秉持朝陽精神 齊心共創輝煌—創辦人/董事長楊天生28周年校慶講話

很高興又是一年一度的校慶，本人藉這個場合來跟各位分享一些心得感想：今年是朝陽創校28年，回顧過去創校的歷程，從草創初期的篳路藍縷，到今日的巍峨壯麗，這一路走來，點滴在心頭！

有句詩是這麼說的：「須知少時凌雲志，曾許人間第一流」，意思是必須記住在少年時代立下的凌雲壯志，當時還曾許諾過要做出人世間第一流的成績。拿這句來比喻個人創辦朝陽的初心很是貼切，從辦學第一天起，即秉持前瞻藍圖與務實作為，逐步奠基永續經營，致力將這所學校打造為一流學府，經過這20幾年來挹注經費及資源，且有賴歷屆優秀校長與行政團隊的眾志成城，造就了朝陽許多佳績，並培養了無數優秀學子，我相信，現在的成就絕非是終點，在各位同仁的齊心努力之下，還能贏得更多成果與榮耀！

近期因為疫情因素，教育志業面臨了嚴峻考驗，然而，著名作家雨果曾經說過：「在逆境裡比在順境裡更能堅強不屈」，這也正是天生希望朝陽教職同仁與同學可以擁有之特質，這波疫情，有人看到悲觀與衰退，也有人從中發掘新機和商機，可見在環境的壓力之下，「窮則變、變則通」是適者生存的唯一法門，不要畫地自限、限縮自我成長，請記得：「順境是激勵，逆境是磨礪」，在困難的雕琢之下不畏前行，逆風飛翔才能飛得又高又遠，另闢蹊徑、不為傳統所侷限，方可尋找出下一個榮光所在！

Hello Everyone!

I am grateful that the time for the school anniversary has come again. This year marks the 28th anniversary of Chaoyang. Looking back on the journey, from tough early days to glorious achievements of Chaoyang, reminds me of the ambition I once had, and I am still holding it today.

Remember your ambition when you were young and your promise to become the best. That is my original intention when establishing Chaoyang. Since the first day, I have laid the foundation pragmatically, step by step, pledging to make Chaoyang a first-class institution. Putting together all possible efforts, resources, and the endeavor of former excellent presidents and faculty, today, I am proud to see the brilliance of Chaoyang. That is not the end, and we will achieve further success if we work hard and stay together.
