PROVERBS are like magic. Cling to their noble principles long enough and unimaginable success can be within one's grasp.
Some established personalities recently shared their own personal ''success proverbs'' with the public.
To help provide useful guidelines for fresh graduates embarking on a career, these celebrities joined Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) to launch the station's new TV programme, The New Working Generation .
The eight-episode programme reveals the mentalities of young workers in different positions.
During a switch-on ceremony, colourful balloons marked with the celebrities' ''success proverbs'' rocketed into the blue sky, attracting attention.
One read: ''Do what I love and love what I did''. It was from pop star Anthony Wong Yiu-ming, who believed work that went with one's interest would produce the best result.
''One should be able to take pride and rejoice in one's work, and we should only measure ourselves by our own standards, not others'.'' ''Act according to our ability and do the best according to our capability'' was Legislative Councillor Christine Loh's work ethic.
