When it comes to compensation, most employees in the workforce feel they are underpaid. It makes sense. After all, if you asked your friends and family how they feel about their salaries, it’s unlikely anyone would say they are overpaid for what they do for a living. There are measures you can take to change your financial situation at work and some are more obvious than others.
As more and more young adults begin their higher education pursuits at university, the thought of their future career looms near. Everyone knows that being a university graduate is the first step to obtaining a better paying job and profession later in life, but how do you choose a career now? At this point in your life? Of course, the cost of attending a four-year institution can often come with a hefty price tag so many new university students also want to choose a profession that’s going to be a good return on their investment.

Change is never easy, but it is inevitable. Even if you’ve had the same job description for 15 years, the role is unlikely to be what you first signed up for – nor will the people, the company or the culture be the same. Everyone is motivated to move at some point in his or her career, The question is: what is your motivator? Over the years, I have heard several answers to this, including money, title, work-life balance, challenging work, a collegiate work environment, and a better platform for career growth.
最近哈韓族、尤其各位美女們愛上吃醬蟹，但此物於香港並非能隨處吃到。醬油蟹( 간장게장 )為韓國五大名菜之一，各家各戶均以自家不同秘製醬油生醃蟹。其實本人十多年前在首爾還稱為漢城時，於新沙洞食過一次醬油蟹。坦白說，本人一向並不是生食Fans，當時還鬧出笑話！
現在4月時份，大家都紛紛積極修身，為陽光與海灘作最後衝刺。香港的天氣一年四季的氣溫尚算平均，看似穩定，但事實上可能今個星期穿著風衣，下星期就要出動背心短褲，熱浪隨時來臨。不過在此提提大家，天氣可以來得快，但訓練絕不能操之過急，否則本來的修身鍛煉可是會變成康復訓練呢。

I recently had the privilege of meeting an exceptional leader – one of the few female CEOs in Japan, a country in which female professionals are still rare. This CEO hadn’t followed a traditional path. She studied abroad, pursued a successful career in multinationals, and became a single parent. As she recounted her journey, she emphasised that nothing had been easy. As a single mother in New York, her salary had barely covered the cost of babysitting – so she flew her retired father in from Tokyo to look after her daughter while she travelled for business.
香港社會經濟富裕及健康意識提高，帶動營養補充品市場逐漸擴大，尤其對於繁忙的上班一族來說，經常在外用膳又缺少時間運動，很多時希望借助營養補充品增強體魄，以及補充在日常飲食中未能攝取的營養，但市面上的營養補充品是否真的可以有效地提升健康水平呢？
所謂筍工，筆者的定義是公司實際所給予的回報遠高於你所創造的附加價值 ( Added value )，例如當年「全球最筍工」澳洲大堡礁保育員的主要工作是寫Blog、上載風景圖及短片等，薪酬竟高達半年15萬5千美元！又例如《五個小孩的校長》中呂校長對破舊村校及五名基層小孩的無私奉獻，換來的只有每月4,500元，過低的「含金量」令這份有意義的工作不可能被視為筍工。
