Why Did I Pay for My Own Flight to Singapore Just to Share at NTU? ✈️✨

Many people have asked me why I chose to pay for my own flight to Singapore to speak at the NTU MBA class 🤔

It’s a fair question!

Even my dad and brother were puzzled, asking

“Daughter, what’s the point? Where’s the return on this?”

In Hong Kong, everyone is focused on ROI—just like I assess the value of every candidate or client I encounter 📊

⏰ I often ask myself if investing my limited 24 hours in someone is worthwhile

So I totally get where they’re coming from.

But the truth is, I’ve already spoken at HKU, HKUST, and CUHK multiple times.

🎤 I don’t want to confine myself to local exposure.

I believe in stepping out of my comfort zone.

If I don’t explore new opportunities, my life will remain unchanged.

With technology, the internet, and LinkedIn connecting us all, I want to see what’s out there

it’s like a treasure hunt! 🗺️🏆

Once you collect a few badges in one area, you naturally want to explore beyond and discover even more colorful ones. 🌈

Yes it involves taking risks

I’m grateful for this trip

I converted my cashback miles to premier miles, making my journey to Singapore essentially free 🌟

I had the chance to meet my followers and connect with amazing LinkedIn influencers there 🤝

I even got invited to tour various offices and clubs! 🏢🎉

These experiences and new knowledge would never happen if I did not go to the trip

What I learned is simple: stay open-minded 🧠

Embracing new experiences leads to fresh opportunities and outcomes in life 🌱🚀
