बिना रीसेट किए खुद को नए सिरे से कैसे गढ़ें? | Andrew Lau | TEDxCUHK

टीवी के पूर्व पत्रकार और बाद में बैरिस्टर बने Andrew Lau बताते हैं कि करियर अक्सर उस तरह आगे नहीं बढ़ता जैसा हम सोचते हैं। वे न्यूज़रूम से अदालत तक के अपने सफ़र और एक चरण में सीखे कौशल अगले चरण में कैसे काम आए, इसके बारे में बात करते हैं। यह वार्ता बदलाव को संकट नहीं, बल्कि ताकत के रूप में देखती है। इसमें मास्टर्स की पढ़ाई के लिए दोबारा कॉलेज लौटने का अनुभव भी शामिल है।

• टीवी समाचार से बैरिस्टर के रूप में काम तक का सफ़र
• एक करियर चरण के कौशल का अगले चरण में उपयोग
• मास्टर्स की पढ़ाई के लिए दोबारा पढ़ाई

Andrew’s talk is about how careers rarely unfold the way we expect and why that’s not something to fear. He shares his journey from the newsroom to the courtroom, and how the skills we build in one chapter often echo into the next in ways we don’t see coming. It’s a story about navigating uncertainty, changing direction, and discovering that reinvention isn’t a crisis—it’s a strength. He reflects on the moments that pushed him forward, the mistakes that humbled him, and the instincts that stayed with him no matter where he went. He also talks about returning to school for a master’s after swearing he would never study again, and what that taught him about growth. At its heart, this talk is an invitation to embrace the unexpected, trust your evolving skills, and carry your past confidently into whatever comes next. Andrew Lau is a former TV journalist who somehow became a barrister. He used to spend his free time playing video games and bingeing Netflix, but now he mostly binges case law. Court work aside, he teaches law and writes legal publications. Today, he still relies on the same instincts he had in the newsroom: find the real story, ask better questions, and try not to sweat under bright lights.
