Career Worth Living For!
Can you take risks?
Risky Job
I just returned from conducting 2 days of classes in Zhuhai. From the balcony of my hotel room this morning, I saw these two gentlemen (in the photo) lowering themselves from the roof (6 floors up) of the hotel building to clean the windows.
They did so with no harness, no safety belt, no special footwear nor clothing. And there wasn’t anybody else around on the roof nor on the ground watching over them.
They sure made it look like a piece of cake.
At the moment, I thought of the physical risks that they have to take each day and wondered about the risks white collar workers take. The risks that white collar folks face are emotional and psychological.
I mean, you will hardly get injured physically in the office pushing the pen and pounding the keyboard yet what actually hurts more is the ego and the “face” if something doesn’t go well.
For these two workers, their lives are at stake if something goes wrong.

Oh my God! I cannot imagine this kind of situation can be happened in Hong Kong. They seem like Spiderman but they don’t have any extrasensory powers.
In deeply thinking, did they have choice to choose not to do in this way? I don’t think so. Actually, I do admire of their courage. I think their extrasensory powers should from the responsibility to their family and daily needs.
I’ve just joined CA for a week; however, we have the same faith. We wish all the students can be educated. Thus, we provide training to take our members in a higher place. Let them get a faster way to be successful, contribute the society earlier and make the world better.
I know the goal is quite far away to reach. Nevertheless, I believe No Dream, No Victory. Just like the Olympic was successfully held in China last year, it also started from a dream. If you also have the same faith with us, please come to join us and make it true.
