This drama tells a story that when the Tang Monk Master and his apprentices returns from the Western Paradise they found the pollution of HuaGuoShan. The four monks discuss then take action. With their effort, the seriously polluted and damaged mountain is changed back to be a clean HuaGuoShan. The drama’s story came from a classical Chinese myth, while it was educated.

At the end, Mrs. Mei Ng praised that the Guangzhou’s college students had higher creativity and imagination than the students from HK.

 

本讲主题为“企业环保精益路，学子求职学习道”。我们很荣幸的邀请到了香港利奥集团的杨泽民董事为我们分享了利奥集团的环保企业精益路。在一个小时的“实话实说”环节中，杨总给我们详细地讲解了利奥集团在环保方面的举措和理念，让同学了解到作为一个全球性的大企业对保护环境的责任感。他强调，环保不是企业的负担，环保是一项长期事业，短期内投入与回报虽不一定成正比，但长远将产生效益，其回报一定大于投入。环保非但不是企业的负担，反而是企业的商机。他指出，社会对产品所应该具备的环保验证的要求越来越高，创造卓越品牌，带来良好的商誉，可以使企业获得更多商机。企业的发展与环保的投入并驾齐驱、相辅相成、互为统一。

 

The topic of this chat show is “Greener Business, Better Job”. We had the honor to have Mr.YangZe Min, the board member of Leo Paper Group(Hong Kong) Limited, as our guest speaker to share Leo Paper’s experience on environmental protection. Mr.Yang introduced Leo Paper’s vision and what it had done to response its duty to environment protection as a global and friendly environmental enterprise in his one-hour’s speech. He emphasized: “Environmental protection should not become a burden of an enterprise, which would take a long time. Though the cost input might not be directly proportional to its return in a short term. However, for a long term, the benefit we had must be more than the cost. So environmental protection is a business opportunity instead of a burden.” Meanwhile, Mr. Yang also pointed that with people’s requirement to friendly environment products are higher, an enterprise with higher reputation and better brand will have more chances. Development of the enterprises and its input to environmental protection should keep in step and act in harmony.

 

在杨总分享利奥集团的环保精益路之后，杨总与吴方老师就个人创业、企业环保和如何择业展开了精彩的对话，杨总说他在中学毕业后就面临着择业，他不顾家人和朋友的劝阻，毅然放弃了在酒楼的高薪职业而选择了自己喜欢的印刷行业里的普通工人。杨总认为在面临择业时，应该从个人需要出发，选择自己喜欢的职业，然后努力做好；另外，吴方老师和杨总也就就业之后是否应该骑牛找马进行了探讨，杨总认为既然选择了这个职业，就应该对它有100%的忠诚度与敬业精神，即使是自己不喜欢的职业，也要慢慢培养兴趣，设定目标，努力学习。吴方老师和杨总富有幽默感和颇为亲切的访谈，博得了同学们的热烈响应。

 

After his sharing on greener business, Mr. Yang had a wonderful talk with Mrs. Mei Ng on how to start a business, how an enterprise should do to protect the environment, and how a young person to choose his job, etc.. In Mr.Yang’s own story, ignoring parents and friends’ opposition, he gave up a job with high income in a restaurant after his graduation from high school. Instead, he chose to be a worker in the printing industry. In his opinion, Mr.Yang though when hunting job, one person, out of the need, should find a job which he/she liked. Then try the best to do the job when you had got it. Later Mrs. Mei Ng asked if people should “Riding  a donkey while looking for a horse”. Mr. Yang said since one person had choose a job, then he/she should be 100% loyal to his/her job. Even facing a job you don’t like, you should also try to develop your interest in it, set up an aim for yourself, and learn to reach it. Their humorous and friendly talk won enthusiastic response from the audience. 

 

在这一访谈里，同学们不但了解到利奥集团的环保理念与投入，还通过倾听杨总的职业生涯路，看到了杨总对职业的刻苦与忠诚，认识到将来择业和就业该如何抉择的问题。

 

In this chat show, we not only knew about the Leo Paper’s vision and input on its environmental protection, we also realized how to choose and face a job in the future through Mr.Yang’s sharing on his career and his loyalty to his job.

 

在“模拟面试”环节中，很多同学都竞相争取这个难得的面试机会。杨总告诫应届毕业大学生们应该沉着稳重、自我增值、勇于创业、把握绿色商机，在受时下金融风暴影响的就业浪潮中脱颖而出。

 

In the mock interviews, students tried hare to win the opportunity to be interviewed by Mr.Yang, who proposed his advice to the students that they should be calm and stable, self-developed, entrepreneurial and finding eco-business chance so that they can stand out from the job-hunting crowd.

 

在最后的手语表演中，番职院的手语协会演绎了“平步青云讲坛”主题曲--《everyone is no.1》的手语版，在表演者无声的表演中，所有观众都感受到了一份无声的美丽，可谓“无声胜有声”。

 

In the last performance, the Sign Language Association brought us a sign-language version of Everyone is no.1, theme of the Green Pathfinders Forum. All the attendants felt the beauty of silence through their performance.
