Message
from the
President
Firstly I would like to say thanks to those who
have completed the survey about our desire as HKICC
committee members to improve services for members.
We sent our survey late last month and responses
have been tremendous. I enjoyed reading many
commentaries that we usually wouldn’t hear
about within a regular same group of people. Through
the survey, we can reach out to members who are
normally far too busy but are willing to put forward
great ideas and personally I would like to
implement many of them.
As I have mentioned in previous newsletters, we
constantly need members to help out if they can
spare free time. The Community has grown to the
point where there are certain areas where we feel a
bottleneck such as editorial, marketing, forum, and
professional development.

| What made me trek Everest! My Top 7 Observations |
 |
|
By SK Shum
Anyone who knew me 6 years ago; I was an
over-weight middle aged guy with good prospects of
becoming the next heart attack victim. I weighed 190
lbs with moderate height. By Chinese standard, it
was too heavy and risk of dying was high. I was
depressed with my career at its plateau and had
nothing much to go for. I was a classic example of
a man who kept things to himself and a sample
pressure cooking-pot in the making.
I didn’t turn to any religion at that time
but instead drank heavily. Naturally, that got me
nowhere either. I felt more depressed not knowing
what to do the next 40 years judging from the
average life expectancy of a Chinese man. I was too
tired to do any physical sports but kept to
drinking, eating and sleeping. These were the order
of the day. One day I bumped into an old friend of
mine from my banking days.

How would you describe
coaching?
I like the Chinese medicine metaphor. Chinese
medicine puts emphasis on:
- treating both symptoms and the root cause
- strengthening the person’s immune system
- proactive measures rather than the reactive ones
- looking at the total system (holistic) rather than
individual organs

Dear Friends,
It’s the month of February and there
is Valentine's Day, this means time to
celebrate love. In the Chinese calendar, this month
also brings in the Lunar New Year which means time
to celebrate all the good things. I see
celebrations as personal because how we decide to
treat these events is affected by our
emotions. When we feel happy and
content, we celebrate more wholeheartedly and
our world is bright and hopeful. On the other
hand, when we feel sad and depressed, our view of
the world is gloomy and hopeless.
To feel happy and loved, I think we need to
love ourselves first.
