The glimmer of thought penetrates the pages and the future
Discussion in Morning Light: AI functions and the outline of future curriculum planning
I had been invited to assist in the planning of AI application courses, so I came to the Industrial Association early in the morning to prepare for a functional interview. The morning air was slightly cool. When I stepped into the conference room of the [Industry Association] (https://www.tfoi.org.tw), I saw a stack of materials on the table, and I was quietly waiting for this in-depth conversation to begin.
This meeting focused on the functional evaluation and future curriculum design of AI Application Planner. It was a discussion spanning technology and education. I sat around a long table with my colleagues from the Industrial Association. The topic of AI talent training was an urgent one. We quickly started chatting, and various AI discourses were intertwined in the air, as if they also outlined a blueprint for the future and many possibilities.
“Today’s AI is developing very fast, but there is no unified standard for the market’s demand for cultivating application talents,” a partner said, and I agree.
Enterprises need not just technology developers, but talents who can plan application scenarios, interpret data, and understand technology and market needs.
While I was sharing my own views, I was also quickly recording everyone’s opinions. This also made me start thinking, how can AI courses not only impart knowledge, but also become a bridge between industry and learners?
The two-hour interview was like an in-depth brainstorming session. Between AI technology and market demand, I slowly pieced together a more complete outline. When the meeting ended, I closed my notebook and had a new direction in my mind. Knowledge should not just be superficial information, but a tool that can be truly transformed into practical abilities. This discussion has made this path clearer.
Encounter at Eslite Bookstore: Encounter with your own new book
In the afternoon, I came to Zhongshan Station for a meeting with a brand consulting company on the preparation of knowledge products. This was a pragmatic and efficient dialogue. From market demand to learning experience, and from teaching material structure to implementation, we discussed one by one, trying to make every detail more complete.
When the meeting ended and it was still early, I decided to go to the nearby Eslite Bookstore for a walk. This is not a special arrangement, but a habit. When thoughts are complicated, bookstores can always bring a wonderful calm.
I walked among the bookshelves, touching new books with my fingertips. Then, in the new book section of the marketing category, I saw my own work.
At that moment, time seemed to slow down. 12 books were neatly displayed on the shelf. The familiar covers and titles came into view, as if they were smiling quietly at me. This isn’t the first book I’ve published, but it still brings the same thrill.
You can create a personal brand and monetize it without knowing how to program.
The birth of a book is often not like a curriculum plan that goes through careful planning, discussion, and polishing by a team, but is more like a quiet creative journey: it usually starts with one person’s thinking, then goes through pages of writing, and is finally handed over to readers from all over for judgment. I stood in front of the bookshelf and looked at it quietly, filled with gratitude and a subtle expectation.
I hope it can find the right readers, and I hope it can become someone’s soul companion late at night.
Friends’ words are more inspiring than ranking numbers
In the evening, a message came from Zihan, a classmate in the doctoral class: “Congratulations on the publication of the new book! I am so proud to be your classmate!”
This short sentence moved me more than any number on the ranking list.
She didn’t specifically explain why she was proud, but I could feel that it came from the friendship of each other’s companionship and witness. We support each other on the academic road, witness each other’s efforts, and understand the hardships and joys of this road.
“Thank you!” I replied to her. Actually, what I wanted to say was: “Don’t you think we should all be proud?”
Sometimes, achievement doesn’t just come from the result, but from the entire process. Between learning, research, writing, and dialogue, we are slowly shaping a better version of ourselves. And all of this is not only worthy of being seen, but also allowing ourselves to be a little proud.
As night falls, the quiet time of Japanese dramas and AI live broadcasts
In the evening, I watched the [AI Knowledge Alchemy] 2/26 To Code, or Not To Code?: Online Lecture by Wang Yongfu and Gao Jianlong, and the n8n tool attracted my attention. It can automate many tedious tasks and make knowledge management and data processing more efficient. As I listened, I thought, could this be integrated into future teaching and research?
Late at night, I had my own time, and I started watching dramas. Tonight’s drama is the Japanese drama “[Japan’s No. 1 Rotten Man](https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/日本的精品人_※My Fake Family)”. Watching the little character played by [Katori Shingo] (https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/Katori Shingo) struggling in reality, the delicate performance with warmth makes people immersed in it. Many characters in life may not be great, but they have the most touching truth.
The day goes by in learning and thinking.
Morning light and night, singing the flow of time
On this day, there were no overly intense climaxes, but there were many moments worth savoring.
From discussions on AI applications with fellow workers in the industrial association in the morning, to encountering my own works in the bookstore in the afternoon; from messages from friends, to quiet reflection at night, these fragments are intertwined into a flowing beauty, reminding me that growth does not come from a specific moment, but happens quietly from these subtle accumulations.
The morning light brings exploration of the future; the afternoon brings witness to the results of hard work; the night brings all the feelings to slowly settle.
And I will continue to move forward, on this road full of possibilities, to welcome the arrival of the next sunrise.
