一位老教授問一學生說，『人到何時纔堪稱富？』
學生回答說，『若是他有一萬元？』老教授說，『不。』
『若是他有兩萬元？』學生又說。老教授仍說，『不。』
『十萬元？』『不。』
『五十萬元？』學生以為此數目已經很大了，但是老教授仍舊說，『不。』
學生惘然，無所再答，對他說，『我不知道，我不再說了。』同時要求教授發表他的意見。
老教授回答說，『世人每每盼望比他所有的更多一點，因此人無稱富之時。』
主耶穌說，『凡喝這水的，還要再渴。』（約四13。）

It's all about the win
Dear friends;
-
On 29th March 11, it was the most important day to me and was indeed crucial to my career path, this day an interview was held in the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department. Before the interview, I tried and used any way to get away from the exam pressure; a favorite movie plus a delicious dinner on Exam eve were the way for me to forget temporarily the stress.
-
Being a winner was not easy these days, I had to bury my nose in the book day in and day out in order to stay ahead and to win the oral exam in the interview. A 4-day annual leave on 24th, 25th, 28th and 29th (exclusively Saturday on 26 and Sunday on 27) was approved as study for the exam. During these days, I missed out so much happening around me (such as the latest news about the earthquake incident in Japan, and the evolution about a one-off-grant refund of $6,000 to each citizen from HK government) as I only focused on how to face the oral exam. There were other interesting things so close to me but I was too busy at these days to stop and to treasure them. Definitely these days I just felt suffocated so that why I needed to have a favorite move and a delicious dinner to lower the tension on Exam eve.
-
Before going to the hell (the so-called 4-day study leave), I had chosen for myself a favorite movie (movie name: Beastly) in the evening of 17 March after office, enjoying movie is actually one of my favorite pastimes, especially with good interest to the Hollywood made film. Going to the cinema can take me away for the time being from reality and can relax my soul. The movie (say Beastly) is so well-liked in USA and in HK; its lovely story could help me forget the exam pressure.
-
After the movie, I joined in a special dinner with my friends in the 18th evening, we ordered in rough several dishes (oyster congee, Chiu style oyster pie, and roast duck) and beers to celebrate a living hell that came along with preparing for the oral interview in EMSD. That night was indeed happy, definitely was, it was.
-
The day 1 (24th Mar 11) I went back to the library of the HK Polytechnic U for my 1st day study; I boldly rescheduled my original review table and slightly changed the study plan for the coming three days. It’s a true that the priority of a candidate is to acquire technique and do well at the oral examination. For this, I thought of an important open sesame to help me easy keep those boring regulations, code of practice and information in mind, that was reading loudly to the books, of course a quiet place (such as a small garden which is quite near the “A CORE” building in the University) could be giving me a space which is free from the students, the garden, growing beautiful flowers and shrubs, is far from the library and it is always, always a consideration to me in preparing my speech before presentation.

Around 5:00pm, my oral exam in EMSD was completed, the first thing I needed to do was to go to the fast-food restaurant for my lunch, I ordered a noodle mixed with luncheon meat and double eggs, and of course a favorite ice-tea was. Personally, I was satisfied the whole exam as I had tried my best to it.
-
Fortunately, I received a government letter on 8 April 11 and informed me that I passed in the oral exam and I has been included in the registers of lift engineer and escalator engineer kept under section 5 of the Lifts and Escalators ordinance, chapter 327. My RLE No. is L418, and REE No. is E390. I sent at my first time short message to all my friends about this good news and thanked to them for teaching me, training me and helping me in this exam. Else a best friend I have to thank to her, she is called “Diligence”, she has been accompanying me on day-in and day-out in the study period, Ms Diligence who has ever left from me a several years ago but she comes with me again when I need her. Ms Diligence who also introduced her best friend to me, she is called “Humility”, I brought her together in the exam place, my success is that she always reminded me to hear and response to the examiner carefully
-
Coming down to the earth, my success is not only because I have made friends with “Diligence and Humility”, but a team of good friends at my back here.
