This is Cosmos from Wah Yan College Kowloon. All along, I have a sanguine outlook on everything and that\u2019s why I expose myself to various fields. Having a broad spectrum of interests, like music, art, sports and literature, I lead a full and varied life. I\u2019m fertile of imagination and ideas, there are streams of things I\u2019ve always wished to accomplish.\n<br>\nTo become the ace in the pack, the ability to stand out and lead is indispensable. Leadership is something that I crave to acquire. As a student leader, I wish I could effectively lead a team, motivate the members and bind them together.\n<br>\nI\u2019m often mesmerized by great leaders, by the way they make flawless speeches of passionate eloquence that moves everyone as well as their impeccable manners. I do hope that one day I would be like one of them - visionary, inspirational\u2026\n<br>\nI\u2019m glad to be one of the ThinkSeries Leaders this year. I will savour every segment of the programme and treasure the opportunities to learn and to work with 18 other leaders. Things are not expected to be plain sailing. Beneath my confident exterior, I\u2019m a bit keyed up for the difficulties ahead. Yet, I\u2019ll do my utmost in every task, to strive, to seek, to find and not to yield. Here I am, and I am committed.\n<br>\nWe, young leaders, all possess the traits requisite to a great leader and thus I\u2019ll always learn from every one of us. Together we gear up for a glorious prospect, together we achieve! 2012 ThinkSeries Leaders let us shine!<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-10c5ba8b elementor-position-right elementor-vertical-align-middle elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"10c5ba8b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"160\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SallyChan.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1901\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SallyChan.jpg 120w, http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SallyChan-9x12.jpg 9w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">Sally Chan, Heep Yunn School<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">Hi everyone!

I love putting a big smile on my face all the time as I want to make people around me feel warm and happy. Yet, I sometimes find myself not very brilliant at speaking in front of others as every time I am on the stage, I get butterflies in my stomach easily and my speech will be messed up.\n<br>\nThis year, I am glad to be selected as one of the leaders in ThinkSeries Leadership Programme. I will definitely take this chance to improve and further discover my own hidden potential. These days, we the teenagers are dubbed as the \u2018post-90s\u2019 and stereotyped as a generation lack of critical thinking. I hope to change their mind and be a broad-minded girl who can see the world and things from a different perspective and spread my point of view to my peers. In this coming year, I am ready and looking forward to meet the upcoming challenges. I wish all the leaders can have an unforgettable experience, enjoy the time being together and most importantly influence others to think globally.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3fe61f27 elementor-position-left elementor-vertical-align-middle elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"3fe61f27\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"160\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/BrianCheng.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1902\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/BrianCheng.jpg 120w, http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/BrianCheng-9x12.jpg 9w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">Brian Cheng, St Joseph\u2019s College<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">What\u2019s up, world? This is Brian from St. Joseph\u2019s College and I am here to tell you more about myself. Perfect, excellent, flawless, those are certainly NOT the words to describe me. I hold a belief that no one in this world is perfect, and that is the sole reason why we do things to perfect ourselves, or at least to push ourselves nearer to perfection. Many people do this by delving into one particular aspect in their lives, and really pour in their one hundred percent effort in perfecting it. For me, I\u2019d rather partake in a wide variety of activities, learn from each and every single one of them so as to perfect myself and be a better person. That is to say, versatility is the most important quality to me, not only as a leader, but also as a \u2018person\u2019 in general. To achieve this, I am participating in a lot of different activities now, ranging from academics, sports and music, and many of them have already become my hobbies!\n<br>\nIt\u2019s a great honor and pleasure to be admitted to the ThinkSeries Leadership Programme. Not only does this provide me with an opportunity to broaden my horizon, it also gives me the chance to meet a legion of student elites, to work with them and to learn from them. As my all-time maxim goes, \u2018Another day another challenge\u2019 this programme will be yet another new challenge for me, fellow leaders, are you ready to seize the opportunity and take up this challenge with me?<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e82ecc1 elementor-position-right elementor-vertical-align-middle elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"2e82ecc1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/AshleyCheung.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1903\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/AshleyCheung.jpg 160w, http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/AshleyCheung-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">Ashley Cheung, Po Leung Kuk Laws Foundation College<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">Hey, Ashley here!

It's always been inside of you, you, you, and now it's time you let it through, ooh, ooh.\u201d This is from the song, Firework, by Katy Perry. This song inspires me a lot and lets me know that each of us has great potential. We just have to make use of our talents and not let them be wasted, right? Each of us is special and I appreciate the differences between people, so I enjoy teamwork and interacting with others. I believe that this helps build my friendly and approachable character.

My dream is to become a vet so that I can help all the animals that are in danger. Though it may seem difficult to achieve and a long way to go, I believe in myself and I will try my best to pursue my dream.\n<br>\nIn this realistic society, many people think that money is the most important thing to us. However, they have often forgotten their underneath dream and have neglected what they really want. I think having a dream, and at the same time taking action to achieve it is the most important for us all. Although sometimes things may not turn out the way we have wanted, at least we have tried and will definitely not regret the decisions we have made to our lives.\n<br>\nMeanwhile, I am really glad to be one of the ThinkSeries Leaders this year. I like making new friends and love to work with others, where I can understand my weaknesses and learn from others. I believe everyone is special and no one can replace any one of us.

I\u2019m not some gorgeous polyglot millionaire who could charm crowds into doing this or that, and not even those blessed\/cursed with that kind of influence could do anything but rally for their cause.\n<br>\nBut I have dreams, dreams of a better society like so many have before me. I want to become a part of that change that is, or will be taking place in our communities, in our nations, in our world; for the unstoppable tide of universal values we all cherish must, in the end, vanquish those who attempt to bring it to a halt.\n<br>\nAll I want to do right now is to learn and experience, before my time has come to uphold those rights I speak of. Broaden my horizons. Meet new people. Have a change of perspectives.

That\u2019s why I have already started to pack myself with abilities of working in or leading a team, representing my team to speak to the public, and knowledge of how important skills in all rounds are. Furthermore, I know that here, ThinkSeries, is where I can enhance my capability in communication, resources management, and project organization through working for different purposes in the society.

I am a sporty person and enjoy competitiveness and victory. Yet, I am fascinated with architectural designs or buildings. Being creative and imaginative is what I want to personate, where part of my ideas is based on inspirations and instincts. I particularly love the feeling when people are happy and admire my works and still strive for that. But for what I experienced, I faced criticism and discouragement more than admiration. Experience is what last and that is essential for those that are growing. And these priceless opinions have at some point assisted me in improving next time.\n<br>\nBut being an all-rounded leader, having a logical mind for making critical decisions is vital and is what I lack most. My mind always goes backward and forward, and at the end, nothing comes out, and everything comes to a standstill. But from my knowledge, those who have a logical mind, not only can make decisions but they also have a broad perspective and often have a back-up plan up his sleeves. I may not be a natural-born leader, but I am sure it can be taught through being associated with those that are.\n<br>\n\u201cWe are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate.

For me, I see the leadership programme as one of the many gates that lie before me, and now I wish to grasp it and make the best out of it, that\u2019s what inventors do.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4058d0b elementor-position-left elementor-vertical-align-middle elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"4058d0b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"160\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/YidyMa.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1912\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/YidyMa.jpg 120w, http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/YidyMa-9x12.jpg 9w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">Yidy Ma, Ning Po College<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">Hi, everyone!

I\u2019m Dorothy Yim from St. Paul\u2019s Convent School and I'm pleased to be one of the ThinkSeries Leaders 2012. Although I\u2019m not particularly outstanding in academic studies, people call me an active learner who\u2019s always ready to welcome new tasks, make breakthroughs and seek answers to unsolved problems. I\u2019m self-motivated and willing to learn at any time from my neighbours, whatever their races or social statuses are, since everybody has his flaws and inadequacies.\n<br>\nAs the saying goes \u201cFollow your dreams for as you dream you shall become\u201d, I believe that everyone, especially youngsters, has to dream big, set goals for oneself, and make changes concerning one\u2019s personalities and lifestyles accordingly to accomplish them. Hence, I\u2019m prepared to accept new challenges, to step out of my comfort zone and into my courage zone where I can identify my potentials better so as to unleash them, displaying vibrancy and self-confidence in my endeavours to meet the requirements of today\u2019s society.\n<br>\nThe theme for this year\u2019s programme is \u201cchange\u201d, which is an inevitable part of youths' growth and development. By changing one\u2019s attitude, one can change his life, influence the mindsets of those around him and eventually change the whole world, shaping it as a harmonious, peaceful place for the entire human race. Personally, I\u2019d like to change from adopting a silencer and listener\u2019s role into welcoming an extrovert\u2019s manner since actively sharing insights with others enables me to gain a better understanding of myself as well as happenings around me, helping me to become an all-rounded person. Next, I\u2019d be able to fulfill the missions as one of the future pillars of the society and a global leader who serves the world unconditionally.\n<br>\nWhile some might doubt the practicality of my seemingly-unrealistic plans, I admit that I\u2019m a dreamer who reckons dreams aren\u2019t limited to kids and I\u2019m positive that my persistent and never-losing-enthusiasm attitude will assist me as I move along different checkpoints on this journey known as life. I\u2019m quite certain that in the months ahead, the 19 of us are going to learn together, reach the unreachable, possibilize the impossible and turn our endless dreams into reality.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1033\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tabs-title-1033\" data-tab-index=\"3\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 3;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-8c7ce80 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8c7ce80\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55013d5 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"55013d5\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f081d30 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f081d30\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b717fcc elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b717fcc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">ThinkSeries Leaders' Sharing<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-748da86 elementor-position-left elementor-vertical-align-middle elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"748da86\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"129\" height=\"314\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Joyce.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1918\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Joyce.jpg 129w, http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Joyce-123x300.jpg 123w, http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Joyce-5x12.jpg 5w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 129px) 100vw, 129px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">Joyce Cheung, St. Paul\u2019s Secondary School<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">Changes! I want changes! Everyone yearns for changes. But it is not practical to just sit there and scream for your wants. To put action into words, I have decided to enroll on ThinkSeries 2012 Leadership programme and made a change by being one of the ThinkSeries leaders 2012.\n<br>\nThe day that I came for the interview is still fresh in my memory. I remembered that I was given a paper with a question, in what ways that you can encourage people to devote themselves in volunteer works and not just care about benefits and loss. We then went into groups and started out discussion. Five minutes later, we were required to present out ideas to a group of adjudicators. It seems like it just happened yesterday. I originally thought that I won\u2019t have the chance of being admitted to this programme as I could have done better on that day. Yet, a call from ThinkSeries, telling me that I was being selected started my exhilarating adventure. I was thoroughly flabbergasted and immediately, I knew that it was time for me to be an authentic leader.\n<br>\nWith my great excitement and enthusiasm, I went to the first meeting where we, 18 leaders first clustered around. I was wildly glad to be assigned to help with the charity organization called St. James\u2019 Settlement (SJS). Our group was designated to help with the underprivileged children. My teammates and I made great effort in proposing our first idea to SJS with full confidence - organize a play-day event for underprivileged children. Nevertheless, our idea was not accepted at first trial. We held a false belief that children want to go to theme parks. Frustrations were running through our heads. But we still pulled ourselves together. We cogitated, discovered that SJS is actually urgently needing a batch of volunteers instead of an one-day-event. And finally we came up with a brand-new idea \u2013 a volunteer campaign.\n<br>\nThis campaign aimed at training a batch of volunteer fanatics which can help SJS to deal with the problem of deficiency of volunteers. We named them \u201cIgniters\u201d, hoping that they will bring a ray of hope to those underprivileged children. In order to provide our igniters the indispensable volunteer skills, we held a training session for them and have invited 2 social workers So Fan and Emily to give us professional guidance. After the invigorating training session, our igniters were ready to twinkle themselves in our first function \u2013 the \u201cLove & Joy Lunch buffet\u201d. We have never joined such a magnificent and enormous event. A total of 2000 plus children were invited and we enjoyed a series of performances by those underprivileged children. After this, the stereotyping towards the children was certainly defeated and we gained a lot from it.\n<br>\nAfter all the hard work in the campaign, our very last ThinkSeries 2012 grand finale was waiting for us. Bearing the role as a stage manager of the finale, I took up my responsibilities and devoted everything I can to it. From designing the rundown, planning the division of labor, ordering plaques, I almost went lunatic with all those heavy workloads. Yet, I really learned so much from this. It was a once-in-a-lifetime-experience to hold such a big event by our bare hands. We need to think on how to attract audiences with an alluring rundown. I sometimes even wanted to give up and ditched all the works aside. But still, I was proud and blessed to have the other 17 leaders accompanying me in getting through these quandaries and perplexities.\n<br>\nOur ThinkSeries 2012 finale was finally accomplished and consummated with a flawless ending. I am now still intoxicated with the voices of the crowd which rose into one universal salvo. May I now make a deep obeisance to all the ThinkSeries leaders 2012? Without you, I surely cannot outwear these toilsome days. I had had great fun with you and you know what, every single of us have changed and grown up. We became more mature and knew how to cooperate with one another by listening and accepting mistakes that we have taken. \u201cNo one can make you feel inferior without your consent.\u201d People, it\u2019s time for you to be the change.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2cb1d3d elementor-position-right elementor-vertical-align-middle elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"2cb1d3d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"160\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/DorothyHo-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1919\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/DorothyHo-1.jpg 120w, http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/DorothyHo-1-9x12.jpg 9w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">Dorothy Ho, Yew Chung International School<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">After a few months of hard work, the program is finally over. I am proud of myself for being able to serve the community. Nevertheless, I felt a trace of guilt inside of me as the program prepared by our (HKPA) group has not been successfully held. During the past months, my group members and I had been organizing a program for Hong Kong Parents Association with the aim of enhancing the communication between parents and students. We thought we had considered every minor details of the program, Nonetheless, there was something which was oblivious to us earlier. Everything was ready, we had even printed out the posters for advertisement and given out the application forms. Right then, something unexpected happened. When the deadline for applying for the program drew close, we realized we didn\u2019t have enough participants to join our activity. Therefore, the event was forced to be cancelled. All of us were really disappointed at the result, as well as the small number of participants.\n<br>\nAlthough the event was not held, I enjoyed gaining more knowledge and skills in the process of working with my teammates. I started to understand holding an event is not an easy job, we have to consider a lot of factors, take courage and be really careful at making decisions.\n<br>\nI will treasure the skills which I have acquired from the program, but there is something more from this leadership program which I built. It is friendship.\n\nRight from the start of the program, I felt like I was the odd one out when we, the leaders started to communicate with each other. I guess this was probably because I am the only one from international school, where I don\u2019t share similar topics as them when it comes to talking about school lives. However, during the leadership camp, all of us drew closer with each other and I have realized that there are endless topics we share.\n<br>\nMeeting friends outside school is something that I have achieved. It was a brand new experience for me since most of my friends are from the school I study in. Speaking with my new friends, I have learnt many things that I didn\u2019t know before when my main social environment was my school and almost most of the people I talk to were my classmates. I didn\u2019t expect to be building up such a close relationship to the other leaders, I want to thank them for giving me such a wonderful time and memories.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-36a9759 elementor-position-left elementor-vertical-align-middle elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"36a9759\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"189\" height=\"314\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kelly.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1920\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kelly.jpg 189w, http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kelly-181x300.jpg 181w, http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kelly-7x12.jpg 7w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 189px) 100vw, 189px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">Kelly Kong, Christian Alliance S. C. Chan Memorial College<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">To be honest, 3 months ago, I was still unwilling to involve all of myself in this team. Not only the long hour and long distance travel which bothered me, but also the stressful and boring ambiance and the slow pace without end that scared me. And it was not until when we realized that we didn\u2019t have much time to go and so we really got down to work on the projects of the charity organization we are responsible for and also the preparation work for our Grand Finale.\n<br>\nThat\u2019s when we started to change ourselves step by step - not only the attitude, but also our entire life.\n<br>\nThis is called youthhood.\n<br>\nAnd now, I can proudly say that I am one of the 18 ThinkSeries leaders. The time working with all the others is treasurable. They are all capable, helpful and friendly. I still remember when all of us were busy handling our own duties in Wiseman office. There were several things I hadn\u2019t finished and I panicked inside. You can never imagine how touched I was when my \u201cfighting sisters and brothers\u201d helped me voluntarily without mentioning and didn\u2019t even look for a \u201cthank you\u201d. I have learnt a lot from them \u2013 their way and efficiency of dealing with problems, communicating and associating with friends, with us. And I must say, I admire them all and I am grateful to have met them.\n<br>\nI was also given a precious chance to adopt what we have to help the charity organization. Mine was Hong Kong Blind Union. I, together with Pimpen, Albert and Brian, were asked to finish an MV of the theme song for the organization and do works on the ebook which is their focus, a programme helping the visually impaired people to read. These two tasks are both new jobs to us. We were actually working through learning. Nevertheless, we enjoyed it. We enjoy the time when we work until midnight to finish an ebook. We enjoyed when we stayed together to discuss and work. We enjoyed the time when it was the first time for four of us to film an MV and work with a visually impaired person and played together with the toy lion like kids. And finally, we enjoyed the time when we could tell the others what we could do and what we have done and achieved and how much we have enjoyed it in OUR Grand Finale.\n<br>\nI have changed. I have grown. I have my life filled with colours which are painted by all 18 of us. I have got the unique and fresh and valuable experiences with the charity, visually impaired people and the 18 leaders and all the others in the society. I have bore the pressure of standing all those important roles \u2013 handling the powerpoints and name tags and attendant lists and the fact sheet and video taking and editing \u2013 for the Finale. I have gained the lovely relationship with all the leaders and organizations\u2019 members where we could find nowhere else. I can now tell the others that I have made a change and improved the society. So, now, why can\u2019t you? Believe me, you can also be the change to help the society.

Learning from others, especially all these great elites really helped me knowing my weaknesses and my strengths. Never did I realize how caring and innovative the students could be until the day I got a chance to be admitted. During the programme, I found my position. I found my ability. And, I found myself. We have gone through the hardships and tears preparing works and serving the charity. We gained not only the chance to get into the society, but also built up true friendships with my beloved group mates. They really made the days we worked together happier and more unforgettable. When cooperating, laughter came together when we were together! We were willing to share our feelings and our little secret with others and others were willing to listen!\n<br>\nIt is so amazing that we were actually a group of strangers at the very beginning. Because of the hard efforts together and frequent contact, we really became good companions.\n<br>\nWhatever when we will meet and work again, I believe that our spirit will never change!<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8048d0a elementor-position-left elementor-vertical-align-middle elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"8048d0a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"160\" height=\"314\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Albert.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1922\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Albert.jpg 160w, http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Albert-153x300.jpg 153w, http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Albert-6x12.jpg 6w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">Albert Leung, Wah Yan College, Kowloon<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">Honestly, during the finale, many words spoken touched my heart, for the words were from the bottom of their heart. I partnered with Alex Wong in the music video, it was my first time interacting with a visually impaired, and when he said to us, to the crowd at the finale, \u201cThough we are blind, we are the same as everyone.\u201d I recalled the day we were together, and I totally agree with him. Hearing him describe how e-books help visually impaired students in many ways, which we worked on as well, the feeling is indescribable. You know it helps them, but you need to hear it from the user first handedly.\n<br>\nRicky was from the charity organization Hong Kong Blind Union, his words was a bit harsh, but I appreciate his directness to us, I may have been playful at times, and hopes he forgives me. The message I received was, \u201cDoing services doesn\u2019t have to be direct with the clients, or spending a day with them, with the spare time and a computer, you can already help those that are needed.\u201d This was a lesson to me, in fact, many of the ideas I or our team proposed originally, were all events and programmes, but I enjoyed the experience of making e-books and the feeling of helping others.\n<br>\nMy deepest thanks to Ricky and Alex for your kind-hearted feedbacks and guidance and I will learn from these experiences and become a better leader.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fe1b193 elementor-position-right elementor-vertical-align-middle elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"fe1b193\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"160\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/PimpenTu.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1915\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/PimpenTu.jpg 120w, http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/PimpenTu-9x12.jpg 9w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">Pimpen Tu, Maryknoll Convent School (Secondary Section)<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">Being one of the ThinkSeries Leaders 2012 has been a very unforgettable experience.

I have learnt how to become a more confident and responsible person.\n<br>\nAlthough there were times that were very tiring and tough, I would still choose to do it over again. All the memories I had from this leadership programme is something I will definitely cherish. I will never forget how we all met the first day, how we tried to get to know more about each other in the training camp and definitely how we all worked hard together to make the finale a successful one.\n<br>\nI would like to thank everyone for their help.

The 2012 leadership Programme ended with this slogan, which was also the faith indeed of our belief. We tried something we never dreamed to do, and we took our first step to try to be the change. Throughout the entire Programme, we discovered the needs of the charity group, we built up friendship with leaders and we recognized our ability.\n<br>\nThe charity group I served and experienced was not a typical group. We weren't helping those with physical needs, but we were serving an organization that help people who is the closest in our lifetime, our parents. Maybe you never imagined that our parents need help in one day, however, they do.\n<br>\nThis time, I was provided with the opportunity to understand the needs of parents. With the co-operation of the Hong Kong Parents Association, I gave out my leisure time, but I received something that was more valuable afterwards, experiences and understanding. Through the process, we faced tasks and obstacles that will not happen in our school life, we learnt to handle them and solve them finally. The skills and experience will definitely be useful in the future.\n<br>\nThis year, I am 16 and I took my first step to go forward and be the change. Ladies and gentlemen, it is your turn to take action, Be The Change.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f649974 elementor-position-right elementor-vertical-align-middle elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"f649974\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"185\" height=\"314\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/dorothy-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1923\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/dorothy-1.jpg 185w, http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/dorothy-1-177x300.jpg 177w, http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/dorothy-1-7x12.jpg 7w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 185px) 100vw, 185px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">Dorothy Yim, St. Paul\u2019s Convent School<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">Isn\u2019t it unmistakable that changes happen regardless of whether or not my attitudes alter? Doesn\u2019t the technology advance and progress on its own? How could it not be true that the globe warms itself up? Discriminations and stereotypes are none of my business; Misunderstandings and prejudice will never affect me\u2026\n<br>\nSitting still, waiting with patience, listening attentively\u2026 were what I considered the criteria to become a successful leader. Those were what I\u2019ve always been practising, but absolutely not what I should have been doing. And it's ThinkSeries Leadership Programme that has made me realized this. It's the theme of the year \"Be the Change\" which has proven me wrong.\n<br>\nProviding us with the opportunities to work with charity organizations, the programme has enlightened me and diverted my attention and concern towards the underprivileged and neglected in the society. Co-organizing activities with Yang Memorial Methodist Social Service was an entirely new and rewarding experience for me. Not only have I developed a stronger sense of awareness towards those who require assistance, I have also learnt from those I met during my service, irrespective of their races, religious beliefs or social statuses. Responding to my own dreams with persistence and vivacity was but one of the lessons my service target \u2013 a group of Nepalese boys under 12, all passionate about playing football \u2013 has taught me.\n<br>\nProducing flashcards for Nepalese families was an idea initiated by leaders from my group of four, and with togetherness, we have switched this dream into reality. From designing to translating, from formatting to printing, my team members and I have paid tremendous effort in reaching the seemingly-impossible-to-reach star. The knowledge and insight that this process has brought us is beyond what words can adequately convey. Being flexible and embracing changes, be it concerning one\u2019s personality and attitudes, be it related to external circumstantial factors, is vital for all capable-leader-wannabes. Despite that several barriers have hindered us on our voyage, we, the dynamic and exuberant generation, were able to overcome impediments and had our hard work paid off. Written on the hundred sets of handy flashcards we made, which consist of wordings related to local food and culture, facilities, as well as common phrases for daily usage, are the Nepali language, English, Chinese and Cantonese pronunciation of words. The flashcards are useful for the newly immigrated Nepalese families in communicating with locals. Through making such educational tools for people of ethnic minorities, we have taken one step further in helping them integrate into this multi-cultural society.\n<br>\nApart from serving the community, we leaders were also responsible for the whole ThinkSeries Charity Showcase 2012, from designing tee-shirts to booking the venue, from logistics management to contacting the presses. There was once when I thought that this mission would be impossible; there were times when hopelessness drew me to an absolute frustration, when immense pressure and guilt overrode me, when the scarcity of time defeated me\u2026 and the story went on. But every time when I imagine the joy and sense of satisfaction the Grand Finale would bring us, I felt like bringing a child to this wondrous world, and this was where my motivation to work came from.\n<br>\nContacting presses has been no easy task for me, an introvert. Apart from my reluctance to speak to strangers, my tendency of striving-for-perfection-in-an-overly-extreme-manner has resulted in the procrastination of the sending of press releases before the Grand Finale, causing no press to publish it before our event. The \u201ccruel\u201d fact that all presses have turned down our invitations to our showcase has also upset other leaders, which made me felt terribly guilty. Nevertheless, all of them have been very supportive and the failures that I encountered endured were, to my utmost surprise, significant in serving as a foil to the happiness and freshness we receive when seeing our first post-event press release and group photo on Wen Wei Po. My role as the leader of the press team has helped me see beyond my inadequacies, and assisted me as I began to identify my potentials and strengths, which I am going to further develop and hone. Starting is what makes all the difference. An ordinary can become the extraordinary if only one strived with his courage and embrace changes he wishes to see. Personally I have taken the first step to become a more confident and courageous person when I welcomed the job of phoning and speaking to editors and reporters from presses, and I believe more changes regarding my personality are yet to come.\n<br>\nWhile the Finale marks the end of this year\u2019s programme, I believe it isn\u2019t an ending point. Rather, I\u2019d like to view it as a watershed, one that separates the modern from the out-dated. I was determined to start a new page in life. The charity showcase served as a platform for us young leaders to display vibrancy and exuberance, which are often intertwined with youthfulness. It was where principals, teachers and parents acknowledged us, where we shone on stage and turned our dreams into reality, and where our capabilities and abilities were evident. Despite that not every single person who showed up would be able to respond to our endeavours with great enthusiasm and a firm will to solicit community involvement, none of us will ever be discouraged. \u201cDon't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant\u201d, I am hopeful and with faith that the seeds we sow on the audience\u2019s hearts will sprout one day.\n<br>\nThank you, ThinkSeries 2012, for without the memories you bring, my youth-hood shall never be complete. The precious moments of collaborating with my fellow teammates will certainly stay fresh in my mind for a very long time, if not a lifetime. I feel beyond blessed to have been admitted to this year\u2019s programme and I take pride in those I met and worked with here, all of whom have been, are, and always will be, outstanding and talented in different fields.\n<br>\nChanges do happen regardless of the alteration in one\u2019s attitudes, but it is crystal-clear that positive changes in our personalities can bring about a myriad of optimistic impacts. Discriminations, stereotypes, misunderstandings and prejudice are all topics we come across in our everyday life \u2013 by expressing our concern to the underprivileged, it is possible that we can free the needy from their everyday afflictions once and for all.\n<br>\nYoungsters of today are often considered as the uncaring and cold generation. It seems as if we\u2019re all indifferent towards social issues. But this is not the case. To continue lighting the world and make it shine with justice and harmony requires more than the 18 of us paying time and effort. You, dear readers, can be the catalysts in contributing to the diminishing of discriminations, stereotypes, misunderstandings and prejudice.

I\u2019d been counting down the days, longing to associate with and know about all of you.\n<br>\nThere were games and tasks which seemed to be quite challenging. We worked in groups and competed with the others. After a few false starts, we reached an unspoken consensus, cooperated well and got things done. I soon realized that effective communication was crucial to the completion of every task and our ability to eliminate clutter from complexity was something that made a difference. Most importantly, to be creative be ready to deviate from the ordinary and the traditional.\n<br>\nAs the evening wore on, we delved deep into controversial topics and questions which definitely had no clear-cut answers. I was really impressed by the endless supply of smart ideas. I was inspired. Many of us had incisive, analytical minds as well as cognitive skills like big-picture thinking and long term vision. For me, there were things that I had to learn \u2013 the way you guys saw things beyond the routine, never afraid of challenging the status quo or exploring anything new\u2026\n<br>\nThe next day was equally gainful. We got the chance to practise our presentation skills. The difficult thing was to dig out the essence of the photos or phrases then elaborate, where I noticed that useful ideas might come from unexpected sources. It turned out that there were hints and sign posts in every topic given.\n<br>\nDuring the project presentation, everyone exuded confidence and all groups came up with something new, distinctive and special. I was grateful to hear solid suggestions from other leaders. Our group will do our best to vault over current limitations, pursue our ideas to completion even when the odds are stacked up against us.\n<br>\nIn these two days, everybody contributed to their group and vied for points. A bond of friendship was forged between us. Never did I enjoy so much working with you guys, as a team. I did have a smashing time, to learn and to make progress.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9a5c50e elementor-position-right elementor-vertical-align-middle elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"9a5c50e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"160\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SallyChan.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1901\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SallyChan.jpg 120w, http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SallyChan-9x12.jpg 9w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">Sally Chan, Heep Yunn School<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">This year, we are so lucky to have been the ThinkSeries' first-ever training camp.\n<br>\nIn the 2-day camp, I have had a wonderful moment with all the other leaders. We played and we learned from the games. We were spilt into several groups and a fierce and intense competition began. Through the challenging games, I realized that communication and cooperation were the keys to win the game. A good communication skill can help the team operate smoothly and more efficiently while active cooperation and support by every team member can facilitate the teamwork and get closer to the goal.\n<br>\nBesides teamwork skill, I have also learned how to think outside the box. For the past few years, the young generation is always being criticized for lack of innovative and multi-perspective thinking. And now I have found out the reason why. It's because Hong Kong students never challenge people. We simply receive what the teachers have taught us and we have this deeply rooted belief that teachers are always right. During the camp, we were encouraged to ask questions and challenge each other. We even sat together and had a heated debate on some controversial topics, In fact, I enjoyed the moment when every one of us sat round the table discussing all kinds of issues, as it had inspired me to think more and beyond our borders.\n<br>\nIt seemed like a camp for two days was a bit short, as time flies and happy moments always flow the fastest. Yet, I have grown a lot. Thanks everyone for giving me such a wonderful memory!<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aae4d8c elementor-position-left elementor-vertical-align-middle elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"aae4d8c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"160\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/BrianCheng.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1902\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/BrianCheng.jpg 120w, http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/BrianCheng-9x12.jpg 9w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">Brian Cheng, St Joseph\u2019s College<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">It has been years since the last time I went camping and I was really excited to pack my little backpack and embark on this entrancing journey ahead of me. Having searched for the site for quite a while, my group mates and I finally arrived at the campsite, where we were then instantly welcomed by the fellow leaders with a bit of ice-breaking games. We soon started to mingle, having no trouble at all in getting along. We continued with rounds and rounds of games and tasks until we finally worn ourselves out. It was clear that we all enjoyed the games and had a lot of fun.\n<br>\n\u2018Ring, ring, ring\u2026\u2019 A myriad of sporadic \u2018ringing\u2019 sounds filled the room \u2013 Rise and shine, fellows. Punctuality is a key factor in being a good leader, and here at the camp, we would be penalized if we failed to reach certain places at the times specified. On the next day, we got ourselves ready for our long anticipated presentation. We applied our newly acquired presentation skills and delivered our presentation swiftly and successfully.\n<br>\nIt is always a hard time to say goodbye, but the camp has finally come to an end. In spite of the fact that we were so eager to stay and play a little longer, we had to leave the site and go back to the city. Without a doubt, the Thinkseries training camp 2012 was a life-changing experience for me. Not only did I meet a lot of new friends, I also had loads of fun there. The camp has also been a great opportunity for me to learn and polish my communication and presentation skills. To wrap things up, I have really learnt a lot from this joyful and fruitful camp. I liked the camp a lot and I am really looking forward to the other forthcoming events in the future.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e1ee77a elementor-position-right elementor-vertical-align-middle elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"e1ee77a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/AshleyCheung.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1903\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/AshleyCheung.jpg 160w, http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/AshleyCheung-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">Ashley Cheung, Po Leung Kuk Laws Foundation College<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">On 13th January, 2012, us Leaders attended a training camp at Sai Kung. It was not all fun and games \u2013 we all had to put in a lot of effort in the activities.\n<br>\nAfter settling down, we had a warm-up game requiring us to group ourselves without talking. All we did was doing some kind of patterns and weird gestures towards others. Sometimes, I didn\u2019t know what the person in front of me was doing and I giggled out loud!\n<br>\nLater, we played a game which required great eye-hand coordination, body language and teamwork. All of us were divided into groups of four and we had to use our hands only to communicate with our teammates. It was hard but funny, as we wiggled our fingers like a maniac. So, we ended up laughing hard.\n<br>\nAfter dinner, we were told to blindfold ourselves, as we had to search for our groupmates in a dark room. I was so terrified when someone collided with me, hitting my shoulders! I had to feel the wall and walk around the room, bumping into chairs and a whiteboard to get to my group and our Mentor!\n<br>\nAfter the thrilling game, we gathered around to talk. First, we introduced ourselves thoroughly so others could know us better. Next, each of us expressed our viewpoints about current hot topics, such as the banning of fast food. It was interesting to hear what others thought.\n<br>\nThat night, my roomies and I played various card games. Since we had to slap the table in one of the games, we shrieked and my hands were red from being under others\u2019. After that, we took funky and goofy group photos, just the eight of us, in weird hairstyles and facial expressions!\n<br>\nThe next day, we listened to a beautiful song \u2013 the THiNKSeries Theme Song. It was so lovely and the lyrics were very inspiring to me. Then, we were all taught the techniques of doing a presentation. We had short practices on talking for a minute in front of everyone without a lot of time to plan the speech.\n<br>\nThen, each group had to present their project ideas. Mine was about Yang Memorial. We presented our aims, activities to be held and details for the promotional video. Of course, we received positive feedbacks from other Leaders and our Mentor. What a relief!\n<br>\nAfter lunch, each of us received a red packet with two seeds. Personally, I think it is to symbolize the growth and maturity of our minds and our future blossoming! Well, I was quite gloomy when we had to leave. I really enjoyed myself throughout the camp and have definitely gotten to know other Leaders better. I hope there will be another camp soon, so we can have fun and learn to think outside the box at the same time!<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f89b136 elementor-position-left elementor-vertical-align-middle elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"f89b136\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"159\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/JoyceCheung.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1904\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/JoyceCheung.jpg 120w, http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/JoyceCheung-9x12.jpg 9w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">Joyce Cheung, St. Paul\u2019s Secondary School<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">Playing games, chatting with each others, learning to work as a team, all these can be found in one of my remarkable journeys ---- The 2-day leadership training camp.\n<br>\nI remembered that I was late on the first day of the camp and we were punished to do 30 push-ups in front of everybody. I was embarrassed and abashed. Though 19 of us were worked as a team of 2012 ThinkSeries leaders, actually I only knew well with my group mates and the others had been unknown to me. My face turned red and seemed to be exploded at that moment.\n<br>\nAfter the punishment, we went back to our own team and started to play different mini games. I really enjoyed those games especially the one we needed to blindfold our eyes and each of us were given a number, we needed to search for our own group mates and at last, arranged ourselves from the smallest number to the biggest number. The most difficult part was that we were not allowed to make any noise and communicate with each other. After this game, I realized that an effective communication is very important. In the game, each group had to come up with some special ways to communicate with each other and make sure all our teammates knew perfectly what they were doing. Sometimes when we are communicating with external organizations or parties, effective communication is vital to us and we should make everything clear and distinct and prevent misunderstanding and confusion.\n<br>\nWhat\u2019s more is that through this camp, I understood each of our brilliant leaders more. As I have said, I felt embarrassed at first but after 2 days, my embarrassment disappeared completely. We chatted with each other while having dinner, breakfast and lunch. We talked and laughed. At night, I even chatted with my group mates till 2am, isn\u2019t it strange? Be true, I found it queer that each of us became acquaintance after 2 days only. Just maybe we are born to be each other\u2019s best friend and that\u2019s why we made friends easily without any obstacles and knew others well.\n<br>\nI felt like I was in a marvelous dream that all the things seemed to be so perfect and good. I was glad to have 18 best friends in just 2 days and indeed, time flies. The training camp was really like a dream that it ended so quickly. However, these memories were branded in my heart and I am sure after this camp, we can work with each other better and more united.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-099da42 elementor-position-right elementor-vertical-align-middle elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"099da42\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"160\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ChristineChiu.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1905\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ChristineChiu.jpg 120w, http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ChristineChiu-9x12.jpg 9w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">Christine Chiu, St. Paul\u2019s Secondary School<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">20th January, is one of the remarkable date in my calendar. How remarkable was it? It was the day of my ThinkSeries leadership training camp. Also, it was my first time to go camping.\n<br>\nAt 6:00 pm, my group mates and I stepped into the camp site- Sai Kung Outdoor Recreation Centre. We were amazed by picturesque scenery in the site. The air was so fresh and clean.\n<br>\nThen we went to our room to gather with other leaders. Once I stepped in the room, I was really embarrassed. Why? Because we were late and other leaders were waiting for us. Then, we were castigated to do 30 push up in front of others. Luckily, our group leader were willing to do push up with us. Thus, we just needed to do 15 push-up. At that time, I feel that we were acting as a group , but not an individual. Although it was embarrassed to receive punishment, it was an unforgettable experience.\n<br>\nAfter that, we played some thrilling and exciting games. My favorite game was \u201cSearching in the dark\u201d. All of us were blindfolded and were given a number. We are required to find our group mates and arranged us in ascending order. The fastest group would win the game. At first, we were perplexed since we didn\u2019t know how to find our group mates in shortest time. Suddenly, we just flashed on it. We found out if we folded up our clothes, we could easily detect one another. Finally, we won the game! In fact, victory was not the most important. The most essential thing was how to interact with other group mates. In our daily life, conflicts are inevitable. The most important is to conduct a peaceful and rational communication. This can enable both parties to clearly understand the opinions of others. Through this game, we comprehended how to communicate in a peaceful and respectful manner. This skill will be necessary when we enter the job market because it can help us to establish a harmonious relationship with others.\n<br>\nThe most impressive was the discussion after having dinner. We were asked to debate a topic and gave own opinion on it. This task seemed simple and manifest. However, once we started the discussion, we discovered we were completely wrong. It was because we were required to think critically and in multiple perspectives. \u201c Do sharks bite?\u201d It was asked by one of our mentors. This question still left in my mind. Before attending this camp, I have never thought about this question. Sharks bite is a fact.\n<br>\nWhy? Why do we believe sharks bite? You may say because textbooks said so. But why do we need to believe the textbook? Nowadays, students didn\u2019t have an innovative mind. They just concentrate on their studies and memorize all the things that their teachers teach them. Students lap up information without digesting it. Thus they don\u2019t really comprehend the knowledge. Is this really the aim of study? Study without understanding? Study without developing an innovative mind? Through this discussion, I realized that study is not the most important factor. In fact, think with an innovative mind is the only key to success.\n<br>\nTime flew like an arrow, and the 2-day camp finally came to an end. Though this 2-day-camp was a short journey, it was an unforgettable memory. After this camp, I have met more friends and learnt more skills. Hope in the future, 19 of us will be more united together and become close friends in the future.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-461e9f6 elementor-position-left elementor-vertical-align-middle elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"461e9f6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"158\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/BrianChui.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1906\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/BrianChui.jpg 120w, http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/BrianChui-9x12.jpg 9w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">Brian Chui, Sing Yin Secondary School<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">Think out of the box---This is the most impressive thing I have learnt from the camp.\n<br>\nThe training session held in the camp evoked my doubt of the correctness of what I think and believe. Sometimes my perception is correct, but sometimes it isn\u2019t. Then how can I know if my perception over a thing is correct? The training session reminded me that the prerequisite is to find out the answers myself. Do not only believe what I believe is correct, but to prove what I believe is correct. It seems to be easy and direct. Nevertheless, I acknowledge I have forgotten it already. As we are teens, we only have a tunnel vision therefore we need to find out the answers of different interesting things in the world to broaden our horizons!\n<br>\nDo all of you remember the discussion we had? \u2018\u2019Do ghosts exist?\u2019\u2019 \u2018\u2019 Are pressures a fundamental factor of being successful?\u2019\u2019 \u2018\u2019Is law fair in Hong Kong?\u2019\u2019 I really enjoyed the discussion with you all. During the discussion, we challenged our thinking and viewed a topic in different angles. I don\u2019t know how you all think about that discussion, but to me, I had a big stride towards equipping with global perspectives and innovative thinking\u2014think out of the box!\n<br>\nIn the camp, I don\u2019t dare say I have built up a deep friendship with you all, but at least, I have known more about you. All of you are nice and cordial especially my teammates. I love collaborating with you all. Although we are divided into different groups, I hope that we can continue building up a deep and sincere friendship with you all!\n<br>\nI think my English has had a big progress in the camp as I start speaking more in English since the end of the camp. I used to be afraid of speaking English because I was scared to be mocked. I will horn my English diligently as you all gave me inspiration. I pledge that I will not be jittery anymore, ha ha!\n<br>\nLast but not least, I hope that in the next two months we will have great fun and success!<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f09f44 elementor-position-right elementor-vertical-align-middle elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"6f09f44\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"160\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/DorothyHo.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1907\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/DorothyHo.jpg 120w, http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/DorothyHo-9x12.jpg 9w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">Dorothy Ho, Yew Chung International School<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">On Friday, 24th of January, we set off to the first camp that the ThinkSeries leadership programme has ever held. Since the camp was starting at 5:00pm and ended at 1:00pm on the next day, I was wondering what we could do in such a short period of time. To be honest, I was a bit worried that it would just be some boring camp where we have to plan what we want to do by ourselves. However, I was wrong. This camp was not like any other camps that I have been to.\n<br>\nStarting from the first second when we have arrived in the campsite, our activities were already fully planned ahead of us. That evening, we took part in numerous activities and had plenty of fun. Through those activities, we can develop our teamwork, leadership and presentation skills and also assist us to think out of the box.\n<br>\nIn addition to skills and knowledge, I have also built up something very precious, and it is friendship. Although two days and one night seem so short, the time is enough for us to build a very close friendship among all leaders. Since I am one of the youngest leaders in the group, I was worried that I might not be able to fit in as other leaders are more matured than I am. Nevertheless, age is not a problem. Everybody is very passionate and unreserved. In no time, all of us were chatting and having fun with each other as if we have known each other for a lifetime.\n<br>\nDuring the days that I have spent in the camp, I realized that learning does not only apply to sitting in a classroom and listen to the teacher. We can learn in many different ways. I think one of the best ways to learn is to take part and get involved just like what we did in the camp. This way, we can understand fully of the message that the teachers want to deliver.\n<br>\nThis camp is a brand new experience for me and I did enjoy it. The camp was fun, entertaining but also useful. Without this camp taking place, I would not be able to learn and understand so much handy skills. Furthermore, without this camp, all of us might still treat each other as complete strangers. This camp is what brought us all together and learn more from each other.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-622fd69 elementor-position-left elementor-vertical-align-middle elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"622fd69\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"180\" height=\"167\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/RosemarieHo.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1908\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/RosemarieHo.jpg 180w, http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/RosemarieHo-13x12.jpg 13w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">Rosemarie Ho, Baptist Lui Ming Choi Secondary School<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">Under different circumstances, the ThinkSeries overnight camp would have been just another two days of trumpeting the importance of leadership and being told to lead, lead, lead their team to glory. But what exactly is leadership? Anyone could say that any leader who presents their ideas and thus expects people to follow them is not a good one. Any camp counsellor could extol the virtues of being a patient leader (because pleasantries can always help you herd teammates to your goals). Any teacher could canonise public speaking skills, rhetoric, confidence \u2013 but are leaders made of all the qualities\/skills I mentioned above?\n<br>\nIf the camp has taught me anything, it is this: a leader who possesses the traits above is almost certainly a good one, but never a great one. Good leaders lead; great leaders question.\n<br>\nWe had memorable discussions on whether pressure is a fundamental factor for success, if ghosts are real, and whether the Hong Kong judiciary system is unfair. Celebrities often offer their opinions on these topics; are they always right? Who dares to question authority, and ask for its underlying reasoning?\n<br>\nIt\u2019s believing in what you believe in, while searching for proof and reason. It\u2019s not just simply thinking out of the box; it\u2019s questioning why the box is even there in the first place. It\u2019s burrowing through cold, sleepless nights for that speck of light at the end of the tunnel, for an answer.\n<br>\nAnd that\u2019s how the camp left an indelible mark on me.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e7ec84 elementor-position-right elementor-vertical-align-middle elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"2e7ec84\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"160\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/KellyKong.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1909\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/KellyKong.jpg 120w, http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/KellyKong-9x12.jpg 9w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">Kelly Kong, Christian Alliance S. C. Chan Memorial College<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">This training camp is rather short and less physically-demanding comparing to my other camping experiences, but all of us understand that the lessons of the activities taught is what it\u2019s worth attending. The obvious significance of the camp is the construction of our team spirit and the unvoiced pact between teammates in our cooperation, as all the activities we did were in teams.\n<br>\nThe activities in the camp were actually all highlights from which we had learnt something. We have learnt to use our instinct to communicate with each other. This can enhance our communication skills. Moreover, communications actually require us to represent our message in a way that others can understand. We can\u2019t expect others to know our instinctive language but we need to use a common language as well.\n<br>\nWhat\u2019s more, when we were given a task or an impromptu presentation topic, like in the real society, few instructions and time would be provided. The thing here was, we always needed to plan and think out of the box. There were much more unexpected details which we needed to consider. This is not a necessary truth, but the more details and perspectives you could think of, the more likely you would succeed. That\u2019s why we found that observing others and matters in daily life and learning from them is frankly very important to help us build our multi-perspective view and attentiveness up. This could also speed up our rate of coming up with ideas as we could base on what we have observed and create rather than starting from zero.\n<br>\nOne main point of the camp I must mention is that through all the activities, practices and discussions we had, friendship has really developed among all of us, especially among teammates. I want to thank for the provision of this camp and thank all my teammates (Pimpen, Emma, Albert and Brian Chui, whereas all of us were actually named \u201cAlbert\u201d) for giving me such a precious and unforgettable experience.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5001183 elementor-position-left elementor-vertical-align-middle elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"5001183\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"160\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GinoLai.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1910\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GinoLai.jpg 120w, http:\/\/thinkseries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GinoLai-9x12.jpg 9w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">Gino Lai, Kwai Chung Methodist College<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">It was hugely enjoyable to have camp activities with those all elites. What impressed me most is all the people there in the campsite who benefit me many. Through communicating with them, such as Justin and my teammates, we have developed great friendship and know more about each other and what is happening in Hong Kong\u2019s school. Knowing that what the Band 1 students think of Hong Kong\u2019s education system and all of us exchange our views and try to reach a common sense.\n<br>\nAfter cooperating with my teammates and trying to solve all the questions and problems during the camp, I think we have had a better understanding of each other and we are glad and proud to be in the same group. All of my teammates are willing to express themselves and cooperative. It makes me love this program much=]\n<br>\nThere was many team adventure activities during the camp and my group did all successfully. The tutors told us to think out of the box after finishing all the activities, many of us inspire a lot. Don\u2019t just do what teachers ask you to do, try to challenge if they are right!

Games are an effective way to get to know each other as not only are we communicating, but we are having fun and enjoying the process.\n<br>\n\u201cI show two versions of reality and each make complete sense to the participant who sees it. I think that\u2019s how life works.\u201d\u2014 Bill Watterson. During the first night, we had a long deep conversation on different topics like \u201cDo ghosts exist in this world?\u201d, \u201cIs the law fair?\u201d which I might never have touched or questioned myself about. Maybe it\u2019s because I only see and believe what everyone says, the common version. Yet, through this conversation, seeing other leaders sharing their thoughts, it completely blew me away, for their views are informative, but very different. They try to challenge others and we sometimes receive even better responses. Sitting there listening, I want to be as flexible as them, and strive for that.\n<br>\nThis training camp definitely challenged me in many different places, making me to willing to step outside my comfort zone, like giving a presentation in front of others. For many times, my mind goes completely switched off when it comes to this, but at least this time a build up the courage to take it on. And will keep on trying to wipe of this fear, as confidence and self-belief is essential to get your message across to the audience and not just simply reciting it off a sheet. There\u2019s no golden rule for a perfect presentation but as we all say \u201cpractice makes perfect\u201d, and it works!\n<br>\nExperience is what I was hoping to gain through this training camp; two days cannot change me unless I put what I\u2019ve learnt into use in my daily life.

Still remember those games we had in the camp is to let us think in another way, in order to develop a wider perspective. I am sure I can apply this skill in daily life, especially for analyzing situations and the trend of the society.\n<br>\nThe second thing is to ask more and more questions. During the training camp, we often have different sorts of discussion such as political views and other social issues. Our mentors encouraged us to ask questions. Now I realized that we always learn from others during this \u2018asking and listening\u2019 process. When we ask a question, we can muse more and more deeply which help us to come up with new ideas and solutions. Besides, learn to listen others is a must, we learn from others all the time.\n<br>\nFor me, I loved the presentation skills lesson. A mentor from the past ThinkSeries Programme taught us plenty of \u2018tips\u2019 for a presentation. That\u2019s really helps me much because I love doing presentation. I believe I can get a big improvement, practice makes perfect!\n<br>\nAhha\u2026 There\u2019s something missing! That\u2019s friendship. In this camp, it got us to know more about each other.

All the members in a group were required to stand in a straight line, and they had to complete different tasks in order to score marks.\n<br>\nAlthough there were a lot of limitations during the transfer of the commands from one group member to another, everyone participated enthusiastically. In the end, no team managed to finish the last task because it required members to \"think out of the box\".

Not only had this camp enabled us students to familiarize ourselves through debating, discussions and sharing by past leaders who have become our mentors, it had also helped me realize my inadequacies and potentials to be further developed.\n<br>\n\u201cOn my own I can fly high above in the sky\u201d, thus sings the first verse of the THiNKSeries theme song. It\u2019s high time I noted for myself that I simply shouldn\u2019t continue dwelling on hatred or jealously of any sort, irrespective of how others seem to outperform me, but I\u2019ve got to learn to live at ease without depending on any external circumstances or anyone.\n\nOn top of that, regardless of the unequal opportunities, unfair circumstances, countless unknowns lying ahead on our paths, it is vital for a youngster to continue to learn and strive for excellence by going beyond our abilities. To think out of the box, to challenge the norms and not to stop there when things seem to go wrong are also what I\u2019ve observed as criteria for exercising victorious leadership. New possibilities might come without any prompting; hence, we should also be prepared to keep a determined mind and a firm soul to make good use of circumstantial factors.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1036\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tabs-title-1036\" data-tab-index=\"6\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 6;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-5b579a8 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5b579a8\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d92e9d3 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d92e9d3\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2c2c668 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2c2c668\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div align=\"center\"><h1>2012 Community Project<\/h1><\/div><p>\u00a0<\/p><table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"middle\"><tbody><tr><td><a href=\"http:\/\/think.ukeybox.com\/site\/2012\/2012\/hkbumedia.shtml\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/think.ukeybox.com\/site\/2012\/leadership_programme\/images\/topic_HKBU_1.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>Hong Kong Blind Union Group<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/think.ukeybox.com\/site\/2012\/2012\/hkpa.shtml\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/think.ukeybox.com\/site\/2012\/leadership_programme\/images\/topic_HKPA_2.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>Hong Kong Parents Association<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"http:\/\/think.ukeybox.com\/site\/2012\/2012\/stjames.shtml\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/think.ukeybox.com\/site\/2012\/leadership_programme\/images\/topic_stjames_1.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>St James\u2019 Settlement<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/think.ukeybox.com\/site\/2012\/2012\/ymmssmedia.shtml\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/think.ukeybox.com\/site\/2012\/leadership_programme\/images\/topic_YMMSS_1.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>Yang Memorial Methodist Social Service Group<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><div align=\"center\"><h1>ThinkSeries Leadership<br \/>Hong Kong Blind Union Group<\/h1><\/div><p><span id=\"videoplayer\"><\/span><br \/><br \/><\/p><p><b>Members:<\/b><\/p><p>Brian Chui, Sing Yin Secondary School<\/p><p>Kelly Kong, Christian Alliance S.

As a student, I am blessed with a pair of eyes and all that I could have ever wanted to achieve in my academics and play, and thus want to alleviate their learning barrier as much as possible. Producing e-book is truly quite the experience!<\/p><p>I truly aspire that the one step we have taken will drive the public to join in as well!<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2>Contact Us<\/h2><table><tbody><tr><td>Winnie Fung<\/td><td>3187 4995<\/td><\/tr><tr><td colspan=\"2\"><a href=\"mailto:leaders@wiseman.com.hk\">leaders@thinkseries.org<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1037\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tabs-title-1037\" data-tab-index=\"7\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 7;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-d60105f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d60105f\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4529681 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4529681\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e8426d5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e8426d5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div align=\"center\"><h1>ThinkSeries Theme Song<\/h1><h3>Composed by Rose Lee (TS10), Lyrics by Vivien Ko (TS10)<\/h3><\/div><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>On my own, I can fly, high above, in the sky<\/p><p>Love being alone, I lie<\/p><p>There\u2019s no one on my side and I cry<\/p><p>But I feel someone standing by my side<\/p><p>Oh my friend, because of you all things seem so perfect<\/p><p>I wish our friendship would last till the end<\/p><p>ALL: The sun rises up every time you\u2019re here<\/p><p>Girl: Make me standing strong<\/p><p>All the worries gone!<\/p><p>I want to thank you with all my love<\/p><p>ALL: My friend DO stay here beside I pray<\/p><p>ALL: All the time we\u2019ve spent to play<\/p><p>Make me smile on my way<\/p><p>As what we have said.<\/p><h2>Download<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"http:\/\/think.ukeybox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/thinkseries_theme_song.mp3\">mp3 version<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/think.ukeybox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/thinkseries_theme_song.pdf\">lyrics<\/a><\/li><\/ul><h2>Contact Us<\/h2><table><tbody><tr><td>Winnie Fung<\/td><td>3187 4995<\/td><\/tr><tr><td colspan=\"2\"><a href=\"mailto:leaders@wiseman.com.hk\">leaders@thinkseries.org<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leadership Programme 2012 2012 ThinkSeries Leaders Shar [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-243","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
