10月10日書院聚會──就業發展講座
十月十日上午，書院假鄭棟材樓C1講堂舉行「就業發展講座」，蒙 權智(國際)有限公司主席、書院校董及校友譚偉豪博士擔任演講嘉賓。譚博士以「網絡的力量」為講題，和同學分享「成功之道」。
譚偉豪博士首先提出成功是要靠 "運氣" (LUCK)，這包括了Location(地方，例如本地、海外)；Understanding (了解局勢)；Connection (關係網絡)和 Knowledge (學習知識)。除了 "LUCK"，譚博士認為成功者還要懂得 "借力" (Leverage)。而要 "借"，先要有 "誠信" 和有膽量去 "借"。
譚博士又提醒同學互聯網世界改變了全世界的「工作分配」。在互聯網的新世代裏，未來成功人士的質素是要着重右腦的使用，要掌握幾種技巧，包括要有同情心、同理心、懂得 "玩耍"(有創意)、懂得 "說故事" 以致能感染別人。譚博士希望同學能活出有意義的生命。
10 October College Assembly–Career Development Talk
A Career Development Talk was held in the morning of 10 October 2008 at Lecture Theatre C1 of T C Cheng Building, United College. The College was honored to have Dr Samson Tam, Chairman of Group Sense (International) Limited, College Trustee and Alumnus, to be the guest speaker. Dr Tam spoke on the topic "The Power of Network" and shared with students "the road to success".
Dr Samson Tam suggested that to be successful, one needs "LUCK", which stands for Location (local or overseas), Understanding (the situation), Connection (social network) and Knowledge. It is also important to know how to "Leverage", which requires "trustworthiness" and courage.
Dr Tam further reminded students that division of labour in the world has changed in the age of internet. The next generation leaders need to develop the use of their right brain, which requires skills like sympathy, empathy, creativity and the ability to "tell stories" and to move others. Dr Samson Tam wished our students to have meaningful lives and successful careers.
