Samuel Chan Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Web and Multimedia Development Stream, 2014-16)

Two years ago, I did not do well in the examinations and could not continue my studies in university. I was worried and did not know what to do, just like how you are feeling at this moment. However, I stumbled upon this quote and it changed my whole mentality on my situation: “Life always has its ups and downs. If it doesn’t, you are dead.” To me, this quote means that it is normal to succeed or fail in life. Without failure, one would not be able to treasure the success he has achieved and the same goes to the other way. With this in mind, I decided to look and apply for higher diploma programmes to further my studies. In the end, I picked the Higher Diploma in Information Technology programme offered by HKU SPACE CC and learned the keys to success in studying through the two-year programme. One of the ways to success is to choose to study a programme that interests you. Of course, nobody likes to study, but a course you are interested in will be much more preferable than one that you hate. In addition, you will feel more motivated towards the course as you want to be more familiar about the subject. Motivation will definitely help you achieve your goals, whether it is studying or working on assignments. Hence, if you are not sure of what subject that you are interested in, then give yourself some time on this website and look for a programme that you will have the most interest in studying and apply for it. Another key to success is to use your time wisely. Everyone has 24 hours a day. How you use those hours is all upon you. If you find a subject challenging, then spend more time studying on that specific course. If more hours invested on it and it still does not do the trick, then asking lecturers for assistance will be another option. Remember, lecturers are the best resources available to you. Use this approach wisely. Last but not least, the key to success is to learn from your mistakes. “You can’t let your failures define you. You have to let your failures teach you.” You may have failed before, but many successful people fail all the time. What is important is that you learn from your mistakes and never make the same mistakes again. View Details
