In the flowing time, cherish those warm encounters
Wisdom exchange in the morning light: When the mother of Taiwanese coaches meets AI
The early morning sunlight shines into the room through the curtains, bringing with it a hint of warmth, as if gently waking up to the beginning of the day. I hurriedly packed up my laptop and got in the car to go to my appointment with teacher Wang Jinzhu. For me, this gathering is a conversation full of expectations—she is a pioneer in Taiwan’s coaching community, and I am exploring the fields of academics and technology applications. What kind of sparks will come out of our encounter?
Teacher Wang Jinzhu is one of the earliest pioneers and pioneers in the coaching field in Taiwan. In the early days when no one knew what “coaching” was, they learned and introduced coaching methods. Later, they also invested in the promotion of coaching methods and courses for a long time.
When I arrived at the cafe, Teacher Wang was already sitting elegantly in the corner with a notebook in his hand. Her smile is still warm, with a calmness that has not diminished despite the passage of time. We exchanged a few pleasantries and the topic quickly got to the point.
“Now that AI is so powerful, can it help us teachers, who have been in the training industry for many years, to transfer knowledge to students more efficiently? Is there any way to design teaching briefings more quickly and effectively?” she asked, with a light of exploration in her eyes.
I nodded, opened my laptop, and showed her how to use Gamma, an AI tool, to design presentations, how to use AI to generate exciting syllabus content to improve the quality of the course, and even tailor a personalized learning experience according to the needs of students. The teacher listened intently and nodded from time to time.
“That’s great!” she laughs. “But what about the website? If I want to start building my own knowledge brand, where do I start?”
So, while explaining it to Teacher Wang, I helped build my personal website. We start from choosing a suitable domain name and progress to planning the basic structure of the content. In just a few hours, a professional [personal website] (https://www.mindful.tw) was initially born.
As we chatted over coffee, I suddenly realized that this was not just a technical exchange, but also a conversation about inheritance and progress. She shared how to establish the influence of mindfulness from the perspective of seniors, while I helped her extend her influence to the wider world from the perspective of technology. We looked at each other and smiled. This was a cross-generational dialogue, an exchange and integration of knowledge.
Afternoon companionship: When technology becomes the starting point of dreams
After leaving the cafe, I immediately rushed to the cafe I had agreed with Yi Zhen. She has recently started to build her own personal brand and wants to build a website of her own, so I decided to accompany her through this process to save her some detours.
“Can I really do this by myself?” She opened the Heptabase note-taking software and asked hesitantly, tapping her fingers on the desktop.
“Of course you can,” I encouraged her with a smile. “Today’s technology has allowed us to build our own brand and business with the lowest threshold. The key lies in whether you dare to take the first step.”
So, we started a “crash course in website building”. From hosting the domain with Cloudflare to choosing a suitable website template, I guided her while watching her go from being nervous at the beginning to excitedly clicking on each setting option. Unknowingly, an afternoon passed like this.
“Oh my god, I actually built the website!” she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with disbelief.
At this moment, I knew that technology is not just a technology, it is also a kind of empowerment. When people master the tools, they can truly create possibilities for their dreams.
The warmth of the night: When friendship becomes the most precious guardian
As night fell, the city lights flickered outside the window. I was about to take a rest when my phone suddenly vibrated.
“I must help you find a beautiful girl to be your future partner, and make it one of your 50 wishes for this year.” This was a LINE message from my friend 琐绮. This short line of text made me stunned for a few seconds.
Maybe it’s because today’s schedule is too full, or maybe it’s because I’ve experienced too many warm exchanges on this day, but this sentence suddenly touched me. In this fast-moving world, someone remembers you and cares about your happiness. This is such a precious feeling.
Her words are like an unpostmarked letter, which requires no ceremony but warms her heart directly. Perhaps the most beautiful connection in the world is like this, inadvertently, being remembered by someone and hoping that you can be happy.
In the changing time, plant the seeds of warmth
On this day, from the exchange of technology to the realization of dreams, and then experiencing the warmth of friendship, every moment made me feel that our life is not just a one-way struggle, but is composed of countless delicate connections.
Perhaps, the flow of life is like a sickle, harvesting and transforming at different moments; but as long as our hearts are like a big tree, deeply rooted in the earth, those warm memories and connections will be like tree roots, endless, nourishing our lives.
I hope that every day in the future, we can plant warm seeds so that they can grow strong and bloom beautiful flowers over the years.
