大學生寬頻街霸 捱八年苦賺百萬創業

街頭推銷寬頻八年賺百萬創業　你有這股毅力嗎？

大學生寬頻街霸　捱八年苦賺百萬創業

馮錦強，好一個驚人的創業故事——

雖然，無論樣貌與名字，他都平凡得像街頭推銷員。

這個中大畢業生，的確在街頭推銷寬頻八年，為了豐厚得令人咋舌的佣金。他試過三個月內賺30萬元，是公司的top sales，連老闆王維基也親自接見他。

在西洋菜街受盡日曬雨淋、同學白眼，他的最終目標是，儲蓄150萬元創業，成立手機程式公司。

三十歲前，他做到了。他設計的app「iSafe」，下載人次至今逾七百萬。

他甚至已結婚，並上了車買樓。

聽說成功有百種方法，其中一種叫「臥薪嘗膽」。

「我試過在一個暑假，賺了30萬元……我只是為了搵筆錢創業。」戰績彪炳的他說。

最長時間的僱主是香港寬頻，因佣金最闊綽。「每張成功安裝的1000mb合約，我可收取1500元佣金；100mb合約，有400元佣金。此外，還有bonus。」換句話說，他每天只要找到三個簽1000mb大單的客人，每月已穩袋13萬元收入。讀者也許會質疑記者的數學水平，每月13萬元？那是每月開工30天才有的收入。Sorry，我無計錯，你無睇錯。馮錦強真的可以整個月不放一天假，「全職三年期間，我只放八至十日假。每逢周六日必定開工，因人流最多，年初一都試過開工，點知條街無人，後來改至年初三開爐。」

去年，他把第一桶金150萬元，成立夢寐以求的程式公司AwesApp Limited。公司現在荃灣的工業大廈租用單位，聘用五個圖像設計師，而程式編寫員連他在內有三人，算是一個小型企業。（節錄）

26/2/1918，跑馬地馬場大火

香港編年史（FB），當年今日，1918年2月26日。
26/2/1918，跑馬地馬場大火。當日下午約三時，跑馬地馬場舉行賽事期間，一個用竹搭建的觀看臺突然倒塌，並打翻臺下熟食檔的煮食爐，火勢隨風勢及易燃物料迅速蔓延，不少人因走避不及遭到壓死及燒死。這場大火共造成六百多人喪生，死者當中過半數為華人。

重覆並用心

Dream. Believe. Creste. Succeed

讓你成功的13個好習慣

習慣(1)：成功者清楚地了解他做每一件事情的目的。

成功者雖重視事情的結果，但更重視事情的目的，而目的清楚則有助於他達得到結果並且享受過程。

習慣(2)：成功者下決定迅速果斷，之後若要改變決心，則慎思熟慮。

一般人經常在決定時優柔寡斷，決定之後卻又輕易改變；成功者之所以能迅速決定因為他十分清楚自己的價值層面和信念，了解事情的輕重緩急，因此能有系統的處理。

習慣(3)：成功者具有極佳的傾聽能力。



傾聽並非是去聽對方說的話，而是去聽對方話中的意思。傾聽的技巧包括：一傾聽時不打斷對方的談話；二把對方的話聽完；三即使不需記錄，你都可以聽出對方的意思；四把所有的問題記在腦海，等對方說完後再一同發問。

習慣(4)：成功者設定「當日計劃」

成功者在前一天晚上或一早就會把當天要做的事情全部列出來，並依照重要性分配時間，他管理事情而不管理時間。

習慣(5)：寫日記。

寫日記的法則：一保持彈性，表達思想而不用太多嚴格規則；二持續；三用來設計你生命價值和中心思想；四記錄每件事的差異化；五記錄特殊時刻和事件；六解決問題；七學習問更好的問題；八在日記上寫下自己的宣言；九把每日寫下的東西在月底復習；十深刻自己的記憶和經驗。

習慣(6)：做喜歡做的事。

習慣(7)：勤於練習基本動作。

習慣(8)：運用自我暗示的力量。

自我暗示就是把目的用強烈的語氣不斷念出聲音，告訴自己，讓潛意識無法分辯真假，因此相信它。

習慣(9)：運用冥想的技巧。

當你不斷想象自己達成目標的情景，潛意識會引導身體作出那些效果。

習慣(10)：保持體力或創造更多精力。

習慣(11)：成功者人生的目標通常是超越自我，立志為大多數人貢獻自己的力量，為使命而並非為金錢工作。

習慣(12)：成功者自有系統。

成功者都有一套方法來整理思想、行為，因此能不斷實踐在自己身上，並且教導別人。

習慣(13)：成功者找方法，失敗者找理由。

成功者願意做失敗者不願意做的事情，如果你能不斷採取以上做法，進而養成習慣對你可能不只是百萬元的價值，更可能帶給你金錢和心中的富有。

APEC pulls out from HK Occupy Central blamed for international meetings rescheduled to Beijing

KEY IDEAS : 1. APEC meetings scheduled to be held in Hong Kong will be moved to Beijing. 2. Some said the move was due to concerns over the Occupy Central campaign. 3. Hongkongers were asked not to speculate. BEIJING (北京) has moved a high-profile meeting of Asia-Pacific leaders out of Hong Kong, sparking claims it fears civil strife from Occupy Central (佔領中環). The SAR government said on Tuesday the change was to ease logistics – but a local politician suggested it could be due to fears of Occupy Central troubles. The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting of finance ministers was scheduled to be held in Hong Kong from 10 to 12 September, but will now be moved to Beijing and "postponed to a new date after late September". The SAR government said the change was also due to the number of events and the broad range of themes and issues. Some meetings will have to be rescheduled to ensure that various APEC events are well organised and coordinated, it added. Beijing told the SAR government of the change on Tuesday. A spokesman said the SAR government "fully respects and understands Beijing's decision". As the APEC summit host this year, China will chair the annual meeting of leaders from the Asia-Pacific region as well as a number of ministerial and other meetings. However, Executive Council (行政會議) member Cheng Yiu-tong (鄭耀棠) suggested the move was related to the Occupy Central movement, with its organisers threatening to blockade the business district if the government's political reform proposals for the 2017 chief executive election do not include genuine universal suffrage. "There are fears over how the movement will affect Hong Kong," said Cheng. "I think that the organiser [the central government] has changed the meeting venue to ensure that the APEC meeting can be held smoothly." Cheng said the switch could affect Hong Kong's image as it gives the impression that Hong Kong is chaotic. However, Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Secretary (政制及內地事務局局長) Raymond Tam Chi-yuen (譚志源) said the cancellation had nothing to do with Occupy Central. He urged the public not to speculate. Tam said the Occupy Central organisers had threatened to launch their movement at the end of this year or early next year. The dates did not coincide with the APEC meeting, which was originally scheduled for mid-September. (The Standard, Eddie Luk, 26 February, 2014) 1. civil strife (n phr) 內亂 2. logistics (n) 統籌安排 3. ministerial (adj) 部長級的 4. blockade (v) 封鎖 5. impression (n) 印象 6. chaotic (adj) 無秩序的

零分的打賭– 司徒永富

最近在網上看到一個頗有趣的父與子故事。 故事中的父親是大學博 士、著名作家及畫家。 兒子是哈佛大學碩士和著名的電台節目主持 人。

大家必會以為父親既 是教授，他兒子必定也是品學兼優吧! 

打開一場賭局

事實上，這小孩從小到大的成績單上只有一個英文字母「C」。有天，父親和 孩子談起有關成績的事情，說:「老師告 訴我，你整天發夢成為像舒馬赫般的賽車 手，而不用心學習，是嗎?」

孩子總是反叛的，對於父親的「挑機」，他反駁道:「舒馬赫是我的偶像，他年少時的成績也很爛,並曾考試零分呢!」

父親說:「可是你卻從來沒有取過零分，每次也只是C.……讓我們打賭吧!如果你能夠取得零分，我就不再干涉你的學 習。」孩子覺得取零分根本沒難度，於是 答應了父親的打賭。

擺脫不了的C級

到了考試，孩子對著考卷想起和父親的打 賭，就胡亂地作答，結果 成績還是C。孩子心感不忿，只好等待下次考試的 來臨。考試又到了，由 於他的目標是零分，所以 他故意答錯所有問題，結 果成績出了，還是得到 C。如是者經歷了多次考試，孩子仍然考獲無數次C級成績。

一日，孩子突然領悟到，父親是用激 將法鼓勵他努力讀書，他為了答錯問題，每次都要先知道正確的答案，不知不覺 地，他就漸漸累積了知識。終於他不負期 望，成為著名的節目主持人。這孩子是劉軒，他的父親就是劉墉。

望子成龍，是每個父母的願望，但很多時，父母都不經意地把自己的主觀思想 強加在小孩身上。限於孩子心智尚未成 熟，有時硬套道理，只會適得其反。親子溝通就像打網球，如果雙方都以強硬姿 勢，不斷「殺波」，輸的一方永遠也不會 服氣。要享受箇中樂趣，便要學懂智慧地 控制快慢節奏，左右方向，配合孩子的性 情來「猜波」。

曼德拉告訴你三句話

不要總在意自己的鞋子不夠漂亮，世界上還有沒有腳的人

他出生在山東蒼山的一個偏遠山村。
3歲，父親染上賭癮，賣光了家裡的一切。
6歲，父母離異，把他丟給了年邁的爺爺。
8歲，因為付不起學費，一年級只上了兩個月，他開始跟著爺爺四處流浪要飯。
13歲，因為一次意外事故，他從火車上摔下來，為了保住性命，被截去雙腿。
（你是否總在說自己是多麼不幸？）

出車禍後，他在床上躺了四個月。他說，他得像個人一樣活著。於是，偷偷離家出走。成了一個獨自漂泊的無腿小乞丐。挨餓、受凍、被壞人欺負，被乞丐頭頭抓起來暴揍，他都挺了過來，他說：“能活下來，真是一種幸福。”
（你是否從未想過走出去闖闖世界？）

18歲時，他突然明白，他要學點本事養活自己，不能當一輩子乞丐。於是，艱難的學會了用雙手走路，賣報紙、擦皮鞋、收破爛••••••他幹了很多職業，卻一定不再要飯。他說，“站起來不是一種行走方式，而是一種人生態度。”
（你是否總在埋怨現在的困難？）

後來，他成為了一名流浪歌手。不識字、不懂樂譜、不懂樂理，他就靠著死記硬背，成為了一名出色的流浪歌手。如今，他已經走過了全國700多個城市。他說，這是世界上最幸福的職業，因為他可以游遍祖國的大好山河。
（你為自己的工作付出過多少努力？）

他喜歡登山，喜歡“山高人為峰”的感覺。從18歲開始，他登上了全國90多座高山，光泰山就登了13次。2012年，他靠雙手登上了海拔總和8498米的中國五嶽，成為全球“雙手登五嶽”第一人。

在他19歲那年，他流浪到江西九江，他的陽光和歌聲打動了這位美麗善良的女子。她說，無父無母、無房無車、無錢無工作、無腿都不要緊，只要你有一顆愛我的心。從此，她開始跟隨他浪跡天涯。如今，他們已經相守相依十一年，結婚買房、買車，還生下了一對漂亮的兒女。

別人問他，你為什麼這麼幸福？他總說，如果有一天，你能和老婆孩子擁吻在五嶽之巔，你就能體會我的幸福。
（你是否真正問過自己，你想要什麼樣的幸福？）

汶川地震發生後，他騎著三輪車，行駛了8天8夜趕到地震災區，為災區義演37場，捐了自己僅有的3萬5千元存款。從2003年至今，他已經為希望小學、網癮少年、進行勵志演講、演唱100多場，捐出善款50多萬元。

別人問他，流浪的日子那麼辛苦，你哪來那麼多愛心？他說，在我要飯的日子，如果沒有那麼多好心人給我飯吃，我早就餓死了。
（你為身邊的朋友和需要幫助的人做過多少？）

2012年11月，他費勁千辛萬苦，終於找到了當年從車輪下把他救起的民警，令人驚歎的是，他和他的救命恩人，竟然同一天生日。
（你是否還記得那些曾經幫助過我們的人？）

他叫陳州。他說：
“不要總在意自己的鞋子不夠漂亮，世界上還有沒有腳的人。”
看到這些，你在想著什麼？

Letter from Dino – 與野生動物零接觸

http://chitchat.hk/visiting-jurassic-garage/?lang=zh

20-11-2013

在暑假，我嘗試了很多事，如去Jurassic Garage丶去Dialogue in the Dark、看了一本厚厚的中文書、一日之內乘坐了所有的地鐵線等。Jurassic  Garage 是一個地方能讓你近距離與動物接觸，而Dialogue in the Dark是一個黑暗的地方，給我體驗到視障的生活。

     

這個暑假有許多難忘的事，但當中最難忘的就是去Jurassic  Garage和去Dialogue in the Dark了！我還記得第一次去Jurassic Garage是非常緊張因為我是第一次觸摸動物，起初我連試也不想試把蛇、蜘蛛、蜥蜴等放在身上！不過看到其他小朋友玩得很開心，所以我最後都鼓起勇氣試一試，原來當親身觸摸到後，我一點也不要害怕，因為牠們很溫柔，後來還愈來愈喜歡牠們，所以現在我常常問父母我可不可以養蛇。而Dialogue in the Dark是一個黑暗環境，但佈置得像我們在日常生活的環境，如：公園丶餐廳丶劇場等地方。但是原來不能用眼睛看著走路是很難的，我們要靠其他感官去探索。這感覺上雖然奇怪，但也很好玩。

我覺得這個暑假過得很充實，感受到視障人仕的生活丶與動物嬉戲丶看了一本厚厚的中文書等，各樣都難忘。我也自己打破了自己的記錄，那種成功感和滿足感是無法用筆墨來形容的。在當中我明白了許多道理，如我有構想時可以和家人提出和商量，之後付諸行動；而我體會最深刻的就是「下次遇到困難，我也不怕，也不畏縮；因為我經歷過黑暗、我克服過恐懼、我創下自己紀錄」。

如果你是學生而有興趣成為我們其中一員，請電郵給我們。( 歡迎以中文投稿)

Letter from Dino – Visiting Jurassic Garage

http://chitchat.hk/visiting-jurassic-garage/

I went to Jurassic Garage (JG) to see reptiles.

     

When I arrived, I was very excited. The show started and the first animals that we saw were the tarantulas. At first I was scared, but the other kids loved it, so I tried to hold a tarantula in the palm of my hand. I found out that tarantulas’ legs tickle. The second group of animals were snakes. They are my favorite animals, but I had never touched them before, so I was both excited and nervous to see them. When I touched one, I was shocked at how friendly the snake was. It was amazing; I saw a few different types of snakes but forgot the names already. One thing I know however, is “SNAKES ARE AMAZING”. The third set of animals were tortoises. I fed them with lettuce. They were slow eaters, so I needed to be patient with them. It is because they enjoy eating slowly. And then the JG staff took a bunny to help finish the lettuce. The fourth types of animals were new born rat snakes; they were so cute. It surprised me that the length of the snakes is just as long as the span of my hand. They laid on my two palms comfortably. The fifth animal wasn’t friendly, it was the alligator snapping turtle. The staff explained its living habitat. They could stay in one place for long time, they will open their mouth and they have a tricky lure like line in their mouth that looks like a worm to attract fish. When a fish comes too close, the turtle can easily snap it. I have seen many animals, but my favorite one is taking pictures with a Burmese python. .It was such a big snake, it was 3 meters long.

When the show was over, I wanted to keep a snake. In my entire life I have been asking my parents to buy me a snake for a pet, but they just say “NO NO no no no no no no……” I wish they will change their minds someday.

Press fights for freedom Journalists demand that CY uphold editorial independence as pledged

KEY IDEAS : 1. Journalists protested for freedom of the press. 2. They expressed concern over the threat posed on Hong Kong's broader freedoms. 3. The government said it would not interfere with editorial freedom. AROUND 6,000 journalists and supporters took to the streets to demand that Chief Executive (行政長官) Leung Chun-ying (梁振英) honour his pre-election pledge to defend the freedom of the press. Police said only 1,600 people set off from Chater Garden (遮打花園), with around 2,200 at the demonstration's peak outside the chief executive's office. The Hong Kong Journalists Association (HKJA, 香港記者協會) said the march was aimed at highlighting what it believes are attempts to silence the media. The march was led by HKJA chairwoman Sham Yee-lan (岑倚蘭), commentator Ching Cheong (程翔) and sacked Commercial Radio (商業電台) talk-show host Li Wei-ling (李慧玲). The Foreign Correspondents' Club, which took part in the demonstration, said it is concerned about what it calls the "creeping encroachment" on press freedom, and the threat this poses to Hong Kong's broader freedoms. British singer Kashy Keegan, who came to town in October to show support to Hong Kong Television Network (香港電視網絡) staff during the TV licence saga, returned on Saturday and joined the march. "I have been closely following Hong Kong news and I learned about Ms Li's dismissal, which was bizarre," he said. "The media environment is much more restrictive here compared to my home." Jenny Ng Pui-ying (伍珮瑩), the consultancy executive who stepped down after criticising the government for refusing to issue a licence to HKTV, made her first public appearance since her resignation. "If journalists are afraid to speak the truth to keep their jobs, we will eventually lose our core values," she said. A spokesman said the government would not and could not interfere with the editorial freedom, independent operation and internal management of media organisations. Meanwhile, Basic Law Committee (基本法委員會) member Lau Naikeung (劉迺強) on Monday accused the HKJA of having double standards and ignoring a complaint he lodged 22 months ago. Lau said he sent an e-mail to the association on April 16, 2012, accusing the Hong Kong Economic Journal of stopping a column he had been writing for more than 30 years. However, the HKJA said Lau had failed to provide the required evidence to support his complaint.

‘Ugly’ food discarded by industry: HK dumps $60m worth of products a year

MOST ‘unattractive’ food is simply thrown away, according to Oxfam Hong Kong. “The food industry often categorises food as surplus products when they look ‘unattractive,’” Oxfam Hong Kong said in its findings. The charity investigated the local food industry. It started the study at the end of 2011. They interviewed 353 food businesses, including 225 convenience stores and 128 food manufactures and distributors. Most businesses (84.6 percent of respondents) claim that they have measures in place to reduce food waste, but 66.3 percent stilldiscards excess food products. The findings suggest that food companies have not fully implemented their policies to cut down on food waste. The report also shows that an overwhelming 90.4 percent of respondents do not donate their surplus food to food banks or charities because of legal and liability issues. Consequently, food companies are throwing away HK$60 million worth of surplus food annually. Oxfam urges the government to clarify legal terms and relax its regulations to encourage food donation. 1. unattractive (adj) 無吸引力的 2. discard (v) 棄置 3. implement (v) 執行 4. liability (n) 責任 5. urge (v) 催促 6. consequently (adv) 因此

Casinos facing licence cuts Media report says Macau gaming industry operators to get 5-yr term

KEY IDEAS : 1. A shorter renewal period is expected for Macau's gaming licences. 2. Licence terms may also be harsher. 3. The Sino-US relationship may affect licensing. CASINO-related shares fell on a media report that renewal terms for Macau (澳門) gaming licences may be shortened to just five years. Macau's gaming industry has entered a stable development phase and it is thus not necessary to give out 20- or 10-year licences, and a 5-year licence may be more appropriate, the Hong Kong Economic Journal (信報) quoted a source as saying. Also, the shorter renewal period is said to act as a political restraining move against US-based operators including Wynn Macau (永利) and Sands China (金沙中國), which are among the six Macau casino operators up for licence renewal in 2020 and 2022. The central government will take the Sino-US relationship into consideration when renewing licences, the source said. Both Wynn Macau and Sands China are subsidiaries of US firms. Licence holders may also be required to invest more in the non-gaming business to helpdiversify Macau's economy during the interim review, which falls next year and in 2016, the source said. SJM Holdings (澳博控股) fell 3.5 percent while Galaxy Entertainment (銀河娛樂) slid 2 percent last Wednesday as gaming-related stocks reacted to the report. Macau's Secretary for Economy and Finance (澳門經濟財政司司長), Francis Tam Pak-yuen (譚伯源), said the government will not comment ahead of the interim reviews, adding that future development strategies will also be taken into consideration. He did not react to the political consideration stated in the report, but said the government is open to suggestions. He stressed the Macau government will firmly adhere to its plan that gaming tables will not increase by more than 3 percent annually in 10 years. Analysts said if the licence term is cut to five years, operators will be severely affected as their huge investments mean they need longer return periods. Licence renewals are also expected to involve harsher terms such as higher tax rates, which may see operators post a drop in returns. Meanwhile, MGM China's (美高梅) reported net profit rose by 17.7 percent to HK$5.33 billion last year. The annual net profit of Macau Legend (澳門勵駿) fell 4.8 percent to HK$510 million.
