The Secret of Life: David Tang at TEDxHKUST

[@darltontse]

"you don't have to, is why you are doing it" great conclusion

[@davidrotoreuther5168]

May you RIP, Sir David Tang, a great, kind and brilliant man...a true Icon! :-(

[@gallopfast1]

A true legend. "It's all because providence, fortune and luck." Notice "providence" is before anything else? That is why Sir David Tang can navigate freely between the east and the west. A converted catholic with Buddhism teachings at his heart.

[@cathmuller01]

I adore Sir David Tang. So warm, insightful, smart, wry, funny... I wish he'd write a biography.

[@dortse]

So Sad to lose this Great Man! Thanks for Sir David Tang

RIP Sir David Tang

[@hk_200k]

Seach another interview of David in bbc hardtalk, and you can hear his another ascent. (I don't know why, but you can see he's different tone to different audiences)

[@dbsk06]

I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected. Really entertaining and insightful. I don’t agree with the risk part completely though. Only take risks that are reversible and hedge risks as much as possible. Otherwise you will pay a huge price that without a trust fund or inheritance, you won’t live to see the end of.

[@hbooi7065]

Luck fate and destiny is the secret of life....the world is a stage and everyone has a role to play. If you're born to play certain role you're stuck. You can't choose your parents or the country you are born or what time or day you're born. The moment you're born your fate is fixed.

[@keithmok1a]

[@St_Lucifer_Morningstar]

Great man!

[@hazello5947]

Can sb explain the joke Sir David Tang made at the very first beginning of the speech? thank you so much 🙏🏻

[@alan7595]

Chinese would eat any animals, a typical stereotype from the West

[@wenyi78]

It is a tradition in Hong Kong to eat snakes either stir-fry or soup etc. in the speech Sir David referred to the snake in the Eden Garden. Hope I am right.

[@tcng9808]

Even by western standards, he is a life adventurer. But he is favoured by Providence as most of his gambles paid off at the very last. Sad to see him pass away not reaching his ripe age

[@williamtan1851]

How

[@weiyang2973]

RIP

[@ArnoldvanKampen]

I only hear, my father, my grandfather, my wife, my son, a building and another building and an heir and a horse and gambling.

[@prettytse7762]

MY NAME IS DAVID TANG///

[@EndureFocusEngageDie]

What did he say at the end? "But try to avoid..." avoid what?

[@PJ-kt7bz]

Happy Valley - it's a race course in HK where you gamble

[@frankieleung2215]

Read my letters to editor in the Financial Times about Hong Kong.

[@MetaView7]

Providence

[@aclx8094]

[@Longtack55]

[@alexkwanyh]

I think AC LX means president of us (Hong Kong)

[@garryowen852]

David Tang starts talking bullshit, lets make him the next Chief Executive.

[@EndureFocusEngageDie]

Try to avoid what?

[@munching-8740]

Happy Valley - the famous HK racecourse

[@en89hl]

Try to avoid happy valley 😂😂😂😂

[@k14michael]

So he defended a scrum of a foreman from a company that cause a boy's death? By using technicality?

[@souffled]

k14michael The foreman was the scapegoat to appease the public. He didn't build the fence. You didn't go to school surely.

[@hohowan7e]

講得幾好，但為何對中國人聽眾用英文講!
