Summary

Have you ever invited random people for a street survey, tried a crazy foreign food or performed an extreme sport like bungee jumping? Sometimes, doing things that we do not feel comfortable with or would not normally do is not that difficult as we think. Getting comfortable with discomfort requires practice. The more we deliberately stretch outside our comfort zone, the more confident we will become to tackle the new challenges in the ever-changing environment.

In this webinar, two outstanding alumni will talk about their exciting life journeys and disclose how they push themselves to the next level. Ir Chan Siu-hung will review his adventure of becoming the pathfinder and pioneer cattle of the power and electricity industries in Mainland China. Elton Ng, on the other hand, will share his rewarding athlete experience and personal gain from actively helping others in need.
