Ping-pong persistence

Wednesday, May 21, 2008

As a Chinese saying goes, everybody is a born with talent. But no one can be perfect and in that respect everybody is a loser.

I always lose at the ping- pong table, said Hang Sengs vice chairman and chief executive Raymond Or Ching-fai yesterday at the Hang Seng Table Tennis Academy 2007 graduation ceremony.

But you can learn from my persistence, I continue to play it after repeated failures, Or said in front of more than 150 HSTTA students.

He told the students there are always wins and losses in life, so always try your hardest and dont be ashamed of losing.

Or is also a big fan of golf. If the bank were to sponsor a golf school, would he demonstrate the talent he was born with on the course?
