We had a meaningful conversation on various aspects such as future career path, travel and even family matters. Seeing things from a different perspective gave me new insights. <br \/><br \/>Dr Yau\u2019s attitude towards life has impacted me hugely. When facing challenges, he takes a positive outlook, which is something I need to learn to do. This also has me thinking about how to be prepared for the workplace after graduation, of which I have many concerns. I am finding it hard to figure everything out by myself, so after hearing the experiences of Dr Yau I have gained confidence about my future. Also, it is good to learn more about the working life of a professional from a different industry and I am impressed by the daily routine of a doctor\u2019s life. It was truly an inspiring dinner and I was able to share my university life with him. I gained so much from it.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n<p>Mentee Hanry Ng (BSW, right) with mentor Dr Edmund Yau.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;My mentor Dr Edmund Yau and I had dinner in Wan Chai last Saturday.
