加油，祝您的核能夢早日實現。

Reflections on my MIT PhD Qualifying Exam -A Kaleidoscope of Emotions Warning: This is a long read. My monk-mode journey is a swirling mess of delusions and emotions. Expect chaos and confusion ahead. On the morning of Lunar New Year's Eve, the Year of the Rabbit, I stood before a whiteboard, facing four professors firing rapid questions at me. I was in the midst of the most grueling exam of my life-the PhD qualifying exam in MIT’s Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering. By high noon, the familiar “Gryffindor sword of MIT” from three years ago struck me once again, with 99% of my Horcruxes vanishing in a blink. The Year of the Dragon began with my life bar flashing red, teetering on the edge. A committee of four professors administers the exam, and second-year students have two chances to pass it to continue pursuing their Ph.D. Before that, students must excel in about eight courses in the first year to be qualified to take the qualifying exam. Each semester, with four courses, the sheer volume of assignments and the intensity of knowledge imparted far exceeded anything I had previously encountered. Especially when faced with unfamiliar material, the already high-pressure learning and research environment became even more overwhelming. After meeting the academic performance threshold, second-year students face a two-hour oral exam in total, standing alone at a whiteboard while fielding questions that span personal research and theoretical knowledge. Professors may ask unpredictable questions from lectures and textbooks, requiring students to derive formulas on the spot or use mathematical reasoning to explain physical phenomena. It’s common to see the whiteboard filled and erased again with equations and diagrams. Beyond that, students must defend their logic, the significance of their research, and even demonstrate how they can apply their knowledge across different fields. If just one professor anonymously dissents, the student fails. Failing twice means expulsion, with only a master’s degree as consolation. Each cohort has around 20 new Ph.D. students, but there are always a few who don’t make it through. This year alone, I've heard that at least six of my peers have already left. Over the past two decades, I became only the fifth Taiwanese student admitted to the Ph.D. program in Nuclear Engineering at MIT. During that time, apart from myself, only two others passed the qualifying exam. Despite my passion for engineering and science, a deep-seated inferiority complex shadowed me, rooted in my struggles with math. From aptitude tests in middle and high school to nearly every major exam, my math scores were always the lowest. Furthermore, the sting of scoring just 11 out of 15 on Taiwan’s university entrance exam in math (equivalent to roughly 600 out of 800 on the SAT Math) has long crippled my self-esteem. With such a poor math foundation, how could I dream of pursuing engineering? Could I belong at MIT, this world-renowned academic pinnacle? Where did I even find the courage to enroll? Deep within, the voice that had driven me over a decade ago-"better to be a tail among lions than a head among chickens"-still echoed, urging me to place myself in an environment where everyone was more capable, pushing me to grow. But this time, it wasn’t just about my personal growth. In a niche field with very few people like nuclear engineering, individual performance often carries the weight of the entire community. Unlike in popular fields, where a single success or failure hardly impacts the reputation of a school or even a country. Taiwan’s nuclear education had dwindled to a fragile state, with only National Tsing Hua University barely keeping the program alive. In my graduating class, I was the sole student to complete the nuclear engineering track. I recall taking certain courses alongside graduate students because senior professors were on the verge of retirement, and without new faculty or student interest, these subjects might fade into history. One such course, "Applied Nuclear Physics," had only seven students, and I was the lone undergraduate from the department. There was a profound, almost melancholic sense of finality in those moments-the feeling of standing at the end of an era. How could I not be shaken by the weight of that solitude, the flickering light of a field on the verge of extinction? At that time, I sought guidance from many, hoping to either find clarity in my choice or discover another path. What remains etched in my memory are the words of my mentors, a mix of caution and encouragement. “Are you sure you can handle it?” they asked. In Taiwan, the field of nuclear engineering had long since faded from its former glory, now teetering on the edge of extinction. Resources were scarce, and the future looked grim under the weight of political and public opposition. Staying in Taiwan meant few prospects ahead. “If you're truly determined to pursue nuclear engineering, you must go abroad," they said. "Being the only one also means being the best. And if you’re going to do this, you must aim for the very best programs in the world. Don’t fear loneliness in your ideals; when you reach the top, you’ll find others who share your vision. But remember, in such a small field, your success or failure won't just be personal. You'll be carrying the reputation of Tsing Hua, the professors who recommended you, and all of Taiwan's nuclear engineering community. You'll also bear the hopes of those younger students who, like you, dream of one day studying abroad to achieve further.” Studying nuclear engineering, a field that not only runs counter to my homeland’s policies but is also shunned by public sentiment, placed immense pressure on my heart. At National Tsing Hua University, I was using up precious resources, and the guilt from this contradiction made me constantly question my path. Had my courage to be disliked crossed the line into stubborn self-destruction? Failing the qualifying exam would not only be a personal setback but a letdown to all those who supported me-mentors, family, and the societal resources invested in me. The thought of this debt felt crushing. What should have been a moment of triumph-a chance to prove myself-became an oppressive burden laden with fear and self-doubt. Without the blessing of my homeland, I carried a sense of loneliness, feeling misunderstood and exiled from my roots. I found myself asking: Do I really need to be so out of step with the world around me? Am I choosing this difficult path just to suffer in the end? Faced with the potential to harm both myself and others, I had never been so afraid of failure. On the quest for personal achievement, I had never been so mindful of its impact on others. Yet, it is precisely fear that offers a chance for bravery; it is a responsibility that starts to give life ponderance. Before me lay two diverging paths: one leading to the comfort of safety, promising ease but certain regret in the years to come; the other, a grueling challenge with the risk of ultimate defeat. Fueled by youthful vitality perhaps, I chose to confront the challenge head-on, fully committing to this high-stakes gamble. After barely meeting the academic threshold in my first year, I earned the right to take the qualifying exam. But despite everything, I still wasn’t prepared enough. I failed at the first attempt this February. The reason was made painfully clear-they didn’t think I was worth pursuing a PhD at MIT. I was given an ultimatum: a final chance to retake in three months. Though I masked my disappointment with a forced smile and a show of determination, inside, the crushing weight of failure gave rise to overwhelming fear and anxiety. Three years had passed since I left home. I had promised to go back to Taiwan this summer to be with my family, but as the date drew closer, I didn’t know if I’d be booking a one-way ticket or a round trip. My parents hadn’t visited me in the U.S. yet, always saying, "Let’s wait until you’ve truly earned the right to stay there." During our daily video calls, they would sometimes tease, "You’ve got enough tea to last well beyond graduation, and all those unnecessary decorations in your room-imagine the hassle of packing everything up! You can barely manage your affairs, yet you’ve taken on leadership roles in the Taiwanese student association and your dorm. How embarrassing will it be if you don’t pass?" But in moments of sincerity, they’d offer comfort: "You’ve worked so hard, and we’re so proud of you. But your health is paramount. If you’re too tired, just come home. Your room and bed are always ready." Hearing their words, a wave of emotion surged. At that moment, my memory flashed back to the time when I was preparing for entrance exams of private middle schools, only to find that I couldn’t even pass the entry test for a cram school. Yet, my parents showed no hint of blame or disappointment. All they asked was that I "learn happily." The indulgence from those closest to me became the most piercing form of motivation. Now, with the feeling that I'm about to let everyone down, I find that I no longer have the time, nor the right, to express any negative emotions. The only thing allowed is relentless positivity, pressing me to the edge of collapse. (continue in the following reply)

麻省理工學院博士班資格考心得--五蘊皆不空 警告: 文極長，慎入貧僧修道之五蘊妄念紛飛，心懷罣礙，全是恐怖，顛倒夢想，不知所云。 兔年除夕早上，我站在白板前面對四位教授的即時問答，進行著我人生中最具挑戰性的考試--麻省理工學院核工系的博士班資格考。午時三刻，三年前熟悉的「MIT葛萊芬多寶劍」再次將我斬得我魂飛魄散，99％的分靈體瞬時灰飛煙滅。龍年開局，就殘血亮紅燈。 該考試由四位教授組成委員會，二年級的學生有兩次機會，唯有通過才能繼續攻讀博士學位。在那之前，必須在第一年完成約八門課的學業，並取得足夠優異的成績，才有「資格」考資格考。每一學期四門課，作業量之多和知識灌輸的密度遠超我以往的學習經驗。尤其遇上以前沒學過的內容，讓本就高壓的學習和研究環境更難以負荷。 學業成績門檻通過後，在二年級將面臨總共兩小時站在白板前的口試，內容涵蓋個人研究計畫和理論知識。教授們會隨機抽考諸多課堂和書本內容，要求現場推導公式，或用數學解釋物理現象。白板上不停寫滿再擦掉的方程式和圖表都是常態。此外，更會批判性地考驗學生邏輯、研究內容、影響力，甚至跨領域的靈活應用題。只要一位教授匿名反對便不及格，兩次沒過就退學，頂多美其名拿個碩士畢業。每屆大約有二十餘位博士新生，歷年都有人無法順利通過。這屆已聽聞至少有六位同學走了。 近二十多年來，我是第五位錄取麻省理工核工系博士班的台灣人。期間除我之外，僅有兩位通過資格考。這樣的身份既是榮耀，也是重擔。回想起當時被錄取的那一刻，我本應為此感到自信驕傲，反倒是強烈的自卑感刺上心頭。我雖然懷有對工程和科學的興趣與理想，但數學上的弱點成了揮之不去的心結。從國中、高中的性向測驗，到幾乎每次段考，數理成績總是最低分的項目。學測數學僅有11級分的烙印，更是長期禁錮著我的自信心。數學不好，憑什麼懷抱工科的夢想？麻省理工學院，這所全球頂尖的學術聖殿，真有我的立足之地嗎？我哪來的勇氣就讀？ 內心深處，那十多年前「寧為牛後，不為雞首」的聲音不斷催促著我：去往身旁所有人都比自己厲害的環境中，快速提升自己。但這次，已不再僅能考慮自我。身處冷門領域，個人表現代表全體的效應往往會被放大。不像其他熱門科系高手雲集，個人勝敗難以影響母校系甚至故鄉名譽。如今，全台灣僅剩清華大學勉強維持核工教育，同屆大學部甚至只有我一個念完核工課程。回想起有些課，我不得不提前和研究生們一起上，因為老教授即將退休，再無新血師資加入，又沒學生有修課意願，這些課程可能就此成為歷史。比如，當我走進「應用原子核物理」這門課時，全班只有七個人，而我是唯一的系上大學部。風中殘燭般的末代孤寂，怎能不動搖內心？ 當時我多方請教，盼望堅定選擇或另尋他路。記憶猶新的是師長們的告誡，既有勸退，也有激勵進取的含義：「你確定念得起？」小池難養大魚，況且台灣的核工界，早已不復數十年前的輝煌，近乎消亡殆盡。現今人才資源都匱乏，又受政治和民意打壓，留在台灣難有未來。如果你真要讀核工，那就要出國。況且唯一，就代表第一，要就要拼去全球最好的校系。不用擔心你的理想孤單，走到頂端，就會有志同道合者出現。但是，冷門領域的圈子太小，你承擔的不僅是個人成敗，而是代表清華乃至台灣核工師生的名譽，包含推薦你的教授，和那些將來可能和你一樣，夢想著出國深造的學弟妹們！ 在家鄉學習與政策背道而馳、甚至飽受民怨被唾棄的核工專業，心裡本就承受著不小壓力。更何況在清華大學又消耗著寶貴的資源，這些矛盾帶來的罪惡感再再質疑自己的志向。被討厭的勇氣是否過了頭，變成了自取滅亡的一意孤行。要是資格考沒過而被退學，彷彿便辜負多年來的自己，還會讓那些貴人、親人，和社會資源的期待與付出化為我再也還不起的債，很可能從此身心俱疲、一蹶不振。本應金榜題名的喜悅，竟轉變成了畏畏縮縮、患得患失。似乎得不到家鄉的祝福，我懷著不被理解的孤獨與被迫離鄉的無奈，問自己：真的要如此不合群，甚至自討苦吃嗎？ 面對這些潛在害人害己的後果，我從未如此害怕失敗；追尋個人成就的路途上，也從未有此顧及他人的牽掛。但想了想，恰恰正是因為害怕，才有機會勇敢；有了牽掛，生命才開始擁有份量。在我面前展開的是兩條分岔的道路，一是在選擇安逸，但多年後一定惋惜的不甘，二是拼盡全力，最終可能大敗的落寞。或許仗著年輕吧，終究還是直面挑戰。本著和申請大學時同樣的初衷籌碼，我繼續全押了這場左右人生命運的豪賭。 好不容易勉強通過第一年繁重課業的成績門檻，有了資格參加資格考。但是，準備仍然不足。第一次在新年時我沒考過，理由明說我的水準還不夠格在MIT繼續攻讀博士。我被下達最後通牒，三個月後是最後一次重考的機會。當時只能裝出再接再厲的強顏歡笑，內心的挫敗感卻頻頻催生出恐懼和焦慮。 離家三年了，早說好今年暑假要回台灣和家人相聚，我卻不知道，機票將買的是單程，還是來回票。爸爸媽媽也沒來美國看我過，他們總說：「等你真有資格繼續讀再說吧！」每天的視訊裡，有時也會半開玩笑的調侃我：「帶那麼多到畢業也喝不完的茶葉，還有那房間裡吃飽太閒的佈置，到時候要收拾該有多麻煩；都自身難保，還不自量力去當台灣學生會和宿舍的幹部，要是沒過該有多丟臉？」不過，在認真聊的時候，卻會安慰道：「辛苦你了，你真的已經很棒，但身體顧好最重要。累了，就回家，房間和床一直都有準備好。」 聽到這話，眼窩一陣酸軟。瞬間，記憶又回到了當年我準備考衛道私中時，連補習班都考不進，而爸媽卻毫無責怪和失望的表情，反倒只要我「快樂學習就好」的場景浮現眼前。至親之人的縱容反而是最錐心的鞭策。如今，感覺就快要辜負一切，我卻沒有時間，也沒有資格去抱怨任何負面情緒。只被容許不近人情的積極，壓得我心喘，幾近崩潰。 在三個月的期限裡強撐著最後一搏，畢竟，這應該是我人生最後一次左右命運的大考試。我把課本理論再深入研讀地更加透徹，大量閱讀文獻以尋求靈感，並且不斷請教實驗室的夥伴、教授和學長姐們的指導與解惑，再到撰寫出全新的研究計畫書，以及進行一次次的模擬考。簡而言之，我抱著一定要爬起來的心態，傾盡全力超越自我，無論是靠自身還是向外尋求幫助。這段時間，我真正領悟到一位貴人般的學姊曾分享的衡量進步之道：「覺得多久前的自己是個笨蛋？一年？半年？這個周期越短越好，因為這意味著你正在快速更新自己，成長越快。」 入學至今，我都一再感受到學習理解速度和研究能力，對比同儕，更遑論師長的望塵莫及。他們的時間似乎比我還有價值，意味著我休息偷懶的機會成本遠高於他們。想追上天才，那只要夠勤奮就有機會吧？想不到，身旁卻盡是比我更聰明還更努力、對自己更狠的教授和同學們。只要一和別人有競爭心態，就會有無論資質和勤勞都比不過的無力感。 不過，在這種自身墊底又高壓的環境中，對自我成長卻有巨大的推動力。每隔一段時間，便能感覺勝過從前自己，彷彿一次次浴火重生。準備資格考的過程讓我明白：以前就是因為好勝心，比不上別人才會產生自卑。如今已經釋懷，很難再有爭輸贏被擊敗的挫折難受。就算周圍都是比自己優秀的人，我卻照樣能感到自信。這種自信心來源於持續進步的信念，而非透過擊敗他人。我發現，自強不息，比依賴競爭取得的自信更加喜悅和持久。 ．．．

恭喜又通過一個里程碑了!

中秋佳節，千里共嬋娟。身在地球的另一端，仍天涯共此時。我的家鄉台灣，距離美國波士頓有7800 英里。可離家的不是距離，而是流逝的時光；流逝的不是時光，而是從前的故人和自我。 During the Mid-Autumn Festival, even though I’m on the other side of the Earth, we still share the same full moon at this moment. My hometown, Taiwan, is 7,800 miles away from Boston, USA. But the real distance is not measured by miles; it is the time that has slipped away. And what has truly faded is not just time, but the people and the self I once knew. 中華民國壹佰壹拾參年甲辰中秋 高熵狂人 記於美國麻省理工學院 09/2024 Hyperentropist@ Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA

祝您能在攻讀PhD的路上取得好成績。

鄧雨賢先生(1906~1944)有四大著名歌曲:四季紅、月夜愁、望春風、雨夜花，合稱為「四月望雨」，這些歌曲算是台灣近代流行音樂的開端，這些歌曲都是以台語作詞，可謂「台語民謠中的經典」。

作詞者很好的將夏天以易理解又有深度的文字表達出來，讓人想起童年時對於「夏天」的印象，再加上優美的旋律，讓我們得以想像夏天的種種美景，謝謝作者帶給我們這麼好的作品

好聽欸

在想「大同」一詞，是不是翻譯成the most harmonious and peaceful world之類的，已避免有心人士把Great Unity詮釋成統一？

浩揚同學，我又看哭了，好感動啊！ th-cam.com/video/rWc-CUe4MAw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Gzwo0lepoj80C3YB

能不能问一下那里有谱啊？,謝謝
