Invincible 83

不久前才來開演唱會的Backstreet Boys是我很喜歡的團體之一
聽他們的歌已經有很多年的時間了
不管是快歌或是抒情歌BSB唱的都好聽
這首Helpless When She Smiles是首抒情歌曲

"Daffodils" (1804) 
I WANDER'D lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. 

【聯合報╱記者陳智華／台北報導】 
一項針對95學年度大學應屆畢業生調查顯示，有四成四的人就業或準備就業，兩成八繼續進修，有八、九成認為已具備職場上需要的團隊合作能力和抗壓性，但一半以上的人認為自己不具備職場需要的外語能力。

台師大教育評鑑與發展研究中心受教育部委託，94學年度起每年針對大學應屆畢業生進行問卷調查，還包括博碩士生，以及一年以後的追蹤報告，95學年度大學畢業生共有26萬8千多人，問卷回收率七成五。

這份調查顯示，就業或準備就業的大學畢業生有四成四，兩成八繼續進修，兩成服兵役，也有2.2%的人不打算工作。

就業或準備就業畢業生中，就讀的學門以家政的比率最高，占六成六，其次是商業及管理，約六成，大眾傳播和觀光服務都有五成；繼續進修以自然科學比率最高，有近六成。

對於畢業生自評職場所需的能力方面，認為自己具備或非常具備職場所需的外語能力，只有四成五，半數的人都沒有信心，認為自己沒有職場需要的外語能力。

是否擁有可幫助就業的專業證照或相關能力證明，也有四成二的人認為自己沒有這樣的證明，但有五成七的人則持肯定態度。

八成五的畢業生認為自己具備基礎電腦應用技能，可適應職場需要，只有一成五的人說自己沒有這種能力。

台師大教育評鑑與發展研究中心表示，95學年度大學應屆畢業生中，商業及管理學門人數最多，有6萬多人，占所有畢業生的兩成三，其次是工程學門的5萬7千多人，占約兩成二。

大多數的大學生畢業於私立校院，有七成七，私立技職校院最多，有13萬多人，占全部的五成；再來是私立一般大學院校，有7萬5千多人，占全體的兩成八，一般公立大學校院只有3萬6多人，占一成三。

這是我聽的第二首歌，歌名是Stand，歌詞很勵志，不錯聽～～


Stand You feel like a candle in a hurricane
Just like a picture with a broken frame
Alone and helpless
Like you've lost your fight
But you'll be alright
You'll be alright
Chorus:
Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you stand,
Then you stand
Life's like a novel
With the end ripped out
The edge of a canyon
With only one way down
Take what you're given before its gone
Start holding on, keep holding on
Chorus:
Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand,
Yeah then you stand.
Everytime you get up
And get back in the race
One more small piece of you
Starts to fall into place
Ooohhh
Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you stand,
Then you stand
Yeah then you stand.
Yeah then you stand.
Yeah baby
ohhhhhhhhh
ohhhhhhhhh
then you stand

這是一個美國的鄉村樂團，這首歌My Wish也是我在偶然中發現的，覺得歌詞很不錯，旋律也好聽喔～～

My Wish lyrics
I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,

But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.
I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.
But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.
This is my wish
I hope you know somebody loves you
May all your dreams stay big

今天看到新聞報導一位麻省理工教物理學的教授Walter Levin的創意教學，覺得相當有趣，所以我去找了相關的報導與他的教學影片，希望讓大家對這位教授的教學有更多的了解。他的教學方法很有創意，有別於一般傳統教學是老師在台上講解，他更用實際行動去將理論給「做」出來實驗給學生看。已經七十一歲的他在台上講解生動有趣，讓人看了還真的想讓人去上他的課呢！
