If you don't believe it, just check out these words from an Ami folk song: "The Ami people plant crops each day / We fear not the sunlight, we fear not the wind and rain / Collecting shells by the seashore, catching shrimp in the streams / Each day happy beyond compare."
與海為伍的人個性開朗，不信聽聽阿美族民謠：「阿美族的人啊，日日耕作過活，不怕太陽曬，不怕風雨打，在海邊撿貝殼，在河裡捉螃蟹，日日快樂無比」。
