When first coming to Hong Kong, you notice that the mass population of Hong Kongers ride public transportation; When using this transportation, you start to understand why.

For one, whether it be the MTR trains or the little greens busses, these public transports are almost always spotless. They keep the busses and trains clean through routine cleans and disinfections, and it shows! You also will never see anyone eating food on the bus or train because it says not to (honestly try to find one person; you won’t). These transports are extremely clean because the people riding them are extremely grateful for having transportation that is so accessible and comfortable.

Aside from the transportation being so inexpensive and clean, it is also very reliable. The MTR trains are proven to be on-time 99.7% of the time, so if you are late for work, you cannot blame it on the train. The busses are also pretty accessible considering how many of the same types of bus they have in circulation on the streets.

Another big reason why people use public transportation is because owning a car is too expensive in Hong Kong. The extreme auto-tax, insurance, fees, tolls, and gas accumulate to make owning a car not worth it, but that is not the worst part. With such an extremely dense area, it is a head ache finding a parking spot for your car and it will definitely cost you significantly monthly. For these cars, upfront payments are huge, and the ongoing payments are sizable as well.

Bottom line is, take the public transit in Hong Kong. Everyone does it! It’s clean, safe, accessible, and cost efficient. The MTR is also the easiest ways to get to our SheungWan and WanChai locations.

Trust me, your Octopus card will be your best friend in Hong Kong!

 

In these seven simple steps, you are guaranteed to change the way you professionally interact with others for the better!

1. STRIVE TO FUFILL PERSONAL GOALS- strive to become a better manager of others. Set that as a goal. Try to work on this and be persistent everyday. Even when you think you have reached this goal, do not stop and continue improving with the same strong ambition.

2. FULLY INVEST IN YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH OTHERS- Invest in genuinely trying to connect with other individuals. This will assist with the development of collaborative and healthy working relationships.

3. WHILE ASSERTING AUTHORITY, ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOU INCORPORATE FAIRNESS- Look to leave lasting and meaningful impressions on people by approaching them with intentions of mutual respect and reciprocation of being valued. Try to get your point across while asserting your position, but do not express it in a way that leaves the other person feeling demanded.

4. KEEP YOUR PATIENCE- Whenever feeling frustrated with an individual, think about the actions you want to take and play them out in your head; do not run on a short fuse. Don’t do something that you wouldn’t like being done to yourself. Do not put yourself in a position where someone would be scared to interact with you.

5. ALWAYS STRIVE TO KEEP LEARNING- In such a changing world, only the most adaptable survive. These people are the ones that keep themselves updated with the newest technologies, news, and advances. There is always room to learn in a world with so much to offer, and those that maximize their knowledge, are the ones that strive to better themselves. This allows you to be up to date in conversations with others and engage yourself with knowledge of different fields.

6. SELF REFLECT AND INTROSPECT- Be willing to have someone tell you what areas you need improvement in. It is very hard to improve when you do not know where to start improving. Combine this with a bit of self reflection to really pinpoint the areas that you want to start changing for the better!

7. BE ENTHUSIASTIC- Show that you are excited and happy to be doing what you do. Your enthusiasm not only helps you love your job, but also translates over to others to make a healthy work environment. Showing your enthusiasm in the workplace engages the people around you to overall perform on a more attached level to their work and identify better with their job.
