The powerful drive to acquire knowledge!
A wise man is always open to and looks for new ideas
By Jennifer Kung
The desire to persuit knowledge is for everybody. A wise man is always open to and looks for new ideas. One of the most precious human resource is the desire to improve. People can learn much by doing.
We are pleased to quote the following five short but meaningful ones:
***** It may be all right to be content with what you have; never with what you are. ---B. C. Forbes
***** "I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think." ---Socrates
***** It's not where you are today that counts. It's where you are headed. ---Arthur F. Lenehan
***** Dicovery consists of looking at the same thing as everyone else and thinking something different. ---Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
***** The man who does not read books has no advantage over the man who can't read them. ---Mark Twain
It's our pleasure to post a short story and quotation from "Speaker's Source Book" by Glenn Van Ekeren. *1
A young, devoted follower of Socrates pleaded with him to share the secret of acquired knowledge. Socrates willingly consented and led the young man to a river. "This is how," Socrates stated as he pushed the young man into the river, and then jumping in himself, he held the young man's head underwater. The young man struggled frantically to free himself, but Socrates held him tight and kept his head submerged.
Finally, after the young man scratched, clawed, and fought with every ounce of his being, he was able to break loose and emerge from the water. Socrates then asked him, "When you thought you were drowning, what one thing did you want most of all?"
Still grasping for breath, the young man exclaimed, "I wanted air!" Socrates smiled and then wisely commented, "When you want knowledge as much as you wanted air, then you will get it!" *2
Usually, change and growth will come at the time when we take a conscious step forward out of the anxiety and into activity. We are not a being to stand still. We are a being in the process of becoming. The more we enable us to become, the more we fulfill our true missions.

Prof. Chi-kwan Chen passed away
Many Tunghai University alumnus are morning for him!

Professor Chi-kwan Chen passed away peacefully on June 5, 2007. The following are some parts of introduction about him on Google.com. Any modification on them or richness about his achievements that our readers and his family may extend to WBTI will highly be appreciated:
[[[ Chen Chi-kwan fused tradition and modernism to change the face of Chinese painting.
At National Central University's commencement ceremony last year, a raft of fresh-faced young scholars took their first steps into the world, but all eyes were fixed on an unconventional graduate. With cane in hand and a childlike grin, 83-year-old architect and artist Chen Chi-kwan was conferred an honorary doctorate from his transposed alma mater.
Unable to afford the Harvard tuition, Chen was thrilled when Gropius invited him to work at his firm. Chen seized the golden opportunity and set out to prove to Gropius that he made the right decision. A year later, with Gropius' recommendation, Chen began teaching architectural design at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
In 1954, Chen received an invitation from I.M. Pei in New York to participate in the campus design project for the newly founded Tunghai University in central Taiwan. Chen accepted the invitation on one condition, that his name be recorded together with Pei's. The idea of the project was to create a recognizably Chinese campus. It was this project that brought Chen to Taiwan for the first time and made him known for the successful incorporation of Chinese elements into modern architecture.
The Luce Chapel, built in memory of Henry W. Luce, founding publisher of Time and Life magazines, was central to the whole project. Although the design came to the public eye in the 1957 March issue of Architectural Forum, the chapel remained on paper until 1960 when funding finally came through. Chen accepted the university's invitation to establish an architectural department while overseeing the construction of the chapel. In November 1963, construction was completed on the elegant chapel that seemed to rise above the ground like two pairs of praying hands.
Chen was dean of the university's architectural department for four years before he started his own firm in 1964. ]]] *1

The following report in Chinese written by 藍景嚴 is posted through the courtesy of the "舊金山新聞" of Worldjournal.com:
藝術大師陳其寬病逝
{藍景嚴}
【本報記者藍景嚴舊金山報導】國際知名的華裔建築師暨藝術家陳其寬，不幸於5日在舊金山灣區去世，享壽87歲，追思會將於本周六（9日）舉行。*4
陳其寬早年最著名的建築設計即是台灣東海大學校園內的路思義教堂。2006年，在世界日報30周年慶時，他更捐出14幅版畫作品給世界文化基金會，為推廣公益而盡心。
陳其寬遺孀林芙美表示，陳其寬於去年聖誕節在香港摔了一跤，在當地急診室住了兩天後，到台北繼續住院觀察了十天，一度以為痊癒，於是回來美國，但很快地發覺無法站立，而赴史丹福醫院進一步檢查，隨後接受了兩次小腦脊髓開刀，5日凌晨，心臟突然抽痛，在很短的時間內就離世了。
林芙美說，陳其寬生前最愛的地方是夏威夷，因此，在舊金山舉行喪禮後，就會將他的遺體運往夏威夷，讓他長眠在那裡。稍早前麘使鸫髮W的邀請，參加在亞利桑納州鳳凰城舉辦的聯展，而今，他將永遠無法出席了。
陳氏夫婦育有一女一子，兩人均有所成，女兒是服裝設計師，兒子是財務管理專家，他們都回到舊金幚磲崾?
陳其寬是橫跨東西的藝術家，兼具建築師的理性和藝術家的感性，在雙方面都獲崇高成就。他結合中國傳統藝術及哲學涵養，和西方建築及藝術觀點，創造個人風格，英國知名評論家蘇立文於1959年即為文讚譽他是「最具創煨缘闹袊嫾抑弧埂?
陳其寬的水墨畫作呈現立體空間，時間、光線和動態，與傳統的中國水墨不同。也有不少動物系列，以獨特的造型和筆觸，表現幽默。在世界日報30周年慶接受專訪時，陳其寬曾透露，建築是事業，繪畫才是他的興趣，當感覺來的時候就會動筆。
陳其寬在離家70年後，回到出生的地方，昔日的遭戰亂蹂躪的北平成了現代化的北京，當他重返故鄉時，受到中國當局的重視，他曾在北京和上海舉辦過畫展。陳其寬留給後世許多建築和畫作，包括在舊金山華埠的一件。上世紀六十年代末期，他應舊金山重建局邀請，設計一座具有中國風味的橋，那座天橋至今猶存。橋上的八角燈總使遊客難忘。
陳其寬追思會於9日上午11時在Chapel of the Highlands舉行，地址：194 Millwood Drive, San Mateo。*5

Carl Schutz told us that, "Ideals are like stars. You will not succeed in touching them with your hands. But like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides and following them you will reach your destiny." It is our pleasure to inspire the significance of the idea, "The world of tomorrow belongs to the person who has the vision today," which was stated by Robert Schuller. Having good vision, we will bring it together with us to help promote a peaceful, happy, and healthy community.*1

"Vision seems to be an elusive yet import life principle. Your vision describes the ideal future for you to attain. It provides meaning and direction while forcing you to break through present limitations. Holding a clear picture in your mind of the desired future will mobilize your creative efforts and generate the desire and energy to perform," edited Glenn Ekeren in his book.*2

We are quite inspired by the words of wisdom as said by Alan Loy McGinnis that, "There is no more noble occupation in the world than to assist another human being--to help someone succeed." Vision with enthusiasm may bring us with hope to serve our people, community, and country!*6

Wonderful, U. S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley for Congress' January-March 2007 Newsletter!
By Shelley Berkley for Congress, and Tiffany Chang
SHELLEY PARTICIPATES IN THE MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. PARADE
Shelley once again participated in the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Parade in downtown Las Vegas, NV. Shelley made her way down the parade route waving to the thousands of Nevadans who lined the streets to celebrate the life and accomplishments of Dr. King. This was the 26th year that the Martin Luther King Jr. Committee has sponsored the parade.*1
SHELLEY SPEAKS TO THE emergeNEVADA 2007 CLASS
Shelley was the guest speaker for the class of candidates for emergeNevada, a political leadership training program for Democratic women in Nevada. Shelley shared her experiences with the women from her days as a member of the Nevada State Assembly, to a University Regent, and currently as a member of the United States House of Representative. Shelley serves on the Advisory Committee for emergeNevada. To find out more about the program you can visit www.emergenv.org.
ALWAYS WORKING FOR YOU
BERKLEY VOTES YES ON RESOLUTION OPPOSING "SURGE" IN IRAQ
Congresswoman Shelley Berkley (D-NV) voted in favor of a Democratic resolution that praises the efforts of American troops fighting in Iraq, but also condemned the President's plan for a so-called "surge" in Iraq. The non-binding resolution passed the U.S. House of Representatives on a vote of 246-182.
"This resolution says thank you to our troops, but it also clearly says no to a surge in Iraq. The President wants to send 20,000 more U.S. troops into a civil war with an open-ended mission and a bulls-eye on their back and I do not support his policy. President Bush has yet to put forth a strategy that outlines where we're going, how we're going to get there, how long it's going to take, how much it's going to cost and at what sacrifice to the American people," Berkley said. "The bottom line remains that I will not give this President a blank check for a surge when he has yet to provide us a clear understanding of why such an increase is needed or how it will help us to succeed." *2
NEVADA EARLY CAUCUS UPDATE
In 2006 the Democratic National Committee chose the great state of Nevada to be one of the new early caucus states that will help choose the next Democratic nominee for President of the United States.
