海洋選書- 拖鞋教授的海洋之夢-DIY一條船去環遊世界

by 徐 岡
本書給我的啟發，是我們必須學習離開「舒適圈」，脫離日常生活的瑣事，勇敢去逐夢。回顧求學的階段，除了老師單向授與知識外，更重要的一環就是自身對於求知的慾望動力。學海茫茫中，求知，變成自行摸索、搜尋的過程的集合，過程中不免有困難及挫敗，但這也是讓自己成長最有力且深刻的方式，只可惜，多數人不願跳離他所熟悉的一切，也就很難超越自己。回憶起第一次到日本參加交換學生計畫，在日本獨身生活三個月的經歷；第一次參與國際研討會，在來自世界各地的師生面前報告、分享心得；第一次…。回頭看這些第一次，不禁會敬佩當初的勇氣，也感激過程中的師長給予的鼓勵讓我有機會在不是自己熟悉的環境中去挑戰、成長。
