Well! basically, I admire those people make it big in their respective fields and they are under 40. Of course there are some older chaps that I look up to. Some of them are bankers. Some are Actors, Politicians. Poker Players, too. They could be from all walks of life and so my admiration do not just based upon their sound financial success but their appearance, their uniqueness or could be their contribution towards the community, their organization.
Hmmm! so! This week I have Liz Lieu, Andy Lau & a banker, Lee Hock Boon.
Let's talk about Liz Lieu first. Frankly I don't know her till recently. Singapore hosted a Poker Tournament and this acclaimed "Poker Diva" took part in the event. She was featured on the cover with the tag like "Poker Diva", " I make millions and I lost millions". Her young and stylish Asian look attracted me to know more about her. I was wondering she is being labelled Diva because she made appearance at each and every poker tournament as scantily clad models or rather a girl friend of a well known player?
Man! was I totally wrong. This Vietnam born a US girl is a pro poker player. She is young, hot and making millions playing poker. And she shares her winnings with the poor and that one of the reason I admire her.
We use to hear " Life is a gamble".. Yeah... such a meaningful gamble. Bravo Liz..
And next, Andy Lau...the one of the heavenly kings of the Hong Kong entertainment industry. I don't really understand Chinese but I like listening to Chinese soothing musics and Andy's. Being in Chinese-Majority Singapore I am no stranger to commercial fronted by Andy and his movies.
And he is beyond 40 and can you believe how he is so youthful and well-maintained? You may say he is required to do so as he is an entertainer. I totally agree and I am just putting him up as a model so everyone can related to what I am saying.. And personally he belongs to a group of people I admire.
And the last man for this week is less well-known to the industry(Banking) outsider, Mr Lee Hock Boon of ABN Amro's Van Gogh Preferred Banking.
We share the same age and that's it. Nothing else we share in common. Oh yes..size maybe. We both are kind of fat but his pocket is definitely far more fatter than mine...And while I am nobody he is already the head of the prestigious bank. So he is one that I admire. He in not one that making big riding through family fortunes but on his own hard works and under 40.
Hello! Mr. Lee if you ever stumble upon this blog...will you hire me?
You said that "it is not always about intellect. The right attitude and enthusiasm count. And that the banks are always on the lookout for people who have a willingness to serve and eagerness to make things better for their clients."
I do! I do! though I am working in different industry I am always willing and eager serving clients without effecting the bottom lines of the organizations I work for...
