🐘 If it’s the ONE THING you do today, make a pledge to NEVER ride an elephant or buy ivory again. Please. 🙏🏻
Speaking at the Counter Wildlife Trafficking Partnership Forum this morning on what one person can really do in terms of inspiring change, maximizing reach, mobilizing support, and sustaining movements in order to tackle wildlife trafficking and preserve our environment.
Extremely honoured to share the panel with Venerable Maha Sompong Talaputto, Buddhist Dharma Teacher, Justice Michael Wilson from the Hawaii Supreme Court, Le Thi Thu Thuy from the Vietnam chamber of commerce and industry, and John Roberts, Conservation Director of Minor Hotel Group.
✨ Main takeaways ✨
- influencers, celebrities and content creators have power to influence and inspire change through their platforms and personal choices by making responsible choices and leading by example.
- religious leaders can be powerful influencers to dispel myths that wild animal parts have magical or spiritual powers.
- businesses and tourism sector can do more to promote sustainable activities and environmentally friendly holidays for the public in order to raise awareness and promote conservation efforts.
- the rule of law is still a powerful vehicular for change and should be used more effectively in order to bring about climate justice and action.
- real and decisive action needs a collaborative effort from all sectors, private, public and government.
*Don’t limit yourself to a label or put yourself in a box before you take action. Everyone has the power to make a difference.

What’s free is the most expensive | Lee Yee
Last week, Carrie Lam announced that the Central government will support Hong Kong’s fight against the epidemic in several large initiatives, including universal screening, earmarking AsiaWorld Expo as a holding treatment facility, and the construction of the makeshift hospitals, all cost to be borne by the Central government.
Such “good deeds”, shouldn’t society respond with great enthusiasm? But according to Carrie Lam, there are voices in society trying to divide the public and the government, “Every time (the government) does something, it will be discredited by some people with conspiracy theories,” and asked the media to “join (the government) in the call on citizens to participate in testing.”
Distorting facts is what discrediting means, but some facts cannot be denied, for example:
● Nationally-approved testing personnel have been exempted by the government from the requirement to register for medical laboratory work in Hong Kong. China’s BGI (formerly Beijing Genomics Institute) will process the samples from the citywide screening. Its chemists are not registered in Hong Kong.
● BGI is a listed company in Shenzhen responsible for collecting and analyzing the “national gene bank”.
● In July 2020, two companies under BGI Group were included in the sanctions list by the U.S. Department of Commerce for “suspicion of forced collection of DNA of Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities for research in order to suppress Uyghurs.”
● On Aug. 14, a multinational biotechnology company filed a lawsuit with the High Court against BGI, accusing it of infringing upon a gene sequencing kit patent. GBI’s trustworthiness is in line with the level of many other Chinese companies.
● Some medical professionals believe that under the current condition of border and market non-closure, doing universal screening alone is not helpful. The public’s acceptance of testing increases the risks.
Faced with these facts, it’s evident to the public how many will be tested voluntarily. Moreover, the effectiveness of screening has been questioned by regions who’ve successfully stopped the spread of the virus, including Taiwan.
Because of China’s support, Hong Kong is not paying. As such, Carrie Lam and her cabinet have relentlessly professed their gratitude towards the Central government.
Japanese writer Isaka Kotaro said, “Nothing is more expensive than free.” A few years ago, Chinese entrepreneur Jack Ma also repeated the same thing, “free is the most expensive.” Why the most expensive? Because the price you pay is time, privacy, health, freedom, these seemingly intangible things, our most precious wealth. From the collected samples, a chemist can obtain one’s DNA, some very sensitive and personal privacy information.
We would rather pay for what we need, rather than the free things given. If the three anti-epidemic initiatives were paid for by the government, it will be necessary to get LegCo to approve the funds. In the process, at least the government and BGI or other institutions must go through negotiations that must be disclosed, rather than operating within a black box. If the three initiatives were to invite bids from Western countries, there will not be viral conspiracy theories or “smearing” remarks on social media.
The Carrie Lam regime has been accusing the United States and other Western countries of adopting “double standards” for Hong Kong in recent years. For example, the US police force also used violence against the protesters, many countries have national security laws, and other countries have postponed elections, etc., why only criticize and sanction Hong Kong?
Regarding the behaviors of people, society, and countries, we should adopt the same standards for judging and commenting, but the premise is that the other party is a person, society, and country with certain standards. We respect people from anywhere, but that does not equate respecting people who have no standards in words or deeds, and do not respect themselves. Many countries have national security laws, but behind which most countries have legislative procedures that are fully authorized by public opinion, and are restricted by the judiciary and independent media and public opinions. How is a national security law with absolute powers without checks and balance comparable to those in these other countries? Many countries allow a certain degree of police violence on protesters, but there are other mechanisms to restrict them, such that improper police violence will be followed by legal consequences.
Under autocracy, power is the single most almighty thing, accompanied by no “standards” whatsoever, whether professionally, or behaviorally of those in power and their people. Autocracy does not comply with universal standards. The standards used on those people and regimes with standards cannot be adopted on those people and regimes that do not. Facing those without standards, the natural human instinct is distrust.
responsible person example 在 考航空好簡單 Facebook 的最佳貼文
「反敗為勝」的航空面試答案才是你需要的
面試第一句,往往是航空公司主考官認真聽的話?
先嘗試回答,再看自己的回答是差,一般還是好哪一種?
瞭解面試官真正想知道的是什麼,才能回答切中要領。
"Tell me about yourself."�考官想知道:你為什麼適合這份工作。
(差)My name is George. I am 25 years old. I just graduate from XX university….
(一般)I have worked in XX restaurant for 2 years .
(好)I believe that I am the best candidate for this position because…
(好)When I was working in service field, I realized that my career goal is…
你的名字、工作都寫在履歷上了,面試官最關心的也不是你的學歷,從最驕傲的部分開始,你的個性、能力、成就來證明你是最適合的人。
"How would your colleague describe you?" �考官想知道:你的人際關係如何?
(差)I never thought about that ?
(一般)They might say that I'm easy going and responsible .....
(好)My colleague would say that I am considerate and trustworthy. For example….
負責,隨和都太一般,說出你的同事為什麼覺得你體貼,值得信賴,主動舉出實際經驗更有幫助。
"What is your shortcoming?"�考官想知道:你的弱點。
(差)I am afraid of mice and cockroaches
(差)I'm too much of a perfectionist sometimes.
(一般) I am easy to get nervous.
(好). I am impatient person, I always ask myself finish the task as soon as possible which gave me pressure sometimes and influence my life.
最扯的是怕小動物?這是缺點?把考官當笨蛋嗎?
硬把優點說成弱點,讓考官覺得虛假、無法意識到自己的問題。然而緊張雖然可能是缺點,但考官聽太多了,因為大部分的人都有,回答應該要誠實:合理說明自己的弱點。
"What is your parents’ opinion about you want to be a flight attendant ?"
考官想知道:你是否得到家人的支持?
(差) My parents support me very much.
(一般)My parents always respect my decision .
(好)My parents thought that my open-minded , considerate and dynamic suits this job ......................
這個題目一出來9成以上會說支持,但有幫助嗎?考官真的相信嗎?父母尊重決定也沒有幫助?倒不如藉由父母來向考官推銷自己的個性,因為父母是最了解自己的人,才是「反敗為勝」的關鍵。
以上這些面試答案都必須「量身定做」!因此只有一對一輔導才是你真正需要的!
