I myself received degrees in physics from Taiwan's Tsinghua University and electronic engineering from National Taiwan University. Speaking strictly in terms of academic success, I did very well, but I actually feel like I failed miserably. The competition to get into the best schools at every level of my schooling not only quashed my creativity, it just about completely drained me of any enthusiasm for scholarship.
我自己在台灣清華大學物理系、台大電機研究所畢業，以升學競爭的角度來看是十分成功的，可是我卻覺得自己十分失敗，因為經過層層的升學競爭，不僅把我的創造力磨得精光，對於做學問的熱情也消磨殆盡。
