Thanksgiving for You All.

I still remembered the day when the graduation project kicked off nine months ago. I was not sure if I could finish the project alone since there are no many precedents to follow. It is two weeks before my final presentation now. I finally know that the answer is a simply “No. I could not.” I could never finish the project without your supports; no matter they are warm embraces or harsh criticism. The end of this nine-month journey is near. This is just about time for me to say thanks to you from the bottom of my heart.

First of all, thanks to Ingrid and Walter. It must be a hard time for you to guide a student who usually struggled with the composition of a qualified report and is really bad in time management. However, you still showed great patient to wait for me coming back on the right track again. I also appreciate that you did not compromise and kept pushing me to a better performance. It is sometimes unbearable, but eventually it turned out to be one of the best lessons I had learned in the project. I do appreciate the opportunity to have your guidance.

For my colleagues in JAM visual thinking, Wouter, Mike, Jan, Jeroen, Joost, David, and Lieke, I am so lucky to work with you, guys! You are always eager to help, to take a look on my work, and to listen to me patiently. You inspired me a lot with open-minded hearts and amazing talents. It is a pity that the amazing journey is going to end, but it is also so great that I have the chance to work with you guys. Jan, I will always remember your firm hug when I was so down. Mike, Wouter, and Jeroen, you taught me that I should be more eager to seek help, and, more than this, you let me know I am not alone on the journey. Joost and Lieke, it is so valuable to learn from your experience. David, thanks for your helps and next time please share more nice music with me!

It was often difficult for me to compose a qualified academic report. If the final thesis can reach any standards of a qualified report, that will be all because of your efforts to review my works, my friends. Many thanks to Lily, Lin Jun, Rene, CK, Sharon, Wendy, and Yuli. I will also never forget your unconditional support when I felt I cannot go on anymore. You gave me the strength to keep going.

To my family in Taiwan, I cannot wait to see you in the near future. Even though you cannot be here in my final presentation, you are always on my mind.
Finally, special thanks to Dennis. Without your steady support and endless passion, I cannot go that far till now. You gave me the chance to work with you and JAM visual thinking as the first international intern and the first graduation project in JAM visual thinking. I believe we both enjoyed the process. You have told me that it is stupid to be called master after the graduation of master program. I totally agree with this. This project is just a way for me to find a key to open the door to a new territory. But it does not show us the way to the treasure. I have to do it by myself. I am so glad that you and the JAMmers show me the wonders of Visual Thinking. And that will be something nice for me to continue in the future.
