Taiwan Can Achieve More,
But It Takes Bilingualism
台灣可成就更高 但需要「雙語國力」
《作者從事與雙語教育相關的工作已斷斷續續30餘年。雙語已成國策，那就身體力行，開始用雙語發表意見吧。歡迎讀者對此形式提供您的意見及指教》
Among all sustaining forces, what Taiwan lacks most is the force of language. When people talk about a country’s competitiveness, most likely the main benchmarks are the military force, wealth force, technology force or even cultural force. The concept of“Force of Language”rarely came into mind. But in fact, linguistic capability is one of the key factors that can make or break a country in the long run , if not in the short.
在所有的可持續力量中，台灣最缺的就是語言的力量。當人們談論國家的競爭力時，通常主要的標竿都是軍事力量、財富力量、技術力量，甚至文化力量，而想都想不到「語言力量」這回事。但事實上，語言表達的能力，遲早也將是國家成敗的關鍵要素之一。
Examples are plenty. Take the tiny country of Singapore as a sample. Its existence and survival rests upon its capacity in applying and managing multi-lingual resources. Without that force of language, it can’t possibly thrive in a geographical setting as complex as this – with Malaysia on the north, Indonesia on the South-West, India to the West, and, particularly, the landmass of China up north. Geography is both a blessing and a curse to the country of Singapore, but its multi-linguistic capacity is a pure blessing. Without it, Singapore would still have been a trading center in that region and there is no way for it to have become one of the worldwide financial centers as today.
例子不勝枚舉，小小的新加坡就是一個樣本。它的生存，基於它運用、管理多重語言資源的氣度和能力。若缺少了這種「語言國力」，新加坡不可能在如此複雜的地理環境下茁壯 – 北有馬來西亞，西南有印度尼西亞，西有印度，尤其遠遠的北方還有中國這樣一塊大陸。地緣對新加坡這個國家既是祝福也是詛咒，但其多語能量則是百分之百的祝福。若非掌握語言國力，新加坡或許還能成為區域的貿易中心，但沒有可能變成今日的世界金融中心之一。
Hong Kong, in the past tense, also benefited tremendously from its bilingualism. By comparison, the mighty city of Shanghai in China will never replace the economic role Hong Kong used to play for China. I remember a sharp comment made by the past Premier of Singapore, Mr. Lee Kuan Yew. Many years ago when visiting Taiwan, he was asked this question by a reporter : “Can you foresee Shanghai replacing Hong Kong one day“? “Never!”was Lee’s reply. “Why?” Here comes the issue of the force of language, “Because I simply can’t see that the Shanghainese can speak better English than the Hong Kong people”. End of discussion.
香港在過去，也大大得利於它的雙語能力。相較之下，中國上海這個巨型城市，永遠也無法取代過去香港對中國的經濟角色。我猶記得新加坡前總理李光耀的一針見血評論。多年前在造訪台灣時，記者問他：「你能預見上海有一天取代香港嗎」？「絕不可能！」李光耀回答。「為什麼呢」？這裡就看出語言的力量了，「因為我根本看不到上海人的英文能力有超過香港人的一天」。討論就此結束。
Taiwan is good at technology as well as in many other aspects. It produces over 50% of the high-end semiconductor chips for the world’s high-end industrial and military uses, and it also designs at least 25% of the chips for world’s daily electronic devices. Which means, should Taiwan’s economic activities be disrupted by a hostile party , or even worse, should the island country fall under a hostile party’s control, as a consequence, the entire world would be affected severely, even to the point of functionally inoperative.
台灣在科技上很行，其他方面也不錯。在世界的高端工業及軍事應用中，台灣生產的高端半導體晶片佔比超過50%。在日常生活的電子設備上，台灣設計的晶片也至少佔比25%。這意味著，若台灣的經濟活動被某個敵意方擾亂，或在更糟情況下台灣這個島嶼國家落入敵意方的控制，後果將嚴重波及整個世界，甚至導致世界在功能上無法運作。
On top of that, Taiwan is ingenious in meeting unconventional demands for outlandish components. The most apparent case would be that of the birth of Tesla. When Elon Musk couldn’t get designers and factories from other parts of the world to risk making his non-heard-of components, he came to Taiwan and found willing and capable suppliers. Without the ingenuity of Taiwan’s able engineers, Tesla’s EV could have been delayed for many more years and might even have missed its first-to-market timing.
此外，台灣在非傳統、奇思妙想的零組件領域也很高明。最顯著的例子就是特斯拉的誕生。當伊隆馬斯克在世界其他地方碰壁、沒有工廠和設計師願意為他冒險製造那些聽都沒聽過的零組件的時候，他來到台灣找到了出路和供應商。沒有台灣的這份高明和工程師，特斯拉的電動車可能延誤多年，甚至失去市場首發的時機。
In the political arena, Taiwan has been firmly placed in the first tier among countries of democracy. To be fair, Taiwanese citizens still stand eager for eliminating the residual, inherited authoritarian elements in its political system; however, from a global standpoint, the mere presence of this remaining endeavor, by itself, proves that Taiwan has already passed the point of no return of an evolving democratic country.
在政治競技場，台灣已經被牢牢放在了民主國家的前列。但還是得公平地說，台灣公民還在熱切得期待把自己政治體制中那些殘留的、繼承來的威權成份加以剷除。然而從全球眼光來看，這種熱切現象的本身，就足以證明台灣作為一個民主還在演化的國家，在道路上已經沒有回頭餘地了。
In any aspect, Taiwan should have received a much higher level of acknowledgement from the international community than what it gets now. It makes people wonder why it didn’t.
無論哪個角度，台灣都應該得到比現在更高的國際認可和關注。這讓人感到奇怪，為什麼不是這樣呢？
Sure, one can blame the “Cut-Taiwan-off-the-World” program that the neighboring CCP (Chinese Communist Party) exercised. But blaming is not productive, not in everyday life nor in politics. We need self-assertive solutions much more than airing complaints.
當然，我們可以歸咎於中共的「切斷台灣的世界聯繫」招數。但是，歸咎往往是不起積極作用的，在生活中如此，在政治上也一樣。自我斷然提出解決方案，遠比時時抱怨要重要的多。
Citizens in Taiwan need to be able to speak out for Taiwan, not waiting for others to speak for it. To speak out to the world, you need languages! Presently, over 90% of the citizens on this island write and speak in just one language : the written Mandarin Character and the spoken Mandarin plus dialects.
台灣公民有必要自己為台灣發聲，而不是只等待第三方替台灣發聲。既然要自己對世界發聲，那就需要語言（國力）！當前，90%的台灣公民只會用單一的語種書寫和表達：書面的華文系方塊字，和華語加上數種方言。
This causes consequences in two-folds. On the political side, when Taiwan citizens shout in Mandarin, only people who understand Mandarin in other parts of the world can know what Taiwan is shouting for. Sadly, 96% of those who understand are under the firewall enclosure in China. Furthermore, Taiwanese messages are being censored, twisted and manipulated by the CCP in order to prevent its subjects from hearing it.
這造成了雙重後果。在政治面，當台灣公民用華語呼喊時，世界上只有聽得懂華語的人知道台灣在呼喊什麼。遺憾的是，96%聽得懂華語的人被鎖在中國的防火牆內。更糟的是，中共為了防止其控制的人民聽懂，持續不斷得堵絕、扭曲、操弄來自台灣的訊息。
On the economy side, although the top-layer of the academics, businessmen and technical elites are all quite proficient with a second language, mostly English or Japanese, the majority of the able engineers and middle managers in Taiwan cannot communicate efficiently enough to bring out their personal or organizational potentials.
在經濟面，雖然頂端的學術工作者、企業家、技術精英都有不錯的外語能力，例如英文或日文，但是大多數的能幹工程師和中層管理者，還無法有效的通過外語溝通以展示他們自身或組織的真實潛力。
It’s such an obvious yet ignored national issue : Taiwan needs bilingualism for its political sustainability and economic prosperity. A thriving bilingualism in Taiwan can be achieved by flipping its mentality towards education, or by changing its attitudes towards “outsiders” and installing a more open-minded immigration policy.
如此明顯的國家級議題卻遭到忽視：台灣的政治可持續及經濟的繁榮，非需要「雙語國力」不可。若想如火如荼的推動雙語國力，有兩條路可走，一是翻轉其對教育之心態，或改變對「外來者」的態度、建立一套更開放的移民政策。
Either way, Taiwan must implement a bold and innovative approach to this “force of language” challenge. And that approach can start today. Are you ready? Yes, I meant YOU！
不論採哪一種方式，台灣對這「語言國力」的挑戰，必須實施一種既大膽又創新的路數。今天就可以開始，你準備好了嗎？沒錯，說的就是你！

Sama-Bajau - The Supernormal Tribe That Can Hold Breath For 13 Minutes 🇵🇭🇲🇾🇮🇩🇧🇳
Have you ever heard about someone who can hold his breath for 13 minutes under 70 meters deep water? Yes. it is true. There are some people who have this extraordinary breath-holding ability. And the name of this tribe is Sama-Bajau.
The name collectively refers to related people who usually call themselves the Sama or Samah; or are known by the exonyms Bajau. They usually refers to several Austronesian ethnic groups of Maritime Southeast Asia with their origins from the southern Philippines.
These people remain immersed in the water for several minutes without any diving equipment (underwater breathing apparatus). These people usually live a seaborne lifestyle and use small wooden sailing vessels such as the perahu, djenging, balutu, lepa, pilang and vinta.
Sama-Bajau have sometimes been called the "Sea Gypsies". The Sama-Bajau tribe people are traditionally from the many islands of the Sulu Archipelago in the Philippines, coastal areas of Mindanao, northern and eastern Borneo, the Celebes, and throughout eastern Indonesian islands.
Some Sama-Bajau groups native to Sabah (Sabah is a state of Malaysia located on the northern portion of Borneo Island) are also known for their traditional horse culture. British administrators in Sabah classified the Sama-Bajau as "Bajau" and labelled them as such in their birth certificates. Thus the Sama-Bajau in Malaysia may sometimes self-identify as "Bajau" or even "Malay" for political reasons.
Total Population 1.1 million worldwide:
- Philippines: 470,000
- Malaysia: 436,000
- Indonesia: 345,000
- Brunei: 12,000
The Bajau have been a nomadic, seafaring people for most of their history. Many Bajau still practice that same lifestyle to this day, which explains why they are still commonly called "sea gypsies." They chart particularly the waters of the Sulu Sea, off the southwestern coast of the Philippines, and the various seas that surround the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, and Brunei Darussalam.
These are among the most dangerous waters in the world with sporadic policing at best and a very high incidence of open piracy. Yet these Bajau claim never to have wielded weapons — preferring to simply flee from potential attack. They come ashore only to bury the deceased and to live temporarily while making new boats.
Of course the seafaring Bajau make their living from fishing. Those who have abandoned that lifestyle have become farmers and cattle rearers, earning them the local nickname, "cowboys of the east." Indeed their equine skills are well known in this part of the world, and are always to be found displayed in Bajau ceremonial events. Still other Bajau live a lifestyle between nomadic and sedentary, housed in villages on the water, but not far from land.
Freediving associated with these people life on the sea appear to have endowed the Bajau with several genetic adaptations to facilitate their lifestyle. After a long research on them, scientists claim that they have this amazing breath-holding ability because of the changes in genes.
The spleens of these people have become quite large with time. A recent study showed that Bajau spleens are about 50 per cent larger than normal people which letting them store more haemoglobin-rich blood, which is expelled into the bloodstream when the spleen contracts at depth, allowing breath-holding dives of longer duration.
The boat-dwelling Sama-Bajau see themselves as non-aggressive people. They kept close to the shore by erecting houses on stilts, and travelled using lepa, handmade boats which many lived in. These people dive in the sea every day in search of food. Usually they go down to 70 meters in the sea without oxygen. At that depth, they can walk or swim for 13 minutes in one breath. These divers spend 60 percent of their daily activities inside the sea.

Hi it’s Miley!!まいりです！
今日の動画は日本語が苦手な私にとって少し難しかったので、英語でやらせて頂きました。
すみません！
今日の動画では私のゼミの内容などについて話しています。
まとめると。。
私は今早稲田大学の政治経済学部の国際政治経済学科で比較政治学をメインに学んでます。
高校の時から持続可能性、環境問題に興味があって、留学先もそれを学ぶ目的でバリ島のGreen Schoolにいきました。そういったバックグラウンドもあり、今はSDGs 持続可能な開発目標 を様々の国の制度、政治体制、歴史、文化、などの面で比較をし、分析しています。東ヨーロッパはおもしろい政治体制、歴史、文化があるため、そこのエリアを重点的にみていきました！
その中でもSDGsの達成度が大幅に違ったのがチェコとブルガリアでした。今年はその二つの国を比較しました。チェコはEUの中でもとてもSDGsのランクが高いのに比べて、ブルガリアはほとんど最下位。それはなぜなのか？
今回の動画内ではそれをもう少し詳しく説明しています。
ほとんど半年しかかけて調べてはないので、断言はできない理由ですが、私なりにまとめてみました。
比較政治学は本当に面白い分野で調べれば調べるほど面白くなってくる分野です。ニュースの理解度が深まったり、どうしてこの国は発展してて、どうしてこの国は発展しないか、などは比較政治学で少し正解が見つかります！
I hope you enjoy today's video!
I wasn't able to talk in Japanese today but yay for yall english speakers :)
Hope you enjoyed!!
Also I only worked on this stuff this semester so I had to come up with something & a conclusion at the end of the semester so its not a very comprehensive conclusion so don’t take everything I say as 100% information!

SOOJUD = SUJUD
Based on true story liku kehidupan kami 2 saudara .. kadang2 kita lupa siapa kita ... salam sayang pada faham ... apa yang menjadi junjungan ? apa yang terlafaz ? kami akan menjawab segalanya ..
Setiap perjuangan dipandang serong ... satu keburukkan menutup semua kebaikan ... dunia akhir zaman kuasa fitnah berleluasa ... Mereka seru untuk berperang .. kini aku selangkah membuka tirai .. jangan jadi badut "joker" penuh kejahilan .. REZEKI ITU SEMUANYA DARI ALLAH SWT . Disstrack aku ? belom tentu menutup periok nasik aku . Biar orang balas dengan keburukkan asal kita x balas benda yang sama kepada mereka . Setiap nasihat dibalas cacian , sabar ada hadnya ... not to late to realize my brother .
Dari tanah kita diciptakan , kepada tanah kita kembali .. takkan selamanya mendongak , satu hari kau akan tunduk dan sujud kepada Nya !!! Cukup bijak mengenali Aku ? dah jumpa siapa Aku ? GOODLUCK from HANACARAKA ...
Salam tiga kosong angka penuh makna !!!
Carilah aku kedalam aku

INTRODUCTION TO FORMATION YAYASAN PILLAR
The beginning was word and the word is a message of care for deserving ummah and our country.
Datin Aisah Mahmud started charity activities when she was in college. The scope of her charitable activities expended enormously when she was chosen by Sir Geldof, an International philanthropist to manage and chair “Sport Aid 88” for Malaysia.
She was asked by UNICEF to see if she could extend help to the poor families in Bangladesh, Datin Aisah Mahmud and her young son Abdul Aziz bin Tan Sri Adenan aged 13, travelled to Bangladesh where she met and sponsored 5 families, but was unfortunately caught in the coup d’état, and were rescued out of Dhaka.
In Indonesia, Datin Aisah Mahmud was approached by Demak population to help build a school for young poor children. With help from her family members, Datin Aisah Mahmud raised fund to buy a piece of land and built a school for them. Now 106 young children from poor families have a place they can call their school.
