Preparation is Separation:
Breaking through from #4 to #1 in Hong Kong Jr. Tennis
Brian Yeung
BrianplayingagainstTulsaUniversityatHarvard
My tennis coaches in college love the phrase ‘preparation is separation’. Indeed, it is true that a tennis
match does not start at the day of the match. Since the age of 12, I have been practicing for 6 days a
week for 4 hours to improve, and it still goes on no matter if I felt high or low. To me, practice is not
only a way to improve my skills, but also a session for me to prepare for different situations, during
matches I hope for my best game, and also am prepared for the worst. I believe preparation is what
makes an individual stand out among competitors.
Here’s a little story of my own:
I was the number one junior tennis player in Hong Kong from 2011 to 2013, but I only became
number 1 after the age of 16. Started playing competitive tennis at the age of 9, I was always among
the top few players in my age group, but never was I the best in it. For a relatively small area like
Hong Kong, being the number 4 and being the number 1 player makes a huge difference. Normally,
the tennis association chooses the top 3 players of the age group to represent Hong Kong, and being
number 1 guarantees the number 1 player spot for the Hong Kong team. It is frustrating sometimes,
having a player who is always on top of you, garnering awards and achievements you could have
7|P a g e gotten, but the will to improve and the opportunity of representing Hong Kong drove me to work
harder. I had private lessons besides training with the team, even though it was already 6 days a week.
I went to multiple coaches, in order to have an extra pair of eyes on improving my game. The most
memorable experience was my 7-week-tournament trip in the summer when I was 14: there weren’t
many tournaments in the summer at that time, and so I had to travel all the way to Syria, Jordan, and
even Portugal, just for the sake of gaining more experience and exposure. 7 straight weeks away from
home without parents for a 14 year old was a lot already, not to mention the unfamiliar environment
and the strong opponents I had to face at that time (I was a 14 y.o. playing in 18 & under
tournaments). I dedicated a lot into tennis in my summers, while all my friends and classmates were
having fun at home. It might be cliché but you don’t gain if you don’t feel any pain, sacrifices have to
be made to succeed.
As the Chinese would say, train an army for thousands of days to use them in a moment. I practiced
really hard just so one day I can stand out and become the best junior in HK. The results came like a
click in a tournament, when I won the silver medal in the China All City Games at the age of 16.
Everything just felt right that week, I didn’t do anything more or anything special and all of the pieces
just fell into the right place. Of course, I still had to practice hard to maintain and improve, but I
believe the determination of preparation was the key to the position I am at today.
HKBN seems to be in a similar situation as I was, of course my junior tennis career is nowhere close
compared to a real life business model, but I think the solutions are all somewhat similar. HKBN has
done a lot on the preparation, investing a huge amount on the fiber network and Talents. I don’t see a
reason why HKBN will not be able to one day ‘click’ and crush competitors, but separating from the
rest would take another huge push of effort.
Even after getting into Harvard, I had to practice for more than 3 hours a day in the weekdays.
Besides that, I had to travel with the team for tournaments in almost every weekend (I had only 3 nomatch-weekends in the spring semester). To most professional tennis players, this training schedule
might seem a little too light, but the fact that I am also a college student makes this mission a little
tougher. Having the breakthrough in the juniors was tough, but maintaining the same level or
improving is tougher, especially with the loaded college coursework. Striking the balance between
coursework and tennis is not easy, priorities have to be set. Most of the time social life might be
sacrificed, but still multiple late nights and all-nighters are inevitable. I even had to take my final
exams in the NCAAs championship venue because the tournament and my finals overlapped, because
of that I had to study even the night before the biggest match of the whole tennis season. As I said
before, there is no gain without any pain.

Monish’s Biggest Achievement to Date
Proudest Accomplishment:
2nd out of 64 in the Boston Intercollegiate Trading Competition
Monish Iyer
One of the proudest accomplishments in my
life was when my team, named Dupont
Chelsea, consisting of me and two of my peers
came 2nd out of 64 teams in the 2014 Boston
Intercollegiate Trading Competition sponsored
by TD Ameritrade which was done over the
course of two rounds over two weeks. Out of
the 64 teams that took part more than 50 of
them were part of their schools’ trading club
and had prior experience in trading. I and my
two peers did not have any experience going
into the competition. The Universities from
Boston that competed in the competition were
Harvard
University,
Bentley
University,
Boston University and Suffolk University.
MonishwithhisteamatBoston
IntercollegiateTradingCompetition
One of the main reasons I entered the competition was because I wanted to challenge myself to learn
something completely foreign to me. The idea of trading at the time did not appeal to me but with an
opportunity to beat kids from other university in this kind of competition while also using this as a
networking opportunity had me intrigued. The only problem was that I had no idea how trading
stocks, options, securities etc. even worked. However I knew I could rely on my strengths of being
able to grasp concepts quickly, being hard working and being very competitive to be successful in this
competition. With this in mind I took on the challenge and committed myself to this.
I had exactly one week to start researching all I could before the competition began. I started reading
everything I could on the internet and was meeting with people who knew about trading to seek out
their advice and knowledge. After one week I knew enough to start trading but still had a lot more to
learn. My team and I decided to hyper leverage our trades in order to stand out so that even if we did
11|P a g e not make it to the final round based on our closing portfolio we could still get in based on strategy.
These were the only two ways you could be one of the 23 teams to get into the final round of trading.
We took big risks rather than playing it safe which was something not many teams did.
After the two week process our team had made a profit of roughly US$1 million, doubling our
opening portfolio. We received an email on the night that the first round ended that we had made it to
the final round based on strategy. The final round took place the following day at the Boston Ritz
Carlton. My team and I were ecstatic and started to cram again about the final round and all the
knowledge that was required for us to do well.
On the day of the final round we went to the competition and spoke briefly about what our strategy
was going to be. We decided that the main thing to keep in mind is not to trade anything we had not
learned about so that we do not start making colossal mistakes. This strategy ended up paying off
really well because during half of the 12 rounds we were told to trade oil (a commodity). We had no
idea how the process of trading oil worked so we just traded what we did know about, the futures of
oil. Knowing our limits and not being overly arrogant was what separated us from the rest as the other
teams ended up losing large amounts because of their commitment to trade the commodity regardless
of their lack of knowledge.
By the end of competition it was announced that our team had come 2nd, by having the second largest
closing portfolio thanks to our hard work and intelligence. I was very proud of our team and myself. I
took on this challenge and was able to come out successful. I also gained valuable knowledge and
learned more about myself. The main thing I took away is when I put my mind to something I am
very capable of achieving it, regardless of how big a challenge it may be.

Derek’s Biggest Achievement to Date
Internship in Estonia-Observation, Opportunity, Obligation
Derek Wong
The biggest achievement of my life is the internship experience in
Estonia. I joined a globally non-profit organization called
AIESEC and participated in a summer project titled Youth Decide
in Estonia last summer. It was a project which aimed at teaching
Estonian and Russian children aged 6-14 some entrepreneurial
skills, such as time management and conflict management. There
are several reasons that I regard this internship as my biggest
achievement.
First of all, I had overcome the challenge which was teaching
foreign children. It was really a challenge to me as they always
got into conflicts between each other and they were sometimes
very cheeky and did not listen to my instructions. I had to resolve
the conflicts and controlled their behavior providing the condition
that I could not be rude to them. More than that, there was a
language barrier and the children were too young to understand
some sophisticated concepts. I could not use traditional teaching
method like spoon feeding. Instead, I had to simplify the
complicated concepts to something they were easy to understand and combine games and learning together in
order to draw their attention. Therefore, I was proud of my achievement which was to take the initiative to teach
the foreign children and hence to inspire them the interests of learning and how big the world was so that they
could continue to develop themselves and grew up.
Another reason is that even though I did not get any salary, I had gained something much more valuable than
paper money or coins. For example, before I kicked off my work, I had been sent to a formal training program
titled “Train the Trainer”. It was very useful and I had equipped relevant and special skills for teaching the
children. The trainers there pointed out my weaknesses and then helped me to improve so that I could become a
more successful trainer and facilitator.
Apart from that, I learnt how to be a good team-player. During the internship, I had lived and worked with the
people who had different cultures and lifestyles. For example, I cooperated with Egyptian, Turkish, British,
Estonian, and German to jointly organized different events, such as Anniversary Party of AIESEC Estonia,
teaching sessions in summer camps, global village with more than 10 countries in a modern shopping mall. As a
local Hong Kong student, I have never lived and worked with foreigners before. Therefore, it was a very good
opportunity to me for personal development. Moreover, I have made friends with the other interns, Estonians and
also with the kids. Up to now, we are still keeping contact and I am sure that our friendship will last forever.
The last reason is that I had encountered several cultural shocks and experienced different cultures. For instance,
Estonians would drink 80% alcohol which was available in supermarkets. They would get over the bridge and ran
to the top when they were 18 years old. They had their own festival called Mid-Summer Day. I was really
shocked about that and it made me start to learn something about risk-management. Also, I had experienced
different kinds of culture during the global village event. It improved my cultural sensitivity and diversity very
much.
After the internship, I am being inspired and have developed a new insight which is called 3-Os approach. 3 Os
stand for opportunity, observation and obligation. Going to a foreign country to experience cultures of more than
10 different countries and to be trained in a formal training program is an opportunity. Looking into every detail
and experiencing different events and hence to learn from that are observation. Shouldering the responsibility to
14|P a g e strike for the best to teach and take care of the foreign kids no matter what happens and how they treat you is
obligation. Combining 3 Os together is the 3-Os approach which is to treasure every opportunity to learn by
observing every detail so as to strike for an excellence to contribute the opportunity giver or the resources
provider as well as the community.
I would like to share this insight to all HKBN Talents. HKBN has provided tremendous resources to develop
Talents. For instance, being a summer intern in HKBN, I have participated in the HKMA Training and
Development Award for Excellence 2014. Also, I have joined the team-building event for the Talent Engagement
Department in the Mainland China. All these events help me to broaden my horizon and boost my personal
development. I want to highlight the point here is that HKBN does not look down on every Talent. Instead, it
chooses to trust you and give you the opportunity. Thus, we should grasp every opportunity to develop ourselves.
You may wonder how we can learn from the opportunity. It is all about our mindset. What HKBN gives the
Talents are the resources and the opportunities to participate in. Whether we can learn and how much we can
learn depends on our attitude. Unless we take the initiative to observe during the events, we cannot learn
anything.
Grasping the opportunity with the observation mindset can facilitate Talents to grow. However, there is no any
free lunch in the world. A company does business and makes money. Talents cannot just take the opportunities
and do nothing productive. Instead, by the give-and-take approach, we should use the opportunity to increase our
competences and take the initiative to strike for the best to contribute the company which is our obligation as
well.
If we can bear this 3-Os approach in mind, it not only can contribute to our personal development, but also
contribute our company to grow and create a win-win relationship.

Vandalic’s Biggest Achievement to Date
From “F” to “S”
Wong Vandalic
When people ask somebody what their biggest achievement is,
majority of them will often link that with trophy or award they
won in some competition. But for me, the word achievement
has a whole different meaning; because it is not something I
have won, rather, it is something I have learned. People make
mistakes; but it is learning from them which really makes all
the difference; and that is what I have done all my life, “make
the difference.”
By the age of 15, I did not really know the importance of
having a solid education background. I would just go to school
because I had to, not because I wanted to. My parents would
tell me to try harder in class. They would say that I needed a
good education in order to be successful in life.
Whenever I had essays or reports to do, I would ask my friends if I could take a look at it. I could never be
bothered to look at the textbook, and tried to answer them all on my own. I figured that life is full of trading.
People would only do you a favor if you could give them something they desired. Hence, in exchange of their
homework, I offered my Play Station 3 for them after school. To be honest, I saw it as a smart thing to do. I
would get my homework done, get decent grades and I would not have to do all the boring work.
The nightmare came when I returned back. I was unable to get into any university because of my poor AL result.
There were 2 options; to work or to study in college. One day, my dad offered me a tough challenge to see
whether I still wanted to carry on things like this. I accepted it and was referred to work in a construction site
for 3 months before entering college. The time I spent at the site was definitely the most formidable one. I
experienced my body covering in dirt, bleeding like a sieve, and, sometimes, I saw the ambulance flashing its
lights at the site. Despite shattered by the hard work, it helped me to realize the meaning and value of hard
earned money. Our life is constantly under construction. The deeper that you dig the foundation, the higher the
building you can build.
I started my Associate Degree with a new resolution. When I looked back and realized everything I had lost for
wasting time, I felt very sad. My negative emotion was often the driving force behind motivation. I started
working hard, setting goals that is difficult but achievable. I am really proud to say that my goal was met. I
scored 3.73 out of 4, the highest GPA of the program, and made it to the Honor Role. I realized that if I put in
effort I would do much better and feel satisfied.
Now that I am finally enrolled in a local university, I have been trying really hard in the past 2 years. College
was an extra step I needed to take in order to get where I want to be in the future. I saw college as a way to sort
of repair my past mistake. Tough times may seem like marathons, but the important thing to remember is that
they do come to an end. “Don’t look at a snapshot and think it’s the whole movie.”

Miranda’s Biggest Achievement to Date
An Uneven Road to Run: The birth of Band Society
Miranda Lee
Students were encouraged to set up societies with innovation but under limited resources provided by
the college. I established the Band Society with another 13 team members who have a common
interest on popular music but came from different faculties. Although I played a role of a design and
publisher, I also took up other duties whenever the team needed.
It was the rule of the College to provide each society with a very minimal subsidy of HK$500 as an
initial fund. It was their objective to drive students to organize projects under limited resources. The
society has to plan ahead for own income and expenses and was run on a self-financed basis.
As I was a Year 1 student, it was tough for me to balance off my study time and organizing activities.
However, I did learn a lot of management skill during the setting up and operating process, e.g.
leadership, communication and promotion skill; also the most practical experience of bargaining
technique especially applied on pursuing further support from sponsors and the Student Affair Office.
Among activities offered by the Band Society for the first year, the Annual Band Show brought us a
big turnaround. Apart from day to day courses and small scale activities, the Annual Band Show was
aimed to promote band sound in campus with amusement; it also provided a platform for students to
perform in front of public. Eleven bands from peer universities and colleges were invited to our stage.
In this regard, it was inadequate to arrange a show by purely the accumulated subscription fees of
HK$7,000. Thus, we sought sponsors in order to run the show under sufficient resources. We
successfully convinced Tom Lee Music to provide full equipment and other sponsors for financial
supports in return to display their names on our banners and leaflets.
I was responsible for designing related materials and promoting the show. Other members also
contributed great effort in various ways. The whole team spirit was high and the achievement was
20|P a g e reflected on a strong participation of audience. They enjoyed by watching the show, tasting free cotton
candy, and singing together. The atmosphere had reached a climate and ended with encores.
We were delighted by positive words of mouth. Our success also led to a confidence to Student
Affairs Office which have subsequently granted HK$6,000 responding our new band room proposal to
purchase a set of second hand equipment from a bankrupt studio and approved a 70 sq. feet soundproof band room to the Band Society in the new building.

HKBN is one of the leading companies in local telecommunication industry. Innovation is critical to
survive among competitors. When the company launches a new product or service, a task force may
be formed to gain benefit from expertise sharing so that creative ideas will be born.
Applying my experience to HKBN, Student Affair Office observed how well we run the Band Society
before bestowing more supports on our proposal of constructing a band room in the new building. The
management would do the same with the task force to minimize the risk of contribution in order not to
waste resources on failed projects or utilize resources ineffectively.
Whenever a smaller scale of plan is successfully launched with satisfactory response, the management
may investment more on a larger scale of business since it will be difficult to apply from the Board to
grant a substantial fund to finance the new project before they can see any profit. And also, potential
risks will be involved with unforeseeable return.

Calvin’s Biggest Achievement to Date
To Inspire Tomorrow’s Leaders Today:
Leading a Non-Governmental Organization – Hong Kong Union for Young
Leaders (HKUYL)
Calvin Leung
Presenting the flag of the organization as a token of appreciation to Mr. Alan Leong, Legislator Councillor of HKSAR and
Honorary Advisor of HKUYL, after his participation as a guest speaker in our leadership workshop
I have always believed that ‘Transformation’ is essential if we want a breakthrough in human
civilization. Since I was at a young age, I have tried to reflect upon my learning experience and grasp
every possible opportunity to shape myself into the person I want to be. From a shy and hesitant boy,
I have changed into an outgoing and decisive individual by reaching out to seniors in my school and
taking leadership roles whenever I am capable to do so.
Involving in Hong Kong Union for Young Leaders is one of the most inspiring experience I have ever
had. I was the participant of their leadership program in high school, and I was captivated by their
vision of influencing young students to be responsible leaders of the society. I then stepped up and
competed to be the Chairperson of the organization. It was undoubtedly a tough job for a high school
student taking the vigorous IB Diploma and preparing to take the public exam. Leading the
committee board, I implemented a few programs including the Global Awareness Project, which
consisted of a two-month preparation for a global affairs congress similar to the ones conducted in
United Nations; the Youth Leadership Seminar, which focuses on confidence and personal
development of the participating students by having a leadership camp and inviting guests to share
their insights at our workshops; and Community Ties, a specially designed service program to
demonstrate that one must be willing to serve before being able to lead. As the highlight of our
service activities throughout the year, we visited different children centres and brought their families
to educational day trips at Noah’s Ark in Ma Wan; organized summer classes with Against Child
23|P a g e Abuse for the neglected children; and had blind people from Dialogue in the Dark to share with us
their obstacles in daily life. As an affiliation of Hugh O’Brian Youth World Leadership Congress
(HOBYWLC), our organization works with HKSAR government officials every year to send
outstanding students to represent Hong Kong in the Congress. I had luckily been nominated and
sponsored by the government to participate in it in the States; it truly was a life-changing week.

Just like how HKBN’s IT department pays attention to user-experience, I also learnt to guide the
participants in different ways that suit their own personalities and needs. Witnessing their
transformation after each leadership workshop rewarded me with huge satisfaction and motivation. I
understood that being a leader does not only mean giving orders to complete certain tasks; it also
requires courage to stand out among others and be the lighthouse in the night. I can proudly say that
my experience of leading HKUYL defines me as a person determined to fight for his goals and
shoulder the responsibility of giving back to the community.
Marianne Williamson, a notable author and lecture in US, once said, “Personal transformation does
have global effects. As we go, so goes the world, for the world is us. The revolution that saves the
world is ultimately a personal one.” I utterly agree with her words. Even in HKBN, I see
transformation. Starting from providing internet service to expanding residential fibre network to
migrating to cloud solutions, HKBN has been striving to provide the best services and make Hong
Kong a better place to live. Yet ultimately, the change starts from within; only by transforming
oneself can one inspire and impact on the rest of the world. To me, the corporate focus on ‘Talent’
development is the most appealing part of HKBN. I believe this internship program will be another
fruitful journey for me after I stepped down from being the Chairperson of HKUYL. I am convinced
that it will transform me into a better person.

Louie’s Biggest Achievement to Date
First Business Experience in the Real World
Louie Pang
(Back row, third from the left)
Shortly after my university graduation, a few of my friends and I have decided to get our feet wet in
the Lunar New Year Fair. As we were working as a rather small group, overlapping roles were
inevitable. In other words, I gained much hands-on experience on multiple fields in operating a shortterm business.
Purchasing of goods is of paramount importance to the fair. My partners and I have come a long way
to finally agree on the finalized inventory list. We reckoned the importance of being unique and
having our original products. At the same time, we were worried about the high risk involved. Setting
the price is another uneasy task. We tried our best to strike a balance between being reasonable and
expanding our profit. Fortunately, the original product caught on and we grappled with this
ascendency to sell the wide array of other goods. This becomes a perfect practice for me to project and
balance potential opportunities and risks. I also had the chance to conduct market assessment. Before
making decisions, I have to take much more than I expected into consideration. The choice of district,
the setting of price, target customers, the location of our booth, our capital and so on.
In order to carry out the above smoothly, we drafted a budget plan. We had to come to a consensus on
the money used in various aspects. Due to the limited capital, the bidding of the booth has already
taken up 1/5. We were left no choice but to strive and make the best use of the remaining capital. To
ensure the money was used in best practice, I initiated a few revisions in the budget plan and
monitored it closely. The pressure of investing not only my money but also the others’ was huge.
During the fair, some of our goods were hoarding. We immediately changed our selling tactics,
reorganized the gift bags and introduced a lottery system. We successfully sold all our goods on the
last day of the fair. I’m glad that we managed to stay calm and did what we had to do. I learned to be
flexible and prudent. After this experience, I was also more affirmed that being overwhelmed and
anxious by pressure would only take me further away from success.
27|P a g e Operating the Lunar New Year Fair required a lot of communication and teamworking between my
partners and me. Thanks to the fair, I had the chance to become a team leader and team player at the
same time. There were times when I was doubtful about others’ ideas and thoughts. Yet, I learned to
trust my partners, have faith in them, and also in myself.
Undoubtedly, I have learnt much from this year’s Lunar New Year Fair. Though the fair only lasted for
a week, the preparation beforehand also taught me a lot. I have earned more than money. If I am ever
going to participate in similar activities, or if I could go back to the beginning of this year’s Lunar
New Year Fair, there are parts that I would like to handle better. Since the workload of every partner
was quite uneven, I would set a clearer table for division of work. To further ensure every investor has
its say in the mini-business, I would like to establish a more efficient communication method. Since
we tended to be dealing with different unexpected situations and obstacles rather than being prepared
for them. I suggest mapping out different coping methods beforehand. Last, though we started our
preparation work early enough, yet, the progress at the beginning was sluggish. We could have done
better and be more alert in time management.
Reminiscing the memories in last year’s Lunar New Year Fair, I feel like re-experiencing it all over
again. Numerous scenes are flashing in my mind, I can see myself anxiously sitting in the bidding
venue, poring over websites of potential goods, fighting tooth and nail to sell our products on the last
few days of the fair…I still remember how enthusiastic and in a muddle I was at the same time.
Though with extreme anticipation, deep down inside, I was dubious about whether our booth would be
a rosy or a fallible one. After all, I am very satisfied with the modest money earned. Thus, the precious
experience and lessons learnt are of immeasurable value to me.

Alexander's biggest achievement to date
The Sum of My Parts: Prelude of Alexander in G Major
Alexander Wong
Alexander winning the APAC badminton trophy even after dislocating his right leg.
In many regards, I am very fortunate to have begun my journey in life with ample resource,
opportunity and a loving family. I studied in a Lutheran International school starting off with English,
Cantonese and Mandarin as a taste of linguistics. I learned sport, music and high culture at the age of
three yet none of this was truly expressed to the fullest. Life was but a blur of tutoring, extra classes
and high expectations from Chinese parents no less. I always saw refining skills as but a tedious,
mechanical counterpart to everyday life until the day my parents divorced.
As a continued academic ace, school sports champion, and a talented pianist, I found myself swirling
into a void of stagnation after my parents separated. Yet in the time that I spent staring at my
luminescent clock wondering what I did wrong to deserve fate, a fire in my heart started to burn.
Throughout high school I met my true friends who were there to help me in my darkest hour. I strived
even harder than before to become an elite yearning the titles of Varsity badminton captain, senior
choir piano accompliment and high academic honors. As a badminton captain I trained my team well
winning our school the international league trophy and 3rd in the local Hong Kong league. As a
pianist, I won a private competition as the most outstanding player playing Moonlight Sonata by
Beethoven at age 13. As a student, I have used lateral thinking and plenty of preparation to keep
consistent success a standard that my tiger mother acknowledges to this day. Now as a junior
undergraduate electrical engineering student at Purdue, I find myself using my lifelong skills yet
again.
30|P a g e In the diverse community HKBN harbors, a multitude of competitive, skilled individuals keep this
company well-oiled and running smoothly. Every decision is well understood, rehearsed, and carried
out like the pinnacle chord on a grand piano. Every department, like a different key on the piano with
its own distinct capabilities, specialties and personality. Each department played with a strong
management like the hammer and workforce like the string making a rich, pure tone. And when each
department works together every moment of everyday, it creates a harmonious melody giving off the
music of refinement and dedication.
As a very experienced pianist playing since the age of 6, I intend to continue playing a beautiful
chorus of notes elegantly weaving every second of time into a cloth of colorful success. I intend not to
make music as a single note as anyone would know that if you tried playing the piano with only one
note, it would be bland and monotonous. Instead I will find the radiant, golden melody of success by
working together with my fellow talents in perfect timing and position. It is no longer enough today to
just be intelligent alone as a strong sound emanating from a single chord played. Rather, it is the
combined meticulous interweaving of many voices together that make a virtuoso piece. And with a
bow, I finish this prelude of me. Until next time we meet, I will personally show you my 1st
movement of skill.
