A relatively less experienced academic friend of mine who is teaching at a school that does not seem to get all the due blessing as we thought. I quote his/her words:
"I don't have power; I don't have a position; I don't have administrative ambition; I don't have anyone to count on; and I haven't got another university to go to.
What I do have, and do not want to be taken away however, is the last glimpse of dignity, and even lesser, that little tiny integrity remained."
That was after I reminded him/her of how being trapped in office politics will harm one's academic career. I used my own experience as an example.
突然想到前天夜間新聞，DPP 中常會(?)裡，大夥興奮地討論某位立委，著藍色緊身褲、吊單槓之創舉。媒體與現場的DPP要員，似乎很陶醉之時，鏡頭帶過幾次，只有一位較年輕的與會者(段宜康)，頭都不抬，默默閱讀桌上資料。我，一位失聯20年、迄今未投過任何一票的前KMT成員，不該會是唯一注意到這個畫面的人吧！

About Me
- jsw12011958
- Busy as I am, little accomplished as I was told, I am walking down this long and winding road for decades. I wish to spend time on building a small corner for recording my simple and sometimes naive ideas in economics, which has attracted me since the early 1980s. I admit, with regret, that my posting will be in English as well as Chinese.
