l!iiflO ~lrr~ll!rrili< li'i 11111 People are Hong Kong's most important
resources. Education upgrades the value of our
human assets, and increases the sophistication and
competitiveness of Hong Kong as an international
city. Without prejudice to gender, race, language and
origin, education gives people from every stratum of
the community an equal opportunity to compete for
success on their ability, motivation and perseverance.

* ilI" "'!I!Il.lli'll:!I When we are young, many of us tend to
abuse our bodies, e.g. overworking, overplaying,
overeating, etc., without realising that one day
we shall live to regret to have engaged in these
over-indulgences.

'll:JlIJ!. liI:E-1<'" I think the biggest challenge facing
Hong Kong in the 21st century is to nourish
a new generation of leaders who are
committed to Hong Kong and sensitive to
the social and economic environments both
in China and around the world. The Sir
Edward Youde Memorial Fund has made a
significant contribution in preparing our
young people for this challenge during the
past decade. It promotes the pursuit of
* ~
excellence in education and research among
~
Hong Kong students and encourages them
!fa. 1-
to commit themselves to serving the
community.
