He also stressed the importance of contribution to the Force, focusing on the big picture and overall benefits. Kwok Sir encouraged the officers to keep up the momentum for life-long learning, receiving new knowledge and applying what they have learnt to their work. He pointed out that language and logical thinking were inextricably linked and encouraged the officers to enhance their language and thinking skills by reading novels.
To conclude his sharing, Kwok Sir summarised his police career with the words “Having honoured and overfulfilled the mission”, and wished all the participants a prosperous career. The sharing session was indeed very inspiring and benefiting for the participants.
