Faster, Higher, Stronger – Together The Olympic spirit is cultivated by gritty persistence and determination to reach one’s goal, whatever the obstacles. Ms Lee is a living example of this. She grew up in a small flat in a public housing estate and encountered serious injury during her training, yet persevered to become an Olympic medal-winning athlete. We can all learn from her example. Here at HKUMed, we have built up our global reputation despite our small size in comparison to other major medical schools in the world. We are driven by the pursuit of excellence and the desire to improve health for all. We want to go higher and be faster and stronger. And, in line with Olympian motto, we want to do this in a spirit of solidarity and mutual respect. I hope the Olympic spirit will inspire and motivate you in your future careers and service. Be the best but remember that in healthcare, you cannot attain that goal alone. You need to collaborate with others and bring a human touch to all you do. Let me close by wishing our Olympic athletes all the best in Paris. I hope they enjoy this chance to shine. Similarly, I hope all graduands will shine in their future endeavours. Please keep us in the loop and let us know how you fare! 27
