   女兒Megan在私立女子高校就讀, 今年經由學校推甄參加大學甄試, 經學校公佈錄取'資訊傳播工程學系';那一刻間身為人父之喜悅,肯定女兒三年在校之學成,師長孜孜不倦之教誨、鼓勵、責切, 倍感師情之深愛; 女兒繕寫'備審'資料中,留老爸篇幅,希望能寫段家人勉勵的話,一時間還喜悅著'吾家有女初長成', 寫下老爸之勉勵及期許:
(另文還特別邀請Uncle Wayne齊勉勵)

Dear Megan(韻竹),

  爸爸、媽媽嘗試用相當方式,來表達剛接獲轉知推甄入選′靜宜大學‵內心之喜悅;隨之從旁看著妳著手備審資料作再三斟酌,親子連心體會到妳對入學′資訊傳播工程學系‵成為靜宜新鮮人之期待及願望;本乎資訊人創新及實際行動,衝入圖書館借閱系主任特別推薦,閱讀李開復先生大作"做21世紀的人才"其中第7章-大學四年應該這麼度過;章節闡明充滿智慧,一位相當傑出領導者以其優秀學經歷及責任感、使命感及情感願意提供有益的方法和經驗來幫助青年人建立起全新人才理念及思維成為21世紀人才;希望妳好好閱讀之!

   一直在想如何寫好抱負,還參閱著範本,爸爸帶來這本特地從北區圖書館借閱
【做21世紀的人才】; 爸爸很贊同系主任特別推薦同學閱讀陳開復先生大作,來作為未來大學學習方向之指引;尤其第7章 "大學生活應該這麼度過",其中有段 〞大學是人的一生中最為關鍵的階段。從入學的第一天起,應當對大學四年有正確的認識和規劃....〝 所以在未來的4年我將盡全力求學,尊循系所師長的指導,建立基楚知識、培養興趣,來提升自我競爭力。有人說:「最大的競爭對手就是自己」,我期許自己不斷的和自己賽跑,「爬上一座高山後,妳會發現更多高山在等妳」,所以,我相信學習是無止盡的,只有不斷充實才能培養智慧。

  其實妳能推甄入選′資訊傳播工程‵最高興的應該是爸爸;這幾天確實表現心急,真想趕緊把妳拉來公司一五一十轉述公司的電腦系統在做什麼?那天例舉科技迅速之發展, 因電腦系統及電子設備加入製藥製程, 將直接或間接影響生產過程,該電腦設備需要實施computer validation。

   有一回車載上學,前座看著妳左手三明治,右扶手機keyin簡訊回覆,當場與妳談及手機將主導未來之溝通(commution) ,手機界面之開發將是資訊業之重要課題,閒話提及, 培養觀察周遭之事物;放心那只是老爸之期盼,隨後瀏覽學系之網頁,若妳能順利入學在學校師長引導下,爸爸肯定告訴妳,在妳一生中最為關鍵階段,能有機會系統性接受教育建立知識基礎,跨入未來。

   再言之;這階段我們感受到妳盡力了,備審資料送達,我們約定之'下午茶'歡迎邀請相知朋友或同學,相互勉勵迎接踏入關鍵新階段!!
