On 27 February 2008 Hong Kong Economic Journal.At that the inauguration ceremony held recently, Mr. Sim Lim, an officer of Citi in the country for Hong Kong, he shared his personal experiences with students available. He recommended the students to stay positive and always giving their full commitment to their activities. Lim gave the following speech at the ceremony. Prof. Liu Pak Wai, faculty members of the faculty of business administration at the Chinese Hong Kong, my colleagues at Citibank, ladies and gentlemen and students, good afternoon. First, I believe that every young student assembled here today has been entrusted with an important, each of you is the future of Hong Kong. You can think of the statement? S.A. of? ita of the great, but the truth of the matter is that 'university students are the future pillars of Hong Kong. 'Looking back, Hong Kong has now been reunited with China for ten years. The local management during this period, together with management from the British 99 years earlier, has established a strong foundation for Hong Kong. This small island territory may lacking natural resources, but Hong Kong has an abundance of human resources. That of? the SA of? Thereâ of the water? of? â can make a boat or float? of? the sink, a population can be an asset or a burden. In Hong Kong, human resources are invaluable assets. On the one hand, many countries rich in natural resources such as oil, suffer immensely from turmoil and corruption policies. If the oil is a resource or a difficulty, demand? S.A. of? ita worthy of thinking about. The students are university students who want to appreciate here that the university faces, and the? t of? doesn of the university does. Your behavior, the quality of your work and your future success damage the value and the configurations of UP its reputation. Many employers hope to employ graduates from CUHK. ? s? That's why all of you carry out an important role here, your behavior and performance affect the reputation of the university. The? s? That's why you have to strive to acquire knowledge from your teachers, your door skills and talents to completion, thus bearing the glory to your university. You should believe that this is not an unattainable goal. I have faith in your ability to succeed, just because I have faith that the success of? s? Professor Liuâ add to the reputation of his Alma mater, Stanford University.When that I was in the United States, I sent my children to private schools. The schools were confidential institutions helium, in addition to interviewing students, also have interviewed the parents. I remember that I was asked what I expected from school. I said that I invite the school to teach my children responsibility things.1 three) in languages and communication, I wanted my children to be placed in ways well into the language and communication. They should do a good order of power? English? â reading, speaking and writing that good in? English? â because English was the language of international commerce. Still, I assume that even students of the High School have learned that China was a rising power and its influence was far-reaching, from the Pacific Ocean near all'Atlantico away. As a result except a good order of English, was equally important to have a knowledge of Chinese language. I suppose, as students of business, you already have a basic understanding of accounting. Up to a point, explaining a language is a form of written language. As music layer, is explaining one kind of writing specific language that allows different groups to communicate with each other. With written notes, the musicians can read and play the same part of music without regard to the kind of instruments playing. Also, explain is the language of world business. Knowing the basics of accounting will allow you to read and analyze financial statements. In this regard, the languages that you have to master English, Chinese and accounting. Getting back to private school my children attended, I told the school that I wanted my children to be put in verse well in the languages and be articulated. As in life, not only a necessity? of? of the IQA? of? â (intelligence) but also a? of? of the EQA? of? â (intelligence impressionable) to succeed. They can speak and write equally well important.2) the power of logic the second thing I wanted for my children I was an understanding of logic. That is, I wanted my children to have a strong foundation in mathematics. The mathematics is a subject that is based on logic, teaches how to think, as inferred, how to interpret and reach a conclusion. Of course, as university students, learn many things besides math. But what you need most is to learn how to think, as do the questions. Where? t of? of gives you the answers, at least knows to the core of the matter and ask the right) time management skills questions.3 the third thing that I wanted to teach my children was time management. They should learn to organize their time, to organize their programs. The schools should give students enough work and activities, their education in how to use their time well. Even if each of us has only 24 hours a day, from experience, knows that a person learns occupied make the best use of his time. Relatively speaking, those who often do more free time than those who make the finish more responsibility on the making of more. You can find this surprising observation, but the fact is that exceptional individuals have learned well and plan to use their time. They become over time more efficient. Since? VE of? IA said before, all you have already embarked on the journey to create the future? s? of Hong Kong. ? VE of? Youâ chosen for the field of trade for your future career. Citibank is proud to participate in this process and help you reach your career goal. With this course, I hope to share our experience as essential knowledge by the banking industry. I passed the course modules. The subjects covered are incredibly complete. The large number of service credit when I married, my wife and her friends thought that my work at the bank involving only? of? â which represents? of? money.ico of fact, the trade in banking houses a large number of practices and services. There is consumer banking, investment banking, corporate banking, trade, and sales? m. of? and so on. IA hopes that in that time? of? three months, have a deeper understanding of the bank and get a taste of the financial sector. I assume that? VE of? the fact youâ finance your career choice because? s? ita of your cup of? of? of the â? of? of the â? of? teaâ of something that you can take pleasure in a while try to achieve success in the future. During the next few months, get to know the range of career options and decide which area you wish to pursue. I will say once: the consumer banking activities are quite dynamic. Trade credit card is not boring as it sounds because it involves the application of statistics. Trade can also be very interesting, you see the changes in exchange rates and interest rates while occur through countless computer screens. In banking investment, you have mergers and acquisitions. If the King of? of? youâ in the corporate banking activities, of the ll? of? of youâ be involved with the transaction of loan. The banking activities are an exciting world, some people thrive on the lines of battle while others provide support at the rear. I suppose the next three months, of the ll? of? of youâ get a taste of that banking activities are all about the area and find clothes that you. The commitment to corporate social responsibility as Professor Liu mentioned, for Citibankers, teaching requires much time and effort, is a great responsibility. Invite all members of our management more teams to give their best in this important role, then continuanti of tradition? s? Citiâ culture of corporate responsibility. Among the staff recruited for Citi, there were graduates from local universities as well as the high caliber of candidates from overseas. I believe that the level of talent of local talent to match that of foreigners. The acceptance in this course of banking activities has involved a rigorous selection process. The competition was fierce, only 50 exceptional students were admitted to the program. By the end of these three months period, we can invite the students to join our internship at Citibank. As for the students above, of the ll? of? the wea send them to New York, giving them the opportunity to experience Wall Street. The? t of? I know of gives if? VE of? youâ of been there before, but can work in the field of Finance on Wall Street as it gets exciting. The Council for students who opt for a career in banking remembers studying hard, does a good job and savor the experience of learning. As official of the country of Citi, one of my philosophies is that the I always make sure that my management team look forward to their time spent working. Apart from the hours of sleep, my staff spends most of their working time. Where? t of? the didnâ enjoy their work, would be miserable. So when studied, appreciate the process. When? of? youâ with the reference to passionate about something, enthusiasm follows. Enjoy what you do and your passion will grow only. My advice is, whatever you do, to invest energy and commitment and I guarantee that the ll? of? youâ of it. My general attitude is, if the work is interesting or not, regardless of the fact that? s? ita of that challenge, it does well. Although? s of that? of the ita? VE of? youâ of the easiest thing he learned, you should understand the essence so well that if you close your eyes? of? youâ with the reference to able to explain it inside and out. Once you grasp the basic principles, even if you forget later, your logic will lead him back and allows them to use in different applications. Finally, the? m. of? IA is beloved that those of you present here have done to this course of banking activities. I hope that? of? youâ with the reference to provide the learning experience exciting three months ahead. I hope the il? of? of youâ can acquire valuable knowledge and learn from the Citibankers, who comes to you CUHK
