Co-curricular Programmes for ALL HKU Students  Foreword/Forward… Moving On! …with patience, resilience, boldness and wisdom…to come through the spectre of the Pandemic step by step. Finally, the f2f semester has resumed without disruption, after lockdowns and much online/hybrid learning over the past few years. We hope you have been enjoying the “normal” campus and student lives, and meeting some new friends offline too. As the world is moving on with more opening up, we have to un-learn and re-learn, particularly sifting through the overload of digital information and gaining some new knowledge and wisdom. For those who are graduating soon, this is probably their last semester, and so planning and moving on to a new path and identity could be challenging. We hope to curate our programmes for you to pick up some seeds to grow in your heart.

To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” ― Albert Einstein “We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” ― Walt Disney “If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” ― Martin Luther King, Jr. “Everybody has talent, it’s just a matter of moving around until you’ve discovered what it is.” ― George Lucas Playlist “A Place in the Sun” – Stevie Wonder (1966) – Jake Shimabukuro/Jack Johnson/Paula Fuga (2021) “There's a place in the sun Where there's hope for everyone Where my poor restless heart's gotta run I know there's a place in the sun And before my life is done Gotta find me a place in the sun You know when times are bad And you're feeling sad I want you to always remember Yes, there's a place in the sun Where there's hope for everyone Where my poor restless heart's gotta run I know there's a place in the sun" “Tomorrow never knows” – The Beatles (1966) “Turn off your mind Relax and float down stream It is not dying It is not dying Lay down all thoughts Surrender to the void It is shining It is shining That you may see The meaning of within It is being It is being That love is all That love is everyone It is knowing It is knowing……” |
