Stick to Yourself and Achieve the Future
"Things in the world are unpredictable, and change is the norm in life." This statement reminds us that in an impermanent world, only by constantly changing and learning can we gain a foothold in the ever-changing reality. Brother Gou Bok Hou exemplifies this spirit. He is not afraid of change, dares to challenge himself, and bravely explores the unknown. After countless attempts, he finally forged his own path.
During his time at our school, Senior Brother Gou was bold enough to try different fields, even switching from science to liberal arts. Change requires a process and significant effort. When facing adversity, the key is how to navigate the "adversity wave" and persevere. In the process of switching from science to liberal arts, Brother Gou recognized the gap between himself and others. He often felt discouraged and even contemplated giving up. However, he consistently believed in our school's spirit of "achieving outstanding results with extraordinary efforts," worked hard to stay true to himself, and ultimately overcame the challenges in his studies.
After graduation, he continued to explore various fields, including film, accounting, and marketing, eventually taking the leap to start his own business. Even when he faced setbacks and his business struggled initially, he remained undeterred and learned how to confront adversity. Fortunately, a group of like-minded friends supported him through these challenges, allowing him to eventually found a marketing planning company, where he now serves as the marketing director.
This journey of constant change is fraught with hardships, and only he can fully understand the struggles and efforts involved. Nevertheless, he consistently persevered and fought for his dreams. This spirit of seeking breakthroughs has shaped his courageous personality and paved the way for future success.
Senior Brother Gou once said: "Life is a learning journey; you are always learning." Even after graduation, for him, learning never ends. He believes that only through continuous learning can he quickly approach his goals. We must constantly improve our knowledge, vision, and abilities to pursue bigger dreams. Senior Brother Gou is not only focused on personal development but also dedicates his energy and resources to giving back to society. He adheres to the philosophy of "taking from society and giving back to society," actively contributing through the charity organization he co-founded with his friends.
Senior Brother Gou’s story inspires us all. We should not only have the courage to change ourselves but also face difficulties positively. Instead of escaping from fear, we should confront challenges, overcome them, and strive for success. Additionally, we should give back to society, ensuring a better future for ourselves and others. Finally, Senior Brother Gou wishes our school a happy 25th birthday! He hopes our school will continue to cultivate more talents and contribute to society and the country!
