關於風

為什麼會叫做風呢？話說當年少不更事為賦新辭強說愁得時候，覺得自己有個字號或是筆名勢必是一件很酷的事。當時我心中第一個想到的就是梁啟超的別號「飲冰室主人」—有趣又不會太八股。所以我就想囉！有一天我在讀書的時候莫名的讀到了唐朝李世民寫的一首詩「賜蕭瑀」。這首詩是這麼說的：

疾風知勁草，板蕩識誠臣。
勇夫安識義，智者必懷仁。

不知道為什麼，我當時就愛上了這首詩—的第一句。所以我就幫自己取了一個筆名叫做「風勁草」。這應該是發生在國中時候的事情，所以風勁草這個名字已經跟了我20年了！這是我記憶中跟風第一次扯上關係。

我後來越來越喜歡風，因為我覺得風很飄逸、很自由。我一直嚮往成為一個飄逸、自由的人－雖然這跟我的個性不是很像。我其實一個比較安定、情緒波動不多的人。Anyway，也許人都希望成為自己不是的那種人吧！高中的時候我開始迷上的香港馬榮成的武俠漫畫「風雲」。其中的主角之一「聶風」就是一個飄逸、自由、卻又武功高強並且負責任心的人。那是真希望自己也能這樣。不過聶風的身世很悲慘，所以想想還是算了吧！

Teaching Philosophy:

1. I believe that class is a community. As a community member, learners are expected to actively engage in class activities, behave civilly and ethically toward each other, challenge each other intellectually, and support each other emotionally.
2. I believe my responsibility as a teacher is to inspire learners, share knowledge and experiences, and facilitate good learning habits. The teacher must be a role model of good learning behaviors as I strive to advance my knowledge through reading, research, exchanging and sharing knowledge and ideas with others in the profession, and reflection and writing.
3. I expect the learners of my class to remember key facts, analyze and synthesize facts and ideas, integrate the knowledge and reflect on their own experiences, and apply the knowledge in real life situations through research and practice.
4. I believe the learning objectives and expected outcomes must be clearly communicated to the learners in the beginning of the semester. All class activities, readings, assignments, assessments, and grading standards must be directly tied to the learning objectives.
5. As future higher education leaders, my students are expected to demonstrate professionalism and ethical behaviors in all class-related activities.
