2010 NCKU Student Forum Invited Synnex Technology International CEO Shu-Wu Du

President Michael Ming-Chiao Lai and Vice-President of Student Affairs Pi-Chin Hsu began the forum by waving the school flag and rolling the golden ball. The lucky ball imprinted with horse drawings was passed through the hands of the audiences from the rear stage to the front, symbolizing the spirit of teachers leading students towards international excellence and top achievements.

President Lai pointed out that Student Forum plays a very important role in the NCKU education. The mission of National Cheng Kung University in the 21^st century is to train talents with excellent professional knowledge as well as humane accomplishments, meaning positive attitude, interpersonal relationships, outlook on the universe, etc. He also urged the students to make use of the opportunity to meet the master. The experience students gained from participating in the Student Forum is far more important than attending a lecture.

Student Representative Yi-Lin Tsai gave a presentation on how he discovered his inner self and made a breakthrough. He explained, "In my freshman year, I joined the Genesis Social Welfare Foundation. I was shocked when I first saw a vegetative patient. It made me think of the meaning of life and observe the people around me. By comparing what I observe in others and what I think in my mind, I now understand clearly why I become what I am today." Yi-Lin Tsai urged the students to question about their identities with daily thinking and close observation.

Synnex Technology International CEO Shu-Wu Du, having a long-term business management experience, shared his opinions on enterprises employment and personnel training. He discussed the importance of the five basic abilities, thinking, system, structure, collation and analysis. By persistent learning and continuous practice, these abilities will be cultivated into habits and transformed into talents, naturally forming a positive cycle.

From the business point of view of employment, once the factors of a working man with excellent conditions, characteristics and achievements are examined and understood, it is not necessary to pursue the hundreds of abilities mentioned in books. After we dismantle the hundreds of abilities scientifically, the common factors found are the so-called basic abilities, thinking, system, structure, collation and analysis.

Mr. Shu-Wu Du addressed to the students, "The knowledge we learned at school and the abilities we practiced at workplace are first applied in thinking. We must cultivate the thinking habit to think anytime and anywhere. Once your brain starts thinking, you will look at things from different perspectives. The process of comprehension, dismantlement, systematical collation and analysis of a matter is the learning method and the cultivation of the five basic abilities."
