Meet Joseph

About

Joseph is a 31-year-old who was born in Hong Kong but studied in the Philippines. After completing his education, he moved back to the region with his mother in order to pursue other job opportunities.

Life in Hong Kong

Having lived in Hong Kong for seven years now, it’s safe to say that Joseph has encountered his fair share of ups and downs. For instance, there were countless times when people would treat him unkindly because of his inability to speak the local language. This also made it harder for him to find a job as most companies in Hong Kong require their employees to speak Cantonese. Regardless, Joseph was able to find his footing by slowly picking up their language through his day-to-day activities. He also made sure to actively broaden his knowledge of their culture by befriending his coworkers and forming meaningful relationships with Hong Kongers instead of merely being a passerby.

A Message From Joseph

Don’t take things seriously and just live life. The younger generation nowadays tend to think ahead of time and stress about what they want for their future. Yes it is good to have some form of a plan so that you know your path, but things tend to change along the way. It sounds cliché, but just go with the flow. That’s what I did and I have no regrets in my life.
