Lin Ta-wei advises everyone thinking of changing their names, "A name is simply a tool for assisting you. If you can organize your inner thoughts to accommodate it, it is possible that the results of the new name will be many times more effective. But if you still carry on with the same thinking and same personality, it doesn't matter how good your new name is-it will be in vain!"
林大為奉勸所有想改名的人，「名字只是一個輔助工具，如果你內心能調整好，或許新名字可以讓你的努力獲得加倍成效；但如果你還是執著於原有的心念和個性，等於是一切如故，那麼再好的名字對你也是枉然！」
