I am proud to say that recently I’ve been trying this “5 Minutes Rule”

The 5-minute rule is a cognitive behavioral therapy technique for procrastination in which you set a goal of doing whatever it is you would otherwise avoid, but only do it for five minutes. If after five minutes it's so horrible that you have to stop, you are free to do so. Mission accomplished. Done.

I found myself usually end up accomplishing them. And there will be achievements and fulfillment waiting for the “hard-working me” to collect.

If you struggle with procrastination, you should definitely try this “5 minutes rule”
-最近在練習”Just 5 Minutes Rule”

對一件該做的事感到疲憊，不知怎麼起手時，「先做5分鐘」看看，如果5分鐘了還是一樣覺得徬徨那就只做5分鐘沒關係，至少你試過了，可能它真的太複雜；太困難；太無聊；太勞神… 但多數情況下，開始著手5分鐘，你會發現自己越來越上手，有思路，而且會「想」把它完成終結以達到成就感。

一件事情難就難在真的開始的起頭，一旦開始了就會發現好像也不是那麼累或無助，轉眼間該做的事就完成了。

如果你也常常因為很多工作或任務卡在一起，不知道怎麼處理怎麼開始而困擾，我很推這個「就做5分鐘」的練習！

雖說您將離開台灣，但台灣永遠不會離開您！祝福酈英傑處長鵬程萬里！

📝酈英傑處長給台灣人民的道別信
「隨著我擔任美國在台協會處長的日子即將畫下句點，我也即將離開台灣，我想藉這個機會和大家分享，這一番歷練對我來說的意義是什麼。當我說擔任AIT處長其實是我這輩子的榮幸，也讓我得以實現長期職業生涯中的抱負與理想，這麼說一點也不為過。
我19歲時第一次離開家鄉，就是來台灣。對年輕的我來說，從那時起，台灣就成了交流與理解、探索與冒險的同義詞。台灣不僅有著讓人眼花撩亂的異鄉風情，也代表著意想不到的嶄新機會。我在這裡嘗試新奇的食物，像是水餃和臭豆腐，並且學習如何在擠滿單車和機車的大街小巷穿梭自如。一方面，我努力用我粗淺的中文，讓別人聽懂我說的話；但同時我也發現，無論走到哪裡，迎接我的都是滿滿的親切友善與熱情好客。
因此，在成為美國外交官後，能夠以台灣作為我派駐海外的第一站，真是再適合不過了。畢竟，是台灣首先點燃了我對亞洲、尤其是台灣的畢生興趣，也激發了我對跨文化理解和共享目標——也就是外交工作——的終身熱忱。此後，我也曾派駐其他地點，多數是在大中華區域，但我的台灣經歷與回憶始終常存我心。最終我能以美國駐台最高層級外交官的身分回來這裡，可說是我多年職涯的高峰。顯然，我這一生注定與台灣有著深刻的連結，或者也叫作「緣分」吧，才會讓我一次又一次不斷地回到台灣。
常有人問我，為什麼我這麼喜歡台灣。我總覺得：「答案不是很明顯嗎？」不過如果一定要我從個人與專業的角度，解釋我對台灣的喜愛與敬佩之情，我通常會提到以下幾個領域：
首先，台灣兼具活力與穩定、進步與延承、還有創新與傳統。每次回到這裡，我都對台灣社會在各個方面日新月異的進步感到驚艷不已。台灣的民主更臻成熟，經濟益加蓬勃，環境保護更受關注，藝術文化發展也生生不息。
台灣在許多最先進的科技產業上持續為全球創新樹立標竿，但與此同時，台灣的社會穩定和文化傳承依舊令人欽羨佩服。儘管生活充裕且形象良好，台灣人民卻依然謙虛樸實、平易近人。在台灣，最古老的傳統薪火相傳、歷久彌新。文化和歷史古蹟受到妥善的修復與保護；年輕人也可以學習代代相傳的書法技巧，接著再把作品秀在Instagram上。
再者，對美國來說，台灣正是共享利益與共享價值交集的典範。美台夥伴關係的重點在於確保科技發展能夠嘉惠、而非傷害我們雙方的經濟，科技突破則應被用於鞏固、而不是破壞我們的原則。美台之間自由、多元、平等及透明等共享價值，時時激勵我們努力在世界各地打造民主社會的韌性。而我們也持續尋求新的方式，為解決全球問題做出貢獻，這麼做不僅是因為能夠造福我們自己的人民，也是因為我們相信，身為21世紀敦親睦鄰的好夥伴，就是該這麼做。
最後，每當我想到台灣、以及整體美台關係，我總會想到希望、光明和成長。美台的情誼在過去40年來不斷拓展與茁壯。我相信每任處長都會同意，他們離開台灣時的美台夥伴關係，比起他們剛上任時都更上一層樓。同樣的，當我向AIT告別的那一天，我的心中將充滿肯定與成就感，因為我知道，美台夥伴關係比以往都更加深刻和強健，我也對自己能為美台關係今天亮眼的進展小有貢獻，而深感驕傲。
但是，比起這些事情，我想我更難忘的是台灣在我生命中所留下的深刻印記。我永遠會記得我在台灣度過的第一個聖誕節，還有第一個農曆新年。我永遠會記得台灣朋友的真摯與溫暖、教會同伴堅定的信仰、炎炎夏日來一碗芒果冰的沁涼、資源回收車沿街播放《給愛麗絲》的回音，還有巷弄中撲鼻而來的茉莉花香，這些都會是我畢生珍藏的美好回憶之一。我也會記得好友間的餐聚、充滿歡笑和故事的夜晚、以及一路以來我受到過的無數的善意與關懷。我更會永遠記得，是各位台灣朋友們，你們以各種不同的方式，讓我和我家人的生命更加地豐盛美好。對此，我要衷心地謝謝大家。
雖然我將離開台灣，但台灣不會離開我。」

📝A Farewell Letter from AIT Director W. Brent Christensen
"As my time as AIT Director draws to a close and I prepare to leave Taiwan, I want to take this opportunity to tell you what this experience has meant to me. It is not an exaggeration to say that this has been the honor of my life and the fulfillment of a career-long aspiration.
The first time I left my hometown at age 19, it was to come to Taiwan. From that early age, Taiwan became synonymous for me with the ideas of exchange and understanding, exploration and adventure. Taiwan represented both disorienting foreignness and unexpected opportunity, as I tried new food – like shuijiaos and qiu doufu – and learned to navigate my way through streets crowded with bicycles and scooters. And struggled to make myself understood with my rudimentary Mandarin. But all the while discovering the kindness and generosity that welcomed me wherever I went.
It felt appropriate for me to serve my first tour as a U.S. diplomat in the place that first sparked in me a lifelong interest in Asia – and in Taiwan in particular – and in cross-cultural understanding and shared purpose, or in other words, diplomacy. After that, my career took me to other places, but mostly still in the China region. But the memories of my experiences in Taiwan stayed with me. And finally having the opportunity to serve as the top U.S. diplomat to Taiwan was the culmination of all the years that came before. It is clear that I have a lifelong connection to Taiwan, or “yuanfen,” that has led me to return again and again.
People often ask me why I have such a fondness for Taiwan. “Isn’t it obvious?!” I always think. But when forced to explain my affection for and professional fascination with Taiwan, I usually come back to a few themes.
First, dynamism and constancy; progress and preservation; innovation and tradition. Every time I return to Taiwan, I am immediately struck by the many ways Taiwan has advanced as a society. Taiwan’s democracy grows more mature, its economy more prosperous, its environment more cared-for, and its arts and culture more vibrant.
Taiwan’s industry continues to set the benchmark for global innovation in some of the most sophisticated technologies, but at the same time, Taiwan society is remarkable for its stability and cultural continuity. Taiwan’s people, despite their relative wealth and stature, continue to be modest and unassuming. Taiwan’s most ancient traditions are alive and well. Cultural and historic sites are restored and preserved. Young people may learn calligraphy techniques handed down for generations, but then share their work on Instagram.
Second, for the United States, Taiwan exemplifies the intersection of shared interests and shared values. Our partnership is about making sure our economies are beneficiaries rather than casualties of technological development and ensuring that technological development advances rather than undermines our principles. Our shared values of freedom, diversity, equality, and transparency inspire our efforts to build the resilience of democracies around the world. And we continue to find new ways to contribute to global problem solving, both because it benefits our own peoples and because we share the belief that this is what it means to be a good neighbor in the 21st century.
Finally, I associate Taiwan – and the broader U.S.-Taiwan relationship – with hope, promise, and growth. This friendship has expanded and flourished over the past 40 years; I believe every person who has done this job walked away knowing they left this partnership better than they found it. I will similarly leave AIT with a sense of accomplishment and success, knowing that the U.S.-Taiwan partnership is deeper and stronger than ever, and feeling immensely proud of my small role in getting us there.
But more than any of these things, I will remember the ways that Taiwan has touched me personally. I will always remember my first Christmas in Taiwan – and my first Chinese New Year. I will remember the warmth of Taiwan friendship, the faith of my fellow church members, the taste of a mango bing on a hot summer day, the echo of “Fur Elise” from the recycling truck, the fragrance of jasmine blossoms in village alleyways – these are just some of the memories I will treasure. I will remember the long dinners with dear friends, full of laughter and stories. And I will remember their many kindnesses. I will remember all the ways big and small that you, the people of Taiwan, touched my life and the lives of my family. And for that, I thank you.
I may be leaving Taiwan, but Taiwan will never leave me. "

本集主題：「你快樂，所以你成功」新書介紹
　　
專訪：張燕宜 企劃
　　
你快樂，所以你成功：史丹佛大學最重要的快樂心理課，打破6大慣性成功迷思，化快樂為生產力
　　
成功不一定快樂，但快樂更容易成功
本書獲選美國《企業》（Inc.）雜誌2016年5本必讀商業書籍之一
　　
你還在把「吃苦當吃補」嗎？關於「成功」這件事，你是不是也有下面這些迷思：
一、要隨時保持在火力全開的「衝衝衝」狀態。
二、壓力愈大，才會愈成功。
三、堅持到底，成功就會來找你。
四、發揮潛能，讓自己成為特定領域的專家。
五、不要拿自己的弱項與別人的強項相比拚。
六、不夠成功，是因為還不夠自私。
　　
當生活的速度讓人感覺壓力沉重、精力耗盡時，我們常會自責，認為別人好像都能身兼數職，面面俱到，自己怎可認輸？只要努力撐下去，繼續拚搏，就能成功達陣；當一切的辛苦和煎熬結束後，快樂就會降臨。
　　
大家不是說成功會帶來快樂嗎？然而，當咬牙撐過痛苦、撐過極限後，輸掉的卻是我們的快樂與幸福。
　　
我們相信許多過時且錯誤的理論，也深信「成功會使人快樂」，但長期的科學研究已經證實，這種說法應該倒過來：「快樂不是成功的結果，而是使人成功的原因。」
　　
史丹佛大學「快樂心理學」課程的首創者賽佩拉博士，在本書說明如何利用簡單的六步驟，讓你既快樂又成功。她運用神經科學與心理學的策略，歸納出讓人獲得小確幸與成功力的六大關鍵，包括：
　　
一、活在當下，享樂也要在當下。
分心是導致不幸福快樂的原因；在我們最專注、最投入的時刻，往往是最快樂的時候。
　　
二、強化韌性，愈挫愈勇。
韌性是人類與生俱來的天性，善用好壓力，遠離壞壓力，培養對於挫折的耐受力，就能幫助自己挺過挫折與挑戰。
　　
三、保持平靜，用對能量不會累。。
意志力像肌肉，用久了就會疲憊，別再硬撐了，善用平靜的力量，能讓我們在工作上和生活中都更有體力，心智更專注，精神更愉悅，永遠活力滿滿。
　　
四、學習無所事事，讓大腦放空。
許多頭腦靈活的創意鬼才都表示，他們天馬行空的創意與想法，常常是在做白日夢，或在從事與工作完全不相干、又不花腦筋的活動時冒出來的。
　　
五、善待自己，對自己更寬容。
如果在失敗後對自己態度苛刻，只會讓自己再次失敗；如果你能善待自己，下次就會做得更好。
　　
六、心懷慈悲，多點同理心。
研究證明，好人比較容易成贏家（只要他們能學會不被人利用其良善的特質）、能激發人的忠誠度，也讓人覺得溫暖與被信任，更能提升創新的精神。
　　
書中也提出諸多實證有效的幸福理論，包括：
．快樂會讓人的生產力增加百分之十二。
．大家對於「成功」往往過於期待，一旦達成目標，會發現自己並沒有當初以為的那麼快樂。
．冥想是種能保持專注、獲得平靜的方式，甚至有些人在冥想後覺得四周的色彩變得更鮮豔了。
．避免過度自我控制，因為這樣會讓血糖降低進而使意志力變弱。
．仁慈是領導者最需要具備的特質，能讓員工對老闆更忠誠，工作更盡心盡力。
　　
本書的快樂成功學，教我們重新思考「成功」的定義以及真正的快樂之道，並利用快樂重設頭腦，改變生命走向，重寫成功的方程式，化更大的幸福為更大的成功。
