氣球師 扭出創意 靠靚突圍
本地氣球師Lawrence Ng一邊跟記者傾談，一邊用氣球扭出兩枝花作拍照之用，看來不費吹灰之力。他說︰「你看我造得很快，其實已練習過無數次，經過很多失敗。 」Lawrence最拿手是場地佈置及大型結構作品，由構思到設計草圖和結構，以至要用甚麼尺寸的氣球、充氣程度及如何將氣球接駁等，都是大學問。扭氣球可能你我都識，但要像Lawrence一樣，不時獲邀到外地大展身手，在本地亦訂單不斷，就要靠一雙巧手和細膩心思。

Taking on extra tasks at work can be tough, but it can also add value to your CV
If your boss asks you to take on an extra task that isn’t part of your job description, you can view it in one of two ways: as an opportunity to learn a new skill and gain valuable practical experience, or with exasperation that you are now taking on extra work. Unfortunately there are many people who take the later approach – they may not express it openly but it is evident in the way they complete tasks or their attitude at work. Instead why not embrace the opportunity and see it as your chance to add not only extra skills but valuable experience to your CV?

This week I spoke to a CEO on the day of his retirement from a company he had led for many years. I asked him whether there was anything he would have done differently. He didn’t hesitate. I’d take a longer-term view in my decision-making and be less obsessively focused on quarterly and annual performance.” He mused that, had he taken more time to reflect on long-term trends and brainstorm new business models, his company today might have been a few steps ahead of technologies and competitors that are reshaping the market.
