Scribbles from Su Anne Mi, Director of Asset Management

What is your morning hack for a productive day?

Wake up an hour earlier. Bonus if I can start with a small accomplishment like a workout. 

What’s your super-hero costume and/or accessory that you rely on for the most important business meetings?

A good blazer.  In COVID-times, I’m loving interesting skype/zoom backgrounds. My favourite is The Great Room Hong Kong background—the dappled light and warm colours totally changes the ambiance of business meetings.

What is the best $100 or less purchase you have made recently that have upped your game at work?

I used to be a big notebook advocate but could never refer back quickly to my archived notes. Now I use “Notes” on my phone and computer, sort them by categories, and I can always access it anywhere in an instant. Just $2.99/month for iCloud to sync! 

Dream job?

Surfing and skiing the world with my family

Top read and why?

Shoe Dog by Phil Knight. A few quotes I loved that captured the essence of his rollercoaster ride: 

“Life is growth. You grow or you die.”

“The art of competing, I’d learned from track, was the art of forgetting, and I now reminded myself of that fact. You must forget your limits. You must forget your doubts, your pain, your past.”
