【國立臺灣大學109學年度畢業典禮 致詞代表 資訊工程學系韓哈斯】
Student Address, National Taiwan University Commencement 2021

校長、教授、以及在螢幕前的各位同學，大家好。非常感謝臺大給我這個機會。我是韓哈斯，來自美國華盛頓特區。我會以自身的真實經驗出發，來跟大家分享臺大帶給我的收穫。

我當初為什麼選擇來台灣求學呢？我小時候非常喜歡看武打片，然後我十歲的時候去看了一部電影叫做「功夫熊貓」。這部電影成為了我最喜歡的電影，主角「阿波」的故事跟我的故事很像。我看完了之後就決定要開始學功夫，所以去了「美國武術學院」。那個時候我每天都聽旁邊的人講中文，到了高中我就決定開始學中文。當時我遇到了一位貴人，她是從台北到美國來教書的中文老師，她教的課是我當時最喜歡的課，我每天去她的教室跟好朋友練習。到了高中畢業時，我是全高中中文最好的非母語人士。同時，我第二喜歡的課程是電腦科學，那時候我是程式能力數一數二的學生。後來在成功錄取夢寐以求的學校：臺灣大學之後，我感到雀躍不已，因為我既可以繼續學習中文，也可以持續在世界頂尖的學府中，往電腦科學的方向精進自我。

不過老實說，當我回顧大一的時期，我也曾迷失自我。雖然我修了很多很多的中文課，但是我那時只聽得懂大概一半的課程內容。跟大家對美國人的印象不同，我其實很害羞，也很害怕舉手提問，我甚至不太敢參與社交，所以當時朋友也很少。我開始想家，也變得有一點憂鬱。那時籃球是我唯一的紓壓方式。

但更不幸的是，我在打籃球時弄傷了我的前十字韌帶，做了兩次手術，需要一年半才能恢復。許多的負面情緒壓得我喘不過氣。我被困在人生的低谷，不知如何是好。我覺得我的中文不夠好，我也被診斷出失眠跟ADHD，另外，美國高中的數學太簡單了，來這邊不夠用。種種壓力讓我足不出戶，找不到自己的人生方向。後來，我向臺大心輔中心以及我的心理醫師尋求協助，然後我也開始跟系上有更多互動。有一位教授叫徐宏民跟我說，"Never give up"，雖然那時候我覺得這句話太過於簡化了我的問題，不過，在我仔細思考了一個禮拜之後，我下定決心，發誓不讓自己被這些事擊敗。我決定要克盡全力，認真做好每件事。這是我人生的轉捩點，我開始變得異常自律。當時廖世偉教授和洪士灝系主任帶我進入它們的研究室鑽研學術。這重燃了我對資訊工程的熱忱，提醒了我當初會愛上這個領域的原因。我開始研究人工智慧以及區塊鏈，也開始跟其他系上同學交朋友，一起成立臺大人工智慧應用社NTUAI。NTUAI現在是校內頗具規模的技術研究社團，致力於推廣人工智慧給任何對該領域有熱忱的學生。歡迎加入NTUAI，可以掃描我們的QR CODE。

最近，由於疫情的緣故，我已經一年半沒回美國了。但是沒關係，因為我已經找到了我第二個家。我很愛臺大，以及台灣的人事物。雖然我經歷了人生的低潮，但這裡的一切總是給我滿滿的祝福與協助。最後，我想送給大家「功夫熊貓」裡的一句台詞： "You just need to believe"。只要用樂觀的態度去面對困難，就有能力改變自己，甚至改變身旁所愛的人。就像阿波的父親說的，"心誠則靈，只要你相信，點石就能成金。根本沒有什麼秘笈。只有你。"謝謝大家。

President, professors, and classmates, I'm very honored to be here. Thank you to NTU for giving me this opportunity. My name's Seth Austin Harding, and I'm from the D.C. metropolitan area. I'm going to tell a real story that's personal but that's relatable and what I see as the real me.

What motivated and guided me to take my undergraduate studies in Taiwan? When I was very young, I really loved watching kung fu movies, and when I was 10 years old, I went to the theater to watch "Kung Fu Panda". This became my favorite movie as I felt like the story of the main character Po was one to which I could very much relate. After watching this movie, I decided that I wanted to start learning kung fu, so I went to the United States Wushu Academy. At the time, I began hearing Mandarin on a daily basis, so when I was in high school, I decided to begin formally studying Chinese. It ended up being my Chinese teacher from Taipei who was my favorite teacher who taught my favorite class, so I decided I'd hang out in the Chinese classroom every day and practice lots. By the time graduation came around, I had attained the highest proficiency in Chinese among any non-native speaker in my school. My second favorite class was computer science, and I ended up attaining among the best coding skills in my school. After getting accepted to the school of my dreams -- National Taiwan University -- I felt honored, humbled, and excited; I could now spend time at among the world's finest universities studying Chinese and at the same time advancing my knowledge of computer science.

But when I look back at my freshman year, to be honest with you, I didn't know what I was doing. Despite having taken very many Chinese classes, when I went to the NTU lectures, I understood only about half of what the teachers were saying. Contrary to most people's impressions of an American, I was actually too shy to raise my hand, to ask questions, or to even meet with teachers after class, so I had very few friends at the time. I started to become homesick and depressed. At that time, I found that basketball was the only way I knew of relieving my stress. However, while playing basketball, I had torn my ACL and it would take two surgeries and a year and a half in time to fully recover. At this point, I felt caught between a rock and a hard place. In fact, this was the lowest point of my life, and I didn't know what to do. I felt like my Chinese wasn't good enough, I had been diagnosed with insomnia and ADHD, and I felt like the math taught in America was too simple to allow for me to keep up with my classmates. I was under immense pressure, and at this time, I lost any sense of purpose or direction. Later on, I went to seek help from NTU counseling, from my psychiatrist, and from my department. I reached out to Professor Winston Hsu from CSIE, and he told me this: "Never give up"; it was such an oversimplified way to approach such a complex series of problems, I had thought. However, I pondered these words intensely for one week, and by the end of that week, I had made a firm decision. This would NOT be another example of me giving up. I decided to go all out, to work diligently and passionately on all tasks at hand. This was the turning point of my life; I started to discipline myself to a very high degree. At this time, I met my then-to-become advisors Professor Shih-Wei Liao and Professor Shih-Hao Hung and entered their labs to begin research. Finally, the passion that I had for computer science that I had previously held in high school was kindled again, and I was finally reminded why I loved this field. I began my research life in blockchain and AI, and at the time I entered the lab, I also began creating NTUAI. NTUAI is now a large and highly successful NTU club that is dedicated to the research and public understanding of AI. Welcome one and all to join us; please scan our QR code here.

For a year and a half I haven't returned to America because of covid. But not to worry; I have found my second home, away from home. I love it here in NTU and I cherish all of the things I've had the privilege to experience in Taiwan. I've gone through the most difficult of struggles in my life here, but I've also had the most fortunate and blessed of experiences. To conclude, I'd like to quote a line from "Kung Fu Panda": "You just need to believe". As long as you are willing to adopt an optimistic attitude in facing challenges and hardships, you may become a positive force in changing the lives of those around you as well as your own life. It all depends on how you view it; just like what Po's father says, "there is no secret ingredient. It's just you." Thank you, everyone.

每日睡眠充足，是養精蓄銳與維持健康的重要關鍵。但由於現正處於疫情膠著時期，成天接收到各種即時災情報導，看得人心惶惶。加上近乎半封城的狀態，讓外出行動受到限制，許多人的公、私領域只能通通在家混為一談。而市場消費力銳減，更有不少人陷入經濟緊縮窘境。再因疫苗嚴重短缺，害怕生命隨時可能面臨威脅的焦慮感倍增，都使得生理時鐘受到嚴重干擾

而近年新冠疫情肆虐全球，許多人長期處於擔驚受怕的高壓生活情境中，使得睡眠障礙問題隨之攀升。也因此出現了Covid-somnia 或 coronasomnia 的新名詞（亦即 covid 19 新冠肺炎 + insomnia 失眠 = Covid-somnia or covidsomnia ）中文翻譯成 「新冠失眠症」。讓人出現白天工作精神不濟，晚上焦慮輾轉難眠的症狀

據美國加利福尼亞大學戴維斯分校的臨床健康教授暨睡眠專家 德雷克 表示，人的大腦會自行將上班和居家的場域做區分；上班的地方是給工作使用的，而居家環境當然是用來放鬆和休息的。但當前的這個「家」必須得要兼具工作和休息的功能；即便身體力行，但大腦或內心可能已產生了抗拒感。且在家工作後，能接觸陽光及運動量的機會都大幅減少，也沒了跟外界社交聯誼的管道，使得內心壓力無法獲得適當抒發，都是造成夜間睡眠品質不佳，進而使白天注意力不集中的主要原因了

眼看這頭瘟疫猛獸持續狡猾作態，與其終日心驚膽顫而讓自己精神萎靡失去戰力；且已清楚什麼是最壞的情況之下，倒不如再給自己一個扭轉頹勢的機會，努力提振精神養精蓄銳，不到最後關頭，當然絕不輕言放棄！以下「5個疫勿入侵的元氣食物」，日日積極補足能量，用飽滿活力遏止疫情蔓延！

❶酪梨
富含單元不飽和脂肪酸，屬於不易轉為身體脂肪的優異脂肪酸，是提升身體能量的絕佳來源，並有助降低血栓風險，改善血流作用；而維生素Ｂ群則有助活絡腦部細胞，對於提振精神貢獻卓越！

❷可可
含有助提振精神的黃烷醇，能促進血管擴張，增加大腦血流量，讓腦部運轉流暢，思緒清晰不疲倦。在選擇可可或巧克力時，皆以選擇高濃度且低糖量者為宜，以避免血糖起落，而讓元氣不增反減

❸雞蛋
當中含有鐵質、蛋白質等營養元素，可助提振精神。膽鹼Choline則可提升大腦運作效率，降低頭腦打結，使腦力充分發揮。且於早餐加顆蛋，還可讓一整天攝取的熱量減少10%，更能補充身體所需的完整營養

❹燕麥
內含水溶性膳食纖維，可穩定血糖，避免因血糖劇烈震盪現象而造成疲勞。且還能促進腸道健康、增加飽足感，好處多多。其屬主食類，富含碳水化合物，可提供大腦和肌肉所需能量，有助一早就有豐沛精神和體力迎接忙碌的挑戰。亦含有維生素B群，能使大腦思考更為靈敏，且對於壓力的承受度也有顯著提升

❺堅果
每日攝取一把原味低溫烘焙的綜合堅果有益身心健康，且於咀嚼時能增加腦部血流量，還可提供人體必須脂肪酸、維生素E等優質營養素，維生素E是維持細胞膜健康的重要成份，且能幫助血球健康，而血球中的紅血球負責提供氧氣與營養成份，紅血球健康會讓精神好、氣色佳。當中也含有礦物質鎂跟鋅等元素，其與身體能量代謝相關，缺乏時較易出現疲倦、情緒低落、無力等現象

#自己的活力自己培養
⚠️飲食均衡：三餐定時定量且不挑食，補足水份、遠離菸酒、咖啡因不超量，適量補充維生素B群、維生素D、鈣、鎂、益生菌等

⚠️規律作息：適時安排休閒娛樂活動並避免日夜顛倒，朝早睡早期且充份休息之目標前進。且無論幾點就寢，仍實行每日固定早起的原則

⚠️維持運動：尋找居家運動方案且持續進行，可有助伸展筋骨又紓解壓力，且可增進體能與代謝力；並勤做家事，不僅保持環境整潔，更可營造良好舒適的居家氛圍

⚠️遠離干擾：主動注意疫情動向，但不成天埋首其中。晚間少看新聞與使用手機等3C商品，避免因焦慮而影響睡眠；手機等電子商品的藍光則易干擾睡眠品質。睡覺時室內盡可能全黑，不開夜燈或非常微弱；白天起床則應有讓陽光穿透到室內的機會

➥【「失眠」是全球疫情影響心理健康最敏感的指標】：國家衛生研究院林煜軒醫師的研究團隊，最新發表在《醫學網路研究期刊》(Journal of Medical Internet Research)的研究，分析全世界受疫情影響程度不同的19個國家中網路搜尋 Google Trends 資料庫中「失眠」、「憂鬱」、「自殺」三個心理健康重要關鍵字的趨勢，發現疫情影響死亡數較高的國家，該國民眾搜尋「失眠」的比例也比較高。而疫情對群體心理健康的影響，似乎沒有達到更嚴重的增加群眾「憂鬱」與「自殺」的程度。
　　
失眠是許多壓力事件、憂鬱症、焦慮症等精神疾病的早期徵兆；因此用失眠或睡眠品質，做為心理健康的早期篩檢，這份研究提出臨床與公衛政策簡單有效的篩檢，也是重要的跨國比較實證根據。
