Congratulations to you on National Match Day!

學醫的路是漫長充滿挑戰的，未來三年的訓練更需要：

The road to become a doctor is long and full of challenges, especially during the three years of residency training.  Hope you will be able to:

Care and Courage--有一顆仁慈的心對待每一位病人，有勇氣麵對醫學與生命的有限性。

Treat every patient with a heart that is genuine and kind. Have courage to face the limitations of the medicine and life. 

Open minded--所以敞開胸懷去探索各種的可能，接納不完美的自己和他人。

Be open to explore all the possibilities. Accept the imperfect self and others. 

Never give up--麵對困難和失敗不輕言放棄，這種不放棄不是不撞南牆不回頭，而是堅信條條大路通羅馬，在綜合各方麵因素後，找到最合適的方法並爭取最佳的結果。

Give your best effort when you feel things are too difficult to overcome or when you experience the failure. You can try again or find alternatives to reach the same destination. Seek the most proper method that will lead you to the best solution. 

Grateful--知道感謝感恩會讓你關注生活工作中點點滴滴的小快樂。平衡工作中的壓力。

Be grateful for what we have will get our attention to small happiness here and there that so often people may ignore. The feeling of satisfication and success can lower the pressure from your work and routine life. 

Read more--讀書也是減壓的好方法，不論是專業書還是雜書，你都可以從中學習到東西。加深對專業和生活的理解。

Reading is another approach to reduce stress level. You can always learn a lot from reading books in your focused area and books that describe various aspects of people's life. Reading can also help you develop competency in your specialty as well as gain indepth understanding about the life. 

Ask--有問題時多問，你周圍的人都可以成為你的老師。對新的環境不太清楚時更應該多問多了解。 有經驗人一分鍾的點撥勝過你一天漫無目標的尋找。

Don't be afraid of asking if you have any questions. People around you could serve as your teachers. It is specially important to absorb information when you are a new comer and unfamiliar to the environment. Remember, a tip given from an expert in a minute would be more meaningful than the aimless search for an entire day.  

Teamwork--團隊精神非常重要。明確你自己在團隊中所處的位置。希望你有足夠的智慧與教練，隊長和隊友們合作愉快。

Together, Every one can Achieve More. To build up a strong team, you need to know how to effectly cooperate and communicate with people who are above and around you and the people under your leadership. Stay humble because you need to bend knees first to jump higher.  

Use of time--  時間有限，任務繁多，相信你能按輕重緩急安排好。

I heard one of the suggestions during this year's Match day ceremony is "use cleaning service". This indicates that you will be extremely busy with endless tasks. I am sure that you will manage time well and prioritize things that need your immediate attention and action. 

Laugh more--笑容如陽光可以與人溫暖，可以融化堅冰。記得你小時候喜歡看幽默畫，希望你會給自己找到或開懷大笑，或溫馨一笑的時刻。

I can recall so many times we laugh together especially when you show me some hilarious Sunday newspaper comics. Similar to the sunshine, laugh has the power to warm and melt the heart. I hope you can discover ways to share your smile with joy. 

Answer with patience--你的工作需要你與很多人溝通，有問有答，當你不忙時做到耐心解答不難，可當你忙累之時，你最需要的也是足夠的耐心和愛心。耐心可以使人冷靜。

I like doctors who can take the time to provide professional answers to ease patients' concerns. It will not be too hard to achieve this when you are not in a rush. However, it will take a great effort to stay calm and patient when you are busy and exhausted.   

Tea break-- 所以累了，煩了，覺得耐心不足的時候，給自己倒一杯清茶，會有清心醒腦的功效呢。

Therefore, give yourself a tea break to clear your mind.  

Imagination can be fun--當休息的時候讓思緒放鬆，如野馬脫韁般的瀟灑。生活不僅僅是醫院病人電腦房，去打球，去看電影，去陪女朋友吃飯，去與同事同學出遊。去想象自己在九彩的餐台前做一道最精致的美食。當你覺得生活有趣的時候，你會發現工作也變得活潑了。

Let imaginiation carry you to the places where you can relax and wonder. There are so much we could do in our life. Enjoy every moment and do things you like such as playing tennis, playing cello, or making a delicious dish... When you experience the happiness and fun in life, the routine work will be more pleasant. 

Optimize your decisions-- 其實生活工作中的每一步都是做決定的過程。醫生的決定對病人是否能夠得到及時有效的治療至關重要。希望這三年的實踐讓你有機會運用所學的知識，細查明斷，幫助病人找到最好的診療方案。

Do you agree that life is a process of decision making? Doctor's diagnostic assessment and decisions are crucial to each patient to receive effective treatment in a timely manner. Hope you will be more experienced to apply what you have learned to the practice and make the best decision for your patients. 

Nap time is a must--抓緊一切時間小睡。提高睡眠的質量。隻有最好的休息，才會有健康，有充沛的精力和體力。你要切記老醫生的囑咐。

"Find time to sleep" is a suggestion by a senior doctor. It is so true to feel recharged after a quality sleep. Rest well so we can work better. 

Son, 我們愛你。

Congratulations！ 祝賀你。
