要完成志業，要從最基層開始，耐得住寂寞，按部就班，一步一腳印，持之以恆，每天向前推移。

  走筆至此，讓我懷念起以前長官，前台中縣教育局長吳炯泰先生，當年我在教育局服務時，有一次在一個重要會議時，我擔任記錄，會後呈送會議紀錄時，看完後他抬起頭對我說：「你記錄寫得很好」。簡單的一句話，對一個年輕的心靈真是莫大的鼓舞，成為自己在寫作的動力，也成為再進修的能量。日後自己主持校務時，一樣的，適時的讚美是最好的鼓舞，年輕人是需要激發的，年輕人給它舞台和空間，給予期許，他就可以發光發熱，這也成為和同仁相處時的座右銘，肯定他人正向能量，這股力量就會持續擴大，成為改變的動力。

在惡劣環境中依然昂首向前

  探索無懼於任何空間，它跨越人類潛藏的懼怕，重新界定人類成就的極限，創新往往發自內心，奮勇向前，行走於一條未知之路，不斷刷新自己能力極限的紀錄，顯現出堅毅不斷向前。

  是甚麼叫一個人與別人不同？能力？才華？還是一個簡單的微笑。當我們遇到幼兒時，那一抹燦爛笑容，縱使俗事煩心，相信剎那間可以讓人回味天真與浪漫，化解生活周遭的煩憂。人類從出生即開始一輩子的旅程，有人一路上可以不斷的選擇與抉擇，有些則釘在原生地，與自然為伍，以天空為棚大地為帳，天真浪漫，體驗最純真的生活，悠遊自在，一派與世無爭的爛漫，自然成長。以叢林裡的樹比喻，枝繁葉茂，參天遮蔭；或庭園植栽，修剪成型，賞心悅目，何者為傲？何者得宜？仁智之間，各有勝場，但也各取所需，到羽化登仙，回歸自然，又是一個循環的開始。

  渾沌社會中，人心思變，很多人以為他山之石可以攻錯，因此喜歡拿別人的經驗說嘴，卻忽略自身體驗的重要，面對變動的世界，想要深刻的變革，要從自己的經驗追求與累積做起，現場直擊可以帶來最大震撼，親身體驗，像農夫耕田、政治人物的走透透，都是在追求第一手經驗；但是第一手經驗不可能每件事都能身歷其境，只能退而求其次，汲取別人的經驗，以彌補本身之不足，然而弱水三千只取一瓢，只能淺嚐而已，無法產生深刻印象引發深刻的改變。

  當理想與現實碰觸時，取捨否？斷續嗎？舒適與冒險間真是艱難的抉擇，美國有句俗諺說：當橡膠接觸路面時，才是駕駛上路的時候。一切的書本知識都無法取代對路況的掌握，能應付多變的真實世界，只能不斷的創造第一手經驗。追求變革第一手經驗不可缺，然而，想要改變生命，要從改變自己開始。先改變生命，才能改變組織，進而改變世界(Change lives. Change organizations. Change the world)，這是一個循序漸進的過程，最重要的要先能改變自己，心改變了，態度因而改變，態度改變，養成習慣，世界的趨勢就會跟著改變。
