My experience in CEIBS

By Samuel Lam,  EMBA 2004 Class 1

Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation. -- John F. Kennedy

My experience in CEIBS has been both rewarding and memorable. The education I receive in CEIBS has made me a more effective manager and a better individual. The systematic approaches and the real-life applications in the classroom have literally changed my paradigm completely. The compassion for teaching displayed by each individual faculty and the earnest craving for knowledge shown among my fellow classmates have made the whole CEIBS experience unforgettable. Equipped with the world-class educator and dedicated staff, CEIBS has made learning enjoyable and relevant. Furthermore, every student in CEIBS has the potential to redefine the future of his or her company and the future of the country. It is amazing to find out how much one can learn from his or her classmates in CEIBS.

Oliver Wendell Holmes once said "the main part of intellectual education is not the acquisition of facts but learning how to make facts live." This is especially true for all the courses I have taken in CEIBS. Abstract theories and strenuous propositions are presented vividly and precisely in the classroom. The uninteresting facts become exciting when professors enthusiastically embrace real life application in the classroom. I am sure the knowledge I acquire in CEIBS will continue to guide me for years to come. It is a true honor and privilege to be a part of such an elite group.
