Final count down for the end of my long vacation
I just have three weeks in US.It's really rush.There are a lot of good memories ,I don't have time to write it.And there are something happened,and I just let them left in somewhere.I already do my best to try to enjoy them.Even though sometime the result is not near my original exception.I have to face it,deal with it and let it go.Because this is true life.
I think I become more mature,because I already can face bad or good think in real life, and face myself.

Inspired by Naoto Fukasawa in Connecting 07' design Congress
Today I want to write about what I was inspired by Naoto San in design congress.Because this is really important to me.
In his speech,he showed several his products.His presentation style is quiet simple and clear.And every idea is just right and just simple.Even though some of them I already saw in the book or website, I still felt touched.
After his speech,my friend and I walked to him and try to free chat with him.My Friend has a little complain about that he feel his design work is just to create different shapes and forms.Naoto san smiled and said,yes,it is.And the reason is because even you have a good idea,you still need a good shape to present it.Be honestly,I think my original design philosopher is to solve problem,I do really need know what is my design thinking when I do design,I can't just draw a beautiful shape without any shape.But now I do really attracted by Naoto san's design,and how to create beauty shape is my most interesting thing.
My question for Naoto san is" do you think that Western and Eastern aesthetic are difference?
He say American life is so difference from others.He do encourage us come back to Asia to develop our own design.And he believe Asian will become the design center of the world for next few years.It does encourage me, and I do believe I will come back to Taiwan to do my own design.

Courage
Last week,I participants IDSA" connecting "congress.I would say it's the most wonderful conference I never had before.Not only the content of the conference, the whole event gave me a lot of effects,Until now. I still feel shocked to my soul.
First big shocked is my dear friend Li-Wei.He give me a very good lesson.
The story began in first day afternoon,we chose the one speech but the speaker didn't show up.After 20 minutes ,the speech host came to apologize,and she ask that maybe some one want to show his portfolio .Suddenly, Li Wei raised his hand and said :I want to show my work.I want to show my work...................
He almost jumped to the platform. Even around 100 listeners continually left.Finally,there were 7 persons including dragon and me,he still finish his presentation.
Looking through his eyes,I saw the resolution.
Looking through his eyes.I saw the courage.
I did pride of him.Let's give him a big clap.
and after he finish, all listeners left,we mounted to platform, pretend we are speaker.
I wish someday,I will be there.

Design philosophy in Tao Te Ching!!
From I came to American,I always try to introduce Chinese culture to my forgien colleagues, but there is one situation make me feel shacked,even thought after almost 2 months,I still want to write down this.
Aug.3, that was a really beautiful night,at a backyard of German bar,My colleagues and I were having German sausages and beers with my colleagues, when I told about my religion is one kind of mix of Taoism and Buddhism,suddenly my boss Mr.D .tell me he know what is Tao,I feel really surprised .And he told me he had speech in China in Oct. 2004. and he use Tao Te Ching to describe his design philosophy as following:
Tao is defined as the "all-pervading eternal cosmic unity-the source from which all created things emanate"and Te signifies the" personal qualities of individual and all entities in the universe".
_Cut out doors and windows to make a room,but it is in the space where there is nothing,that the usefulness of the room lies.鑿戶牖以為室，當其無，有室之用
_Therefore,benefit may be derived from something,but it is in the nothing that we find usefulness.故有之以為利，無之以為用。
Designer need to find the essence of product,don't do over-designed.disingenuous,and meaningless.
I would say it's so cool to use Tao Te Ching to describe the design philosophy.
I think sometimes, we do need to turn back to see what we have.
Then we may have more confidence to show our self.
解釋:三十根輻條彙集于車轂而造車，有了其中的虛空，才發揮了車的作用；糅和陶土製作器皿，有了器皿內的虛空，才發揮了器皿的作用；開鑿門窗建造房屋，有了門窗四壁內的虛空，才發揮了房屋的作用。所以，"有"之所以能給人以便利，是因為它營造的"無"發揮了作用。

It means Integrity :including all the human needs,social context,and technical breakthroughs into a good cause or an innovation production.When done right,all elements seem to dance together.
道德經第十一章 虛中章
_Thirty spokes converge on a single hub,but it is in the space where there is nothing,that the usefulness of the cart lies. 三十輻共一轂，當其無，有車之用。

Two Fits
First thing I need to deal with in American is open an bank account. My bank is BOA (Bank of American,which published first VISA card)Except coin and bill,checks was used very common here.BOA offers a lot of different graphic check to fit different kinds of customers.Such as national park, super man,Holly Kitty,Japan graphic .Let me realize there are so many peoples in American,and this is a real big market.They can do a lot different design to "fit" any one's style.
And another "fit" is I found the size of ATM reception is as same as bill,so you could really organize your wallet very well.I think this is good example about the design should be considered the whole scenario.
So they are two fits with different ways.
