CURRENTLY there is a widespread belief that the trend in the future is quick profits, quick growth and everything accomplished quick. This, however, is not the right message to our young people, because it gives them nothing but an illusion.
Just look at those apparently impressive constructions which proved to be fragile in an earthquake.
True, social changes bred of ever faster flows of information and advances in technology are irresistible today, but they do not always translate into wealth or success overnight. Steady and sure progress will still be the mainstream in the future growth.
Such solid progress is in no contradiction with new developments in information and other technologies. The latest and fast changing technologies will help maintain and facilitate growth, yet our growth must be reliably down-to-earth to ensure sustainable success.
Traditional values in our heritage that are proven viable should be retained and developed into “new values”needed for the future.
Given the ever-changing technologies and fast-flowing information, we should do away with the slow changes, sluggish actions and time-consuming decision-making in the old days. Yet we must maintain a steady orientation for our growth. This is the new value we need.
We used to label various enterprises as large or small, traditional or high-tech, but that classification is no longer valid.
If a company makes traditional products by high-tech means, then it is a high-tech enterprise. Traditional products do not disqualify the producer from high-tech.
On the other hand, high-tech industries cannot grow without support from traditional products.
In this light, one can see that there is no point in classifying the various enterprises so long as they all function towards prosperity and wellbeing in this land and better life for the people.
In their progress, enterprises should move towards alliance－not only within the same industries, but also across industry borders－for better mutual support and cooperation.

踏踏實(shí)實(shí)才是主流
社會(huì)上彌漫講求快速致富、快速成長(zhǎng),一切都快就是未來(lái)的新趨勢(shì)。用這種只重表面的虛象來(lái)引導(dǎo)年輕人發(fā)展,并不是一件好事。
像一些建筑,只講究外表的漂亮,一遇到地震,卻不可靠。
今天的社會(huì)變遷、資訊快速、科技進(jìn)步,這是不能改變的。但是,這些發(fā)展不一定要引申成快速致富,一夜成功。反而應(yīng)該是踏踏實(shí)實(shí)、一步一步走,才是將來(lái)的主流。
因?yàn)?腳踏實(shí)地的發(fā)展,并不與快速的資訊與科技進(jìn)步有沖突；我們可以利用科技的變遷,資訊的快速發(fā)展做為工具。在這種工具的協(xié)助下,我們還是要一步步腳踏實(shí)地,這樣的成功才能持久。
如果傳統(tǒng)的一些舊價(jià)值是好的,就應(yīng)該要延續(xù),發(fā)展成未來(lái)需要的“新價(jià)值”。
過(guò)去的改變慢、行動(dòng)慢、要好好考慮的決策方式,必須因應(yīng)科技的進(jìn)步、資訊傳播的速度而改變,但是走的方向還是要實(shí)實(shí)在在,這才是我們要推廣的新價(jià)值觀。
過(guò)去常見將企業(yè)分成大企業(yè)、小企業(yè)、傳統(tǒng)企業(yè)、高科技,這種分類法是不對(duì)的。如果傳統(tǒng)企業(yè)用高科技生產(chǎn)傳統(tǒng)產(chǎn)品,就算是高科技企業(yè)。生產(chǎn)傳統(tǒng)的產(chǎn)品,不表示它就不是高科技。
如果沒有傳統(tǒng)產(chǎn)品支持高科技產(chǎn)業(yè),它也沒有辦法去發(fā)展。假如大家用這個(gè)觀念思考,所有的企業(yè)都是為了這塊土地的繁榮與福祉再努力,讓生活品質(zhì)更好,就沒有區(qū)分的必要。
企業(yè)的發(fā)展應(yīng)該朝向聯(lián)盟的方向。不只是同業(yè)聯(lián)盟,還要異業(yè)聯(lián)盟,相互支援、合作。
