ThinkSeries Leaders 2010
Anthony Chan, Diocesan Boys' School
Hi, this is Anthony Chan, a sixth form arts student from Diocesan Boys’ School. Reading is my greatest passion, and it is in books and articles that I catch glimpses of the world and come to understand it, gradually coming closer to becoming a global citizen. And as prospective global leaders, we need something more. We lead to serve.
It is a great pleasure to be admitted to this leadership training programme. This has not only brightened up my prospects, but has also set me on a venture to meet a host of student elites, each with their own dreams, their own potentials. Through this programme, I hope to learn not just the qualities of a leader, but also the responsibilities burdened upon us in this 21st century. This is a lesson – a lesson to meditate upon this volatile changing world and our roles in it.
Cheryl Chan, PLK Mrs Ma Kam Ming Cheung Fook Sien College
Hi! This is Cheryl, a Form 6 from PLK Mrs. Ma Kam Ming Cheung Fook Sien College. It’s the first time for me to join the THiNKSeries Leadership Programme. I think that I still have to learn more in different aspects or else I’ll lag behind with this ever-developing society.I believe that joining this programme will be a very good chance for me to learn and experience more.
At my leisure, I usually go out with my family and friends. I really enjoy every moment with them as they always make me laugh. Going shopping, playing badminton, swimming and watching movies are what we usually do together.
Some people say that I’m a bit stubborn sometimes, particularly while I am working. I do admit that sometimes I’m quite demanding but perhaps that kind of attitude motivates me to do everything in full force. Hopefully, this “demanding” attitude will help me contribute as much as I can to this programme.
Judy Chu, Yew Chung International School
Hi everyone. We are the Think Series Leader of 2010. There are twenty-one of us, and I am one of them -- Judy Chu, a year 11 IGCSE student from Yew Chung International School.
As you might wonder, why am I even here when I'd be having my IGCSE exams this year; well, I would want to take this challenge and learn through all these experiences -- not only the skills that we will learn in this course but also improving my time management skills that I consider as one of my weakness. I belong to the Prefect Team at school and I like socializing and can be rapport with people of different age. But please do not stereotype me as one of those "good students", I always consider myself to be a playful person (and a bit naughty sometimes). I believe that not performing as a "good student" who only follows teacher's instructions could sometimes help us to be creative and think out of the box. I also like to play basketball and gymnastics though they sound irrelevant at all, and they provided me chances to cooperate with my mates and take up challenges.
The world is developing in such a tremendous speed, and due to globalization the trend of the world in near future would require all countries to work together, solving global problems in this realistic world. Global Perspective was a new IGCSE syllabus that started two years ago, and there were only 23 schools in the world taking this course in 2008 -- Yew Chung is one of them, and the only one in Hong Kong which took such course at that time -- I am proud to be one of the students who has a global perspective and had been looking into numerous global issue like global warming, education problem, future sustainable development and ethnic groups around the world.
I believe that this Think Series leadership course can further develop me to be a global citizen as it slogans -- "global perspectives, innovative minds, caring generation". I am looking forward to learn more and further develop my communication skills, and become a professional at managing a ceremony as different posts. I've seen two of the graduates from my school who also used to take part in such course stood out charmingly as students of excellence, therefore, I really look forward to the Thursday sessions coming up and the day we Shine on the Stage like them.
Frederick Fung, Creative Secondary School
My name is Frederick Fung. That is a common start in an introduction. But here is something unexpected. I am a stranger living in a strange city. Sorry. But that’s my opinion. I am from Singapore. If you been there before, yes. Everything is peaceful and boring. But our government is not “fuzzy” on the insides.
Great leaders or even great humans, learn from failures. I am confident I am not afraid to fail. There is not a human on earth that is perfect. I am not perfect. In ThinkSeries Leadership Programme, I plan to make mistakes. I plan to learn from my mistakes. So I don’t make my mistakes again. It is to my up most interest that I improve myself over time. Teamwork is also important. Everything starts from making friends, getting to know my team-mates better. I believe, from ThinkSeries Leadership Programme, I can be a better me, with a bunch of friends that have improved.
I would like to end this with a quote.
“Personally I'm always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught.
Sir Winston Churchill”
British politician (1874 - 1965)
Isaac Ho, Tsuen Wan Government Secondary School
Hello I am Isaac Ho! I am a form 4 student from Tsuen Wan Government Secondary School. I have got numerous of hobbies- sports, chess, music, debate and many others. I like playing chess most because it can train my logical thinking and how to stay calm when facing difficulties. I enjoy the time “dueling” with my friends on the chessboard! I would say I am very interested in those activities, however I am a master of none. But who cares? This doesn’t affect my enthusiasm for learning and challenging.
I think I am really fortunate to become one of the twenty ThinkSeries Leaders. My cousin is also one of the leaders who joined the programme in 2008. He told me that it’s such a rewarding experience and would certainly broaden my horizon. I think the programme will surely improve my spoken and written English, and I can think more independently, this helps me become a successful leader in the future. I am now one of the members in the production and management team that I look forward to being responsible for organizing the whole function! Let’s work hard together, teammates!
Vivien Ko, Diocesan Girls' School
Being an all-rounded student is my short-term goal. A student who does not only achieve good academic performances, acquire various music skills, practice sports techniques and actively take part in community services; but a rhythmical global perspective. In order to achieve such goal, an inspiring learning environment is definitely the surrounding I really long for.
Nowadays, everyone can obtain information freely in the internet. But I deeply believe that not everything is reachable through it. To acquire knowledge of various culture and to have a sense of global citizenship, experience is the most essential element.
I feel grateful to be selected as one of the twenty leaders. And I am looking forward to the programmes that are provided in ThinkSeries Leadership Programme. It would surely equip us with different skills that would help us to overcome the setbacks in the future. Hope that I would not only acquire knowledge that cannot be learned from school but gain a life-long friendship.
Jackie Lai, Maryknoll Convent School (Secondary Section)
Energetic, persistent and cheerful - That’s what best describes me, Jackie Lai from Maryknoll Convent School. Though hesitant and stubborn at times, I treasure every moment of life and is determined to make the most out of it. Nothing tells you more about me than my motto, “Try again. Fail again. Fail better”. Having strong belief in courage and faith, I am willing to take up responsibilities and face challenges. During my spare time, cooking is my passion and reading is my world. I enjoy playing Taekwondo, piano and swimming as well. They are what make my life colourful and full of surprises.
Unpredictability is what makes life marvelous. I am most honoured to have such a valuable chance in work with all these high-profile leaders. Excited, I hope to further establish my communication techniques, leadership skills and explore my true potential. And, most importantly, make friends and simple have some fun, which I know is guaranteed right from the start of our first meeting.
Andrew Lam, Wah Yan College, Hong Kong
As the President of the Student Association, I am always given a great deal of opportunities to address speeches in public. As a matter of fact, this is both a blessing and a curse. More oration experience can no doubt hone my communication skills, particularly with a crowd. However, on the other hand, it can be discouraging sometimes if I fail to convey my messages fluently and entice the audience.
In order to eliminate those embarrassing moments, I sought advice from every person I can find. Nonetheless, the situation was not improved much and still appeared as irremediable. Not until my vice-principal advised me to join this meaningful program where I have a chance to work with a score of brilliant minds. I am confident that I can learn a lot from my comrades and solve my previous puzzle. May the journey begin now!
Annie Lam, Po Leung Kuk 1984 College
Hi! My name is Lam Hiu Ming (Siu Ming). I am a S4 student from Po Leung Kuk 1984 College. It is quite difficult to introduce myself because I am a mercurial girl, so I’ll just introduce my favourite things. I love making jokes, but what a shame that people don’t always laugh. I don’t want to do my homework but, unfortunately, the teachers give a lot. I love eating, but I am getting fat. Some people may think I am silly, but I just think I am funny.
Mary Lam, St Paul's Secondary School
Hi there! This is Mary from St. Paul’s Secondary School. I think a piece of ice best describes me. I may look cool and stern sometimes especially when I’m not smiling, but please don’t be scared off, for I am quite a loquacious person instead. Like ice does melt someday!
My favourite hobby is watching movies. I especially enjoy myself in cinemas, for it feels great to experience something as a crowd. I love working as a team for the same reason. It’s therefore my pleasure to be in this leadership programme, and to work with all of you leaders. Let’s treasure this opportunity of learning and making friends. Hope all of us enjoy and have big fun.
Angus Lee, Hong Kong Chinese Women's Club College
Hi everyone! I am Angus Lee, an S.4 student from Hong Kong Chinese Women’s Club College. It is my pleasure to be chosen as one of the twenty bright leaders in ThinkSeries Leadership Programme 2010. People usually described me as a talkative, sporty and practical person.
I love playing sports such as football and basketball as I highly value teamwork. I always believe that collaboration leads to success. Besides, I have a lot of pastimes, like playing chess, reading detective stories and playing sudoku, etc. These activities can polish my logical thinking skills and problem-solving skills. They are real fun.
Having been admitted to this programme, I’m going to seize this opportunity to broaden my horizons and gain experiences of launching an event. Most important of all, I hope I can be a true leader and a capable individual, and be able to handle tasks and confront challenges after taking part in this rewarding programme.
Rosa Lee, St Francis' Canossian College
Hi there! This is Rosa from St. Francis’ Canossian College. If I were confined to use one word to conclude myself, I’d use “unstable”. To be frank, I am quite an emotional person, and sometimes bad-tempered. But there are also times that I am able to control myself and be calm, or even to make justified decisions without interference from any other factors. Yet I can say that this is definitely not acceptable for a leader, who should always (not sometimes) have a clear mind. I really wish I could improve on that, and this is also the reason for me to join this programme.
Martin Luther King once said in his speech, “I have a dream today!” I believe it’s important for one to dream, and the most important, to make it real. I’ve had a lot of dreams throughout my life, and most of them came true. Being in this programme is also one of my dreams – And yes I finally get the chance to be one of the leaders! And now I’ve got to dream higher – To be a world citizen and successful leader with a global perspective. I believe this is not only my dream, but also the dream of all of us participating in this programme. I just couldn’t wait any longer to work with these future leaders!
Jesse Leung, STFA Leung Kau Kui College
This is Jesse speaking. I’m just one of the ordinary Form 6 students from STFA Leung Kau Kui College. I love hanging around with friends, exploring the surroundings and have fun on streets! Together we search places of interests with nice local food, have crazy poses when taking snapshots even in public, messing around everywhere with music and video camera. Life is full of adventure and now I’m exploring the world of leadership in this programme. Surely it is going to be one of the most memorable, vivid and learnable experience from the programme leaders and fellow teammates!
Raphael Ngai, Sing Yin Secondary School
This is Raphael from Sing Yin. I am forgetful but scrupulous, shy but brave, sometimes lazy but always vigorous. My soul has been captured by two things, History and Football. I think I am able to tell you everything, from the Stone Age to the Second World War. I love football that I always throw my textbooks away and play with my friends before exams. I enjoy talking with others, especially girls (I regard they are more sharp-tongued and talkative than boys). I am contented to have a light bulb brightened in mind after listening to different opinions.
Now, I am filled with unlimited energy, confidence and passion to beat all the challenges coming. I would like to go on this long journey with another 19 comrades and share the goodtime with them. I have a dream, that is, to use my own hands and knowledge to contribute to society. Therefore, I have to ‘upgrade’ myself first. I would become a benevolent, honest and capable leader. Tomorrow is in my hands. I am ready!
Stephanie Smith, HKUGA College
I may not be born a great leader, but with the help of this programme and my own efforts, I can certainly further develop my skills and confidence. I may not be the most outspoken person in a group, but that does not make me a bad speaker. Being an optimistic person, I always do things with a positive attitude and make my own way through any obstacles. When alone, I enjoy thinking and observing the things and people around me. I am usually the most eager to try out new things, to learn, to understand and to experience. I value friendship and love to interact with the people around me and extend my social circle. My personal goal in life is to live it to the fullest, as you will never live again.
Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that I have a chance to be here. I believe that it must be fate for me to be with the 19 of you along with the professionals. It is definite that I will have mixed feelings when working with unfamiliar faces. However, with all the talent and enthusiasm in us, we will surely make a great team. We are here to share one common goal, that is to strive for the best! This will certainly be an eventful journey in my life.
Hilton Tai, St Paul’s Secondary School
Hi! I’m Hilton, a F6 student from St Paul’s Secondary School.
I am a person of contradiction. I am lazy but motivated. I love being alone but enjoy times spent with friends. I am temperamental but logical.
Being a motivated person, I always energize myself with challenges and problems, never giving up halfway. By setting and reaching goals, I find my self-confidence builds fast and know where I have to concentrate my efforts. In 2010, the main thing I hope to achieve is being not only an achiever but also an all-rounded leader. Therefore, I am glad to be admitted to this leadership programme which equips me for my goal and gives me a chance to meet twenty new faces. ThinkSeries Leaders, let’s have fun and strive for our goals!
Violet Wu, Diocesan Girls' School
Hello, my name is Violet Wu. I am currently studying in the Lower 6 arts class in Diocesan Girls' School. I am a cheerful and outgoing person, and I enjoy sports and music. When facing difficulties, I try to see them as challenges and persevere to solve the problems. As I am a self-motivated and committed person, I believe that what doesn't kill me can only make me stronger, and so I try to stay committed to anything I do, and overcome the difficulties that come my way.
I am honoured to be selected as one of the leaders of this leadership training programme. With this wonderful opportunity, I hope to improve my communication and leadership skills. I feel that I can benefit from this program because it gives me a chance to broaden my horizons and extend my social circle.
Furthermore, I am sure I will be more confident when facing strangers and speaking in public after taking part in different kinds of trainings. Such essential communication skills cannot be learnt from textbooks, but through experiences and practices only.
Finally, I hope that through this programme I can get to know my teammates better. I am sure we will all have a great time, and make this year both fruitful and memorable for all of us!
Annie Yu, St. Mary's Canossian College
Charisma will do to get a KISS.
KISS – Keep It Smart and Special. With irresistible charisma, you will shine on stage, as a smart and unique leader. This is also my aspiration and goal – to be a leader and step up to make the world a better place, which is with love and harmony.
In a large group of students, I can always be recognized and remembered. It's probably because of my enthusiasm and positive attitude. My laugher and giggle usually pervade the whole room or even dwell in your heart. I can definitely bring you joy.
New challenges come every day and they follow you like your own shadow. I will embrace them with confidence and overcome all the obstacles with my partners. If I fail, I will learn from my mistakes and have a new start! Nothing is impossible.
I don't view things in another perspective but in global perspectives and this talent will definitely make me an asset to the ThinkSeries programme. The ThinkSeries leaders are from different schools and with different ideas. I believe that there will be positive sparks and innovations. I am confident that 21 intelligent teens with passion and innovative minds are going to create another year of glory!
Tom Yuen, Wan Yan College, Kowloon
As I always say, my English is not good at all. But somehow, what I usually do is making people laugh when I speak in English. Therefore when I work as a team member, I can always bring my team a happy atmosphere. And I guess that is why I enjoy working as a team, as every moment I am with a team brings me happy memories.
There is no way to understand someone unless through conversation. I love making friends because I can get to know a whole different story when I communicate with them. Being one of those in ThinkSeries 2010, what I am looking for is experiences from different people. And you know what, I can’t wait to discover a whole new world.
Writing and reading is also one kind of silent conversation. When we are willing to make new friends, we can do it as any way we want.
ThinkSeries Leaders' Sharing
Anthony Chan, Diocesan Boys' School
This morning after the ThinkSeries Awards Ceremony concluded, my head is throbbing, ruminating these months I have spent in the ThinkSeries Leadership Programme 2010. Since the start of the ambitious post-90s campaign, I have embraced an array of alien activities – writing a press release, being scrupulous about what to say, handling the anarchy of the stage…New horizons, new perspectives, new experience: these mark the conclusion of this rewarding programme.
Dreams have been dashed, and new dreams created, amorphous though they are. As I learned to cope with the realities of the world during this programme, my dreams of the future continued to be refined and fine-tuned: this world is no longer one that contains only my wild raging fantasies, but one filled with people; and to attain success, one must learn the skills of coordinating with different individuals, each with their own views, their own horizons. This is the lesson.
I have completed my duties, some painful, others rewarding. I have finished one page of my life, and I must turn overleaf, waiting in excitement what lies in store. And each time I turn the page, I grow up, and bit by bit I acquire the wisdoms of life. Let us all proceed with our lives, as individuals, as leaders, to see what destiny has in store for us!
I really learn from you all.
Cheryl Chan, PLK Mrs Ma Kam Ming Cheung Fook Sien College
Life is never easy. Not only do we need to deal with different kinds of people, but also piles of challenges. Yet with the efforts of the leaders, we have had a great performance on stage. In the past few months, I have met many people from various fields and I do learn a lot from them. We really can't get these experiences from the text-books. Hopefully, we can all make use of the experiences and brighten our future.
Judy Chu, Yew Chung International School
Six months ago, I was a year 11(form 5) kid, convinced that she is incapable to handle working like adults do. I still remember that when we first met, I thought we were given an impossible mission. Six months later, having been through this leadership program, I am still the year11 girl who can't hold her laughter, but is now more prepared for the real world. I learnt more about myself from the other leaders, and I also realized that leadership is much more than I first thought. All the skills we learnt, are "outside the box working experience". I am very glad that I was chosen as one of the the ThinkSeries Leaders of 2010 and had the chance to work with 18 of my teammates.
ThinkSeries Leaders, I am proud of you all. We all worked very hard, taking the initiative of taking the extra step to work with other teams, of making this happen. I must use the opportunity here to say sorry to the Wiseman staff - we always went overtime, so they had overtime sessions - a big thank you to you all. Now, we are not just working partners, but also close friends -- "I hope our friendship would last till the end"
Although this program was scheduled alongside with our busy schedules and my IGCSE exams, I will never regret for spending so much extra time working on videos and getting involved. Unlike other leadership programs, ThinkSeries is a golden opportunity to excel oneself and to reach a higher level of leadership skills. These are truly one in a life time experiences and more will be learned in the process than ever imagined.
May I wish you all good luck in your life's journey ahead.
Isaac Ho, Tsuen Wan Government Secondary School
It has been half a year, since we met, since we gathered, and since we began our journey. This will certainly be one of the most remarkable days throughout my life, as I wholeheartedly enjoy the time working with you. We were from different schools, we had different backgrounds and we shouldn’t have known each other, but now an unbreakable bond is built between us. Thank you friends, thank you for backing me up along the way and I couldn’t have done this well without your support.
The opportunity given by Wiseman to us to organize our own event is surely valuable. It does really professionalize me and enriches my knowledge .Also after being trained by several professional trainers, I have learned how to be innovative and think out of the box. It’s important for leaders not only to follow, but to create!
Moreover I must thank the Wiseman staff for giving us so much support! As what told by them they are actually VOLUNTARY, but still they paid so much effort and sacrificed their precious time. A thousand thanks to you!
It seems that everything has ended but this is actually when our journey begins. As what our theme song says, “I wish our friendship will last til the end.” May our friendship really last forever!
Vivien Ko, Diocesan Girls' School
Throughout these months, we have gone through intensive trainings so as to equip ourselves and to organize such an enormous event. We have discussed about the necessary qualities a leader should possess and were all confident enough to host a ceremony.
Surprisingly, a week before the ceremony, nothing was ready and we never had a full rehearsal done. At that point, our team was nothing but chaos. Though time was short we could never postpone the ceremony.
After the ceremony, I found that theories are always different from real life situations and even professors can never teach you everything. The last and only solution is to have faith in ourselves and we did it. Our team is now in a state of organized chaos! J
Jackie Lai, Maryknoll Convent School (Secondary Section)
What have I got from this programme? Apart from having my mailbox bombarded by uncountable emails and sacrificing a considerable amount of sleep, I have to admit that I learned quite a lot. In fact, I learned so much that all these inconveniences seem trivial comparatively. Surviving deadlines and dealing with communication problems were no easy tasks. But encountering unexpected changes simply gave me a heart attack. Nevertheless, through all these challenges, especially those frustrating ones, I acquire useful skills in leadership and communication, invaluable experiences and more importantly, true friendship with the other leaders. And, I am really thankful to Clement, Winnie, Eric and Wiseman staff who have been very helpful throughout the programme.
And, we did it. We have shine on stage, just as we will shine in life as a committed and devoted post-90 and leader.
Andrew Lam, Wah Yan College, Hong Kong
It is not uncommon to find that most leadership enhancement courses offer trainings from a third person objective where mentors are assigned to impart earnest and heartfelt wisdom to the students. ThinkSeries program takes a different approach. All participants are their own tutors and they learn from their own clunkers and blunders. During this process, one may also understand oneself more. I personally rediscovered my passion in program directing. I also unearthed my inherent passion as a post-90’s to share my jubilance with my peers. I have a stonking brill journey here with my 18 comrades. If you want to share the joyful experience that I have had, come and join the ThinkSeries family!
Annie Lam, Po Leung Kuk 1984 College
In the half of the year, we pay all of our patient and gain happiness .I never dream that I can become a leader of leadership Programme 2010 it is quite unbelievable .However I did it!
During the programme, although we need to give up some of our study time for learning the skills of holding a ceremony, we gain that more we had pay such as friendship and leadership! Just like the lyrics wrote by Rosa” our friendship would last till the end”. If all the things become once again I will do it again!
ThinkSeries Leadership Programme is an unforgettable experience of my life!
Rosa Lee, St Francis' Canossian College
This year’s theme for the competition is “Faith”. To me, faith is a gift for everyone. People from all walks of life, no matter rich or poor, healthy or weak, hold faith when they start to believe in themselves or even in anything that they encounter. Faith is a magical power that gives us strength and motivates us to strive on, especially during difficult times. I am glad that I have developed faith through organizing this ceremony. I am especially grateful to the ThinkSeries Leaders this year, who are now my friends and learning partners. It’s never easy for teenagers at our age to take up such a challenging yet meaningful task. But we finally did it, and we did it because we are a group of post-90s, who are with enthusiasm, determination and most importantly, with faith. Because of faith, we dare to dream, and we turn our dream into action, to organize a ceremony that recognizes the achievements of all outstanding post-90s here, at the same time demonstrate the power and determination of us, the post-90s.
今年的比賽主題是「信念」。對我來說，「信念」是屬於所有人的禮物。來自不同階級的人，不論是富或貧、健康的或疾苦的，當他們開始相信自己、甚或是相信他們身邊遇到的任何事情時，他們就能擁有「信念」、掌握「信念」。「信念」是一種奇妙的力量，它能給予我們動力去堅持奮鬥，特別是身歷在困境中的時候。我很高興我能夠透過籌備今年的頒獎禮，建立了「信念」。我特別感謝今年的領袖們，他們既是我的伙伴，也是我的學習對象。像我們這樣的一群年輕人，要舉辦一個如此大型的頒獎禮絕非易事。可是，我們最終都成功了，因為我們是一群充滿熱誠和堅毅的「九十後」青年。不過，更重要的，是因為我們具有信念。因為信念，我們敢於有夢，我們更將夢想付諸於行，去舉頒一個屬於我們的頒獎禮︰一方面能夠讓表現優秀的「九十後」青年的作品得到認同，另一方面展示出「九十後」青年所擁有的力量和堅毅。
Jesse Leung, STFA Leung Kau Kui College
It has been the biggest day of the year to me.
The first time I talked over matters so seriously on phone, The first time I checked my e-mail so frequently, The first time I dealt with so many changes right before deadline...
Once you started doing,
you are learning, disregarding age limits.
It counts as a tiny step closer to the adulthood and workspace:
Learning by doing.
So I take this chance to thank all the ThinkSeries trainers, leaders for having me here.
There were ups and downs, but after this big day, I will never regret skipping lessons to make friends with all the 18 capable leaders and the ThinkSeries big family.
Raphael Ngai, Sing Yin Secondary School
‘We can do it!’ The US State Secretary Hillary Clinton had once told the Americans in her election campaign.
The feeling of shining on stage was excellent. It was out of my expectation! We were willing to pay time and heart to prepare the ceremony. Our efforts and passion gained the smile and pleasantness of the guests, we were fully contented.
Without the cooperation of the other 18 comrades and staff members, I could never do my part well. Without the support of the School, the Principal and my English teachers, I would never have the chance to try the taste of success.After the last day of April, this long journey of leadership training is nearly over. I will always remember the happiness on our ‘graduation day’.
Stephanie Smith, HKUGA College
Yes, we’ve made it!
Six months ago we were a bunch of students that were unfamiliar with each other. Now, we are more than teammates, we’re friends. Working with 18 other people of different personalities and backgrounds was an eye opening experience. I have never expected myself to take up so many important tasks at this point, and to have deadlines become a part of my life. Engaging myself in press matters, design and editing work has allowed me to step into the shoes of a real business person, to learn about facing everyday challenges and tackling difficult tasks.
Making mistakes in the process of learning is definitely inevitable. I would like to thank all the facilitators, staff, past and present leaders for their patience and care. Without your support, our ‘graduation’ would not be such a success.
Despite a few sleepless nights and a never empty email inbox, I am proud to say that this has been an eventful journey and a highlight in my life.
Violet Wu, Diocesan Girls' School
Over the past few months, I have learnt valuable MC skills and made many friends through attending the training sessions offered by the ThinkSeries leadership programme. The enriching experience remains invaluable and memorable to me. By working with 18 other talented leaders, I managed to broaden my horizons as well as my social circle. Through interacting with my teammates and learning from the many talks given by coaches and professionals, I have become more confident when facing strangers and speaking in public. I was actually shining on stage during our graduation!
Apart from that, I have realized that what we regard as 'difficulty' now is just the tip of the iceberg, for we will face much more challenging tasks when we enter society as an adult; the ThinkSeries leadership program serves as a platform for us to experience some of the challenges we will face in the future, prompting us with different ways to prepare for them and overcome the barrier.
Lastly, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the trainers for equipping us with the different traits required to prepare us for future's society. Last but not least, I would like to thank you, my fellow leaders, with all my love. Without your hard work, our graduation would not have been a successful one - here's to our everlasting friendship!
Annie Yu, St. Mary's Canossian College
Shine on stage. Yes we, 19 ThinkSeries Leaders, did it and the cheer of solidarity and faith droned through the wall of my heart.
I feel proud and glad to be one of the ThinkSeries leaders, who are with innovative ideas, with different talents, with goals and with FAITH. We attended professional training sessions to polish our communication skills, project management skills, presentation skills and press liaising skills. We did a lot of preparation before the ceremony and worked efficiently under the pressure given by the tight schedule. It is never easy to hold a ceremony but with faith, we achieved our goals. We believe that the Post-90s will share the same success – to have global perspective, innovative minds and be a caring generation.
On my own, I can fly, high above, in the sky…
We composed and performed our theme song. The moment with all ThinkSeries Leaders will never be forgotten. Our mutual support for each other has strengthened our bonding. We buried our heads in loads of work together with laughter and tears. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude towards the ThinkSeries Committee for giving us a lot of helpful advice and help.
Although the ThinkSeries Leadership Programme 2010 has come to an end, we will have another journey full of obstacles in the future and we believe that we will continue to shine and to lead. Let’s join our hands together to welcome a new start and make the world a better place.
With faith with live, higher summits we seek.
Tom Yuen, Wan Yan College, Kowloon
People won’t grow unless they are willing to. Chances always come before we notice that, and we rarely get another once we miss it. ThinkSeries Leadership Programme is a chance for students to get to know more about themselves. Everybody can shine on stage, which I guess would be the slogan of the programme.
Think big and do it, all leaders enjoyed dreaming big and we did it. We took our chances, grew up and changed because we are willing to do so!
Half a year ago, when we passed through the tough interview and met each other, we stepped forward to grow. Believing in yourself, dream big and do it! Never say IF, IF is meaningless unless we step forward.

| Video: “one faith “- two words, three echoes – Interview of 3 Post-90s |
| Video: Use one word to describe the Post-90s’- This is your response so far… |
| Video: Impression of The Post-90s’ |
「八十後」之後「八十後」一詞在這個年頭充斥著不同本地媒體。 就反對興建高鐵一事而團結起來的一班廿歲出頭青年，被外界冠上叛逆、激進衝動、不理智、不能吃苦等負面形容詞，而這群「八十後」的好處和優點，都似乎被批評聲音和主觀視角負面演繹所蓋過。 拍著算盤仍算是「九十後」的我，認為「八十後」或是「九十後」都有被忽略的勝人之處，只要找對時機，眼前所謂的劣勢定能被衝破。 外國社會學家Don Tapscott曾經深入觀察和研究北美八、九十年代新生代，他把這社會研究和作出的分析記錄在著作 “Grown Up Digital: How the Net Generation is Changing Your World”中。 Tapscott發現電子科技滲入新生代的日常生活，在數碼中長大，使年輕的一代跟大戰後一代的處事接物方式截然不同。他以八種核心性格來描繪這新一代。其中他提及「新生代重視娛樂」，無論在社交、生活，甚至教育和工作都要有娛樂的成分，正規公事和娛樂之間的界線並不劃得那麼清楚。Tapscott提及的另一點是「新生代觀察品味細心審慎」，他們著緊生活物質，無論對讀書、就業都有期望，會執著選擇有意義、時間有彈性的工作。 雖然Tapscott的研究對象是北美的年輕人，跟香港「八十後」成長的客觀環境未必完全吻合，但其研究仍有其參考價值，起碼總結和呈現了同一時代下的世界趨勢，研究成果可作類比香港「八十後」現象之用。 網絡世界拉近地域，年輕人的閱讀模式、尋找資訊、與朋友溝通的渠道，都離不開電子數碼媒介，而科技上的進步，可以說是造就了本地「八十後」一些異於呂大樂所說的上一代「戰後嬰兒」的獨特性格和技能。 「八十後」成長時候的時間大多花在互聯網、Facebook、Blog、手機短訊、上載下載上……而這一切活動普遍是多種同時進行，使他們熟練多重任務處理（multitasking）。從正面看網絡資訊流通氾濫，某程度上是培養了新生代具有全球化意識，他們大多不喜歡被灌輸資訊，比較愛自行探索知識，熱衷追求獨特生活品味不淪落平凡。主流新生代熱烈參與點到點下載和流連線上討論區分享言論，大概顯示年輕喜歡協作分享，他們亦懂得多面活用媒體。 綜合以上種種對本地「八十後」新生代的性格和特點的推測，他們在未來可能會對本港社會帶來以下正面衝擊：首先，有機會當管理階層的新生代會改革職場，打破工職階級制約局限，鼓勵協作。由於他們習慣在網絡世界的「人人身份平等」局面，他們必定能促進上下屬的意見交流，特顯他們不畏發表個人見解的本色，能激發團體創意。 第二，他們會改革市場，本地「八十後」不僅是未來本土消費新力量，他們還是未來學家Alvin Toffler在著作 “The ThirdWave”中提出的「參與製作的消費者」(prosumers)，喜歡與供應商共同創製產品，向供應商提出對產品的個別要求和個性喜好。市場因此亦能出現更優質的貨品，令買賣雙方從中得到更大益處，達致雙贏的局面。 第三，他們正正被舊有的考試制度所箝制，他們會嘗試改革教室，也許會徹底推翻填鴨式教育，提倡協作和探索學習，以團體專題研習主導學習，令新生代更靈活地發展所長，展示創意。 現在反政府、反建制反得鬧哄哄的「八十後」往後對本地社會發展的影響力的確不容忽視。 |

ThinkSeries Theme Song
Composed by Rose Lee (TS10), Lyrics by Vivien Ko (TS10)
On my own, I can fly, high above, in the sky
Love being alone, I lie
There’s no one on my side and I cry
But I feel someone standing by my side
Oh my friend, because of you all things seem so perfect
I wish our friendship would last till the end
ALL: The sun rises up every time you’re here
Girl: Make me standing strong
All the worries gone!
I want to thank you with all my love
ALL: My friend DO stay here beside I pray
ALL: All the time we’ve spent to play
Make me smile on my way
As what we have said.

Over 400 awardees who were Top 3 in ThinkSeries Competitions (Snapshots, Lyrics and Videos) attended the ThinkSeries Award Ceremony 2010.
ThinkSeries 2010 once again showcased both quality and quantity of entries, with over 3,900 students from Hong Kong, the Mainland and the UK taking part, which bore testament to the enthusiastic response of students, teachers and principals.
The ceremony convened with the performance of Succeed Band, a band consisting of a group of post-90s students from Tin Shui Wai.
The winners expressed their views towards the theme ‘Faith’ through snapshots, videos, and lyrics, many of which demonstrated outside-the-box thinking.
At the end of the ceremony, Rosa Lee from St Francis’ Canossian College, Project Manager of ThinkSeries Leader 2010, announced the 2011 ThinkSeries theme – Dream.
It was a brilliant milestone not only for the awardees but also for ALL the students, teachers, principals, and the 19 Student Leaders who played an outstanding role in running the ThinkSeries Award Ceremony.

These post-90s opened up a new dimension of thinking, interacting, and inspiration. Congratulations!
Mr MT Law | Teacher, Tsuen Wan Government Secondary School
I have to thank Wiseman, Clement Chung in particular, for the wonderful ideas and work done for the education sector in boosting the confidence of not only high achievers but also low achievers, by giving every single student a chance to think smart and be creative while learning English. The platform you provide is certainly a good example for all frontline teachers to help nurture the kind of students we are to shape our next generations. Think with love, think with faith and Think with dreams. There we go together and there we build the generations to come.
Ms Renu Mudaly | NET, Lok Sin Tong Leung Chik Memorial School
Thanks to Wiseman Education for affording our students in Hong Kong the opportunity to use English creatively through expressing themselves via a snapshot, lyric and documentary on the theme “Faith”. While it was a challenging concept to work on, I think the students handled it reasonably well generally.
Ms Nicole Tavares | Faculty of Education, The University of Hong Kong
May I thank you once again for inviting me to such a glamorous occasion to witness the remarkable success of the Awards Presentation Ceremony organised by our young, energetic and talented ThinkSeries student-leaders and the efforts of the other organisers behind the scene, to share the joy of the prize winners whose creativity I’m utterly impressed by, and to experience the warmth and hospitality of everyone present.

Objectives
ThinkSeries Lyrics Competition provides a platform for our next generation to demonstrate their
- global perspectives on how to make the world a better place
- innovative ideas in art, music, sport, language, science and technology
- commitment to our society, the environment, and the world
ThinkSeries Award Ceremony 2010
Over 400 awardees who were Top 3 in ThinkSeries Competitions (Snapshots, Lyrics and Videos) attended the ThinkSeries Award Ceremony 2010.
ThinkSeries 2010 once again showcased both quality and quantity of entries, with over 3,900 students from Hong Kong, the Mainland and the UK taking part, which bore testament to the enthusiastic response of students, teachers and principals.
The ceremony convened with the performance of Succeed Band, a band consisting of a group of post-90s students from Tin Shui Wai.
The winners expressed their views towards the theme ‘Faith’ through snapshots, videos, and lyrics, many of which demonstrated outside-the-box thinking.
At the end of the ceremony, Rosa Lee from St Francis’ Canossian College, Project Manager of ThinkSeries Leader 2010, announced the 2011 ThinkSeries theme – Dream.
It was a brilliant milestone not only for the awardees but also for ALL the students, teachers, principals, and the 19 Student Leaders who played an outstanding role in running the ThinkSeries Award Ceremony.

Ms Winnie Fung | Project Manager, Wiseman Education
These post-90s opened up a new dimension of thinking, interacting, and inspiration. Congratulations!
Mr MT Law | Teacher, Tsuen Wan Government Secondary School
I have to thank Wiseman, Clement Chung in particular, for the wonderful ideas and work done for the education sector in boosting the confidence of not only high achievers but also low achievers, by giving every single student a chance to think smart and be creative while learning English. The platform you provide is certainly a good example for all frontline teachers to help nurture the kind of students we are to shape our next generations. Think with love, think with faith and Think with dreams. There we go together and there we build the generations to come.
Ms Renu Mudaly | NET, Lok Sin Tong Leung Chik Memorial School
Thanks to Wiseman Education for affording our students in Hong Kong the opportunity to use English creatively through expressing themselves via a snapshot, lyric and documentary on the theme “Faith”. While it was a challenging concept to work on, I think the students handled it reasonably well generally.
Ms Nicole Tavares | Faculty of Education, The University of Hong Kong
May I thank you once again for inviting me to such a glamorous occasion to witness the remarkable success of the Awards Presentation Ceremony organised by our young, energetic and talented ThinkSeries student-leaders and the efforts of the other organisers behind the scene, to share the joy of the prize winners whose creativity I’m utterly impressed by, and to experience the warmth and hospitality of everyone present.
I’m looking forward to the opportunity of appreciating the unique masterpieces of the participants in the next round of the Competition and to supporting Wiseman in its meaningful endeavours of bringing the best out of our younger generation.
Mr Aman Wong | Teacher, Immanuel Lutheran College
The students are not merely motivated by the awards. More important are the lives of others that they have touched upon through making these works.

You may think The gates of Heaven will never open for you, And worry they’ll never see, And true, maybe they never will But let’s not worry about that right now – I want to Run barefoot with you into the future with just these muted dreams in hand, Why don’t you try to be like the wind And flip through the book of contradictions Without a single care? |
