Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology recently invited Mr. Zhi-Yang Dai, an information engineering and entrepreneurial expert, to come to the school to give a speech in its Masters’ Talks of General Education, entitled "Talents in the Future World." From the perspective of specialist in information technology, Mr. Zhi-Yang Dai reminded students that the standard life style of getting into a good school to find a good job has become obsolete. What the future world needs is a talented person who can create its own value and a particular person who clearly grasps his or her own position and goals. Life will be not be given any predetermined track; rather, it will more like an exploration in the wilderness.

Mr. Dai said that the future world is closely related to science and technology. When the world changes structurally, writers, philosophers, and artists are the first to respond to it, because they are the most sensitive people to the world. Directors present their narratives to the masses through visualization, while scientists and engineers concretely realize the ideas in the film before entrepreneurs commercialize the concrete results of the scientists. Following this thread, Mr. Zhi-Yang Dai shared his latest business venture with his classmates: Self Token, together with a film called Saint Thief, which he is currently co-producing with Director Jia-Kie Hsu to represent the realities of the emerging industry, hoping that they can bring changes to the future.

Director Dai further stated that the types of people in the workplace can be divided into four types: simple workers, useful workers, talented workers, and great workers. The first two types are employed and can be replaceable. Talented workers can create their own value, not to be priced by the market; great workers are those who have the ability to position themselves. The goal of our education should be to cultivate talented and great workers!
【Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology held the first "Master's Talks on General Education".]
President Deng-Mao Lu of Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology, said that the Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology has always attached importance to general education. "Masters’ Talks on General Education” has been held for many years. In addition to the established general education courses, all the teachers and students of the school have a comprehensive topic on general education to get more cognitive and learning opportunities. He hoped that by listening to the unique experience of the masters in practice, students can be exposed to things that they cannot learn in class. President Lu also praised Mr. Dai for his great eloquence. Mr. Dai has many insights in the new industry, which can give teachers and students the opportunity to share the practical experience and ideas related to the new industry. President Lu also showed his gratitude to Mr. Dai for willing to share his expectations and depictions of future talents, despite his busy schedule.
