Jophennie Mun Ming Shing

BACHELOR OF COMMUNICATION (HONS) BROADCASTING

Batch of September 2011

我是毕业于2011年拉曼大学学士媒体系，主修电视电影，副修广告策划。我感到很荣幸，校友会给我机会分享我的成长经历。一路以来，我的梦想就是拥有自己的事业，能够帮助人，同时能让我与我的家人拥有良好的生活素质。

I graduated from Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) back in 2011, studied Bachelor of Communications (Hons) Broadcasting. I am honored that UTAR Alumni give me this opportunity to share my growing experience with my fellow alumni. All this while, my dream is to have my own career, able to help people, and let myself and my family enjoy good quality of life.

毕业后的一年里，我一直不断地在寻找着适合自己的道路。在一个机缘巧合下，我遇到了我现在的两位老板。当时我还在犹豫，我应不应该踏入金融这个行业里。最后我决定给自己一个机会去挑战。这五年里，一路走来也不算容易，但一直能让我坚持下去的信念是 Pay it forward，还有在我背后支持我的老板和我的伙伴们。我们的公司，Avantiz Advisory 的理念就是训练有潜质，真诚的年轻人成为专业的财务规划师，让我们的客户都可以得到最适合他们的规划。公司的文化就是有话直说，遇到不满的事情大家可以当面说出来讨论但不能收在心里。在公司里，每一个人都会真心对待彼此，我们拥有共同的目标，为了心爱的家人，一起打拼，一起学习和成长。

So, within a year after my graduation, I have been constantly searching for a suitable path. Coincidentally, I met my two current bosses who introduced me financial industry. In the beginning I had doubt whether I should venture into a different industry, but after much hesitation I decided to take this challenge. For the past five years, my path has not been easy, but what kept me going were my belief in pay it forward, as well as support that I got from my bosses and teammates. Our company, Avantiz Advisory's philosophy is to train talented young people to become professional Financial Entreplanners, so that our clients can get the most appropriate financial planning. Our company culture allow us to openly talk to each other. If we encounter any dissatisfaction, we can talk face to face without keeping inside our heart. We treat each other sincerely. We share common goal and we work hard for our beloved family, together we learn and grow.

Avantiz引进了新加坡的培训系统，能让一个对金融毫无概念的新生儿，可以在短期内学习成长，成为一个财务规划师。在培训过程，会有机会到国外交流学习，例如新加坡，台湾，香港，印尼等等。从中，我认识到不同国家的文化，扩大了我的视野。同时也认识到不同国家的财务规划师，他们大部分都是专业人士，例如精算师，律师，飞机师，甚至医生。从他们身上，我看到金融行业的未来。而我也看到马来西亚的保险业都在逐渐进步中，而这个行业最需要的就是和我的团队拥有一样理念又肯努力的有心人。

Avantiz introduced Singapore's training system, allowing a fresh graduate with no knowledge on finance to grow and become a Financial Entreplanner. Through training, I have the opportunity to exchange learning abroad, such as Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Indonesia and so on. From there, I learned from the culture of different countries and it expanded my horizon. I have also get to know financial planners from different countries, most of whom are professionals, such as actuaries, lawyers, pilots, and even physicians. I see the future of the financial industry through them. I notice insurance industry in Malaysia are gradually progressing, and this industry needs people with heart, who share the same belief and willing to work hard, just like my team.

其中影响我最大的是在新加坡的一项慈善活动，Hair for Hope. 这是一个儿童癌症醒觉活动与筹款，可以帮助小朋友的医药费。为了让更多的人可以支持与帮助这些癌症儿童，我和我的团队决定一起?剃光头?！Hair for Hope, 让我领悟到这个行业的美丽，听着癌症小孩的经历和他们家属的坚持，让我觉得他们很勇敢。而我们的一个小小行动就可以鼓励他们，我觉得这一切都很值得。同时这也让我领悟到我们的存在及我们的使命可以帮助和影响更多不同的人。

One of my experiences that influenced me alot was my participation in a charity event in Singapore, Hair for Hope. It is a head-shaving event serves to raise fund and awareness of childhood cancer. To encourage more people to support and help these children with cancer, my team and I decided to shave our heads bald! This experience made me see the beauty of my career. When I listened to the cancer children's sharing on their fighting experiences and how their families support them, I think they are really brave. Just a small action we already can give them encouragement. It is all worth it! It makes me realized that our existence and our mission can affect lots of people.

除此之外，我们提倡健康的生活方式。为了改变现代城市人的社会病态，我们经常会邀约不同的朋友跟我们一起运动。

In addition, my team has been promoting healthy & vitality lifestyle. In order to improve morbidity in modern society, we often invite different friends to participate in sports-related activities

我人生做的最对的选择便是加入Avantiz。它给予了我和我身边的人，拥有优质的生活素质。团队伙伴们的用心，让我愿意打开我的心与身边的人沟通。而这样的改变，让我和家人朋友之间的感情变得更好。在追求梦想途中，我拥有这么多人的支持与陪伴，是我在这条路上持续坚持的动力。能拥有今天的小成就，我想尽我的能力回馈这个社会和鼓励更多的年轻人。

The best decision I have made in my life is to join Avantiz. It benefits me alot, and allows me and my family to enjoy quality of life. Since then, I am willing to open up my heart to communicate with people around me. Such change made me got along very well with my beloved family more than ever before. While I am pursuing my dream, my main driving force comes from the support I got from people around me. With my small achievements, I will do my best to contribute to the community and continue to give encouragement young people.

感恩校方给我们团队机会参与大学举办的就业博览，希望借助就业博览把Avantiz 介绍给更多的人，鼓励年轻人要勇于追求自己的梦想。

I am so grateful to my university for giving us the opportunity to participate in career fair. I wish to introduce Avantiz to more young people, encourage them to pursue their dreams.
