Mr. CHOW highlighted "diligence" and "striving for personal excellence" as the bedrock of success. He encouraged students to cultivate a passion for their craft and trust that consistent effort inevitably leads to achievement. Drawing from his own career, Mr. CHOW shared his progression from a construction apprentice to an industry leader, emphasising the value of starting at the foundational levels, building a robust skillset, and preparing for future leadership positions. His early days were defined by embracing challenges, earning mentors' respect and pursuing continuous education, including studies in Public Administration at Sun Yat-sen University, as crucial to enhancing his competitiveness and attaining his current success.

On building interpersonal relationships, Mr. CHOW advised students to foster strong connections with instructors and peers, learn from their strengths, and view criticism and setbacks as catalysts for self-reflection and improvement. He also invoked the spirit of teamwork from "Journey to the West", stressing the need to cultivate inclusivity and cooperation to achieve shared goals with collective effort.

During the Q&A session, Mr. CHOW thoughtfully addressed questions from staff and students regarding career prospects, asserting that the construction industry remains replete with opportunities, encouraging everyone to strive for personal excellence to unlock opportunities and ultimately yield well-deserved rewards.
