| Working with an appreciative mindset and a thankful heart – An Interview with Professor Benjamin W. Wah |
When a majority of people spend most of their time at work, a happy and harmonious working environment is, therefore, something they would all look forward to. But in what way can it be found and grasped? We took this opportunity to pay a visit to Professor Benjamin Wah, Provost and Wei Lun Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at CUHK. He has been engaged in academic work at the university since he set foot in the working community. We would hear him elaborate on why an "appreciative and thankful" heart is a significant factor in building up a positive workplace. |

| Staff Thankful Day (Dec 7, 2015) |
"Staff Thankful Day" was held by the University for the first time on 7 December, 2015 to encourage colleagues express more appreciation and gratitude to each other by sending thank you cards.
In the morning, our Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Joseph Sung, issued an e-mail to all staff members expressing his gratitude and encouraging them to praise more and give more thanks to each other. "I understand my colleagues, be they in teaching and research, administrative support, or providing a variety of other services such as gardening, cleaning, maintenance, etc., are all dedicated people in their respective positions, and are often willing to consider for other people more and to take one further step to help. The beauty of the CUHK environment lies not only in its lake and scenery, but also in the harmony and friendliness among colleagues, so that those of us who follow a daily routine in this piece of land will enjoy the pleasantness of the place as much as we enjoy that of the spring breezes on our face." |

Waking up every day, have you ever been thankful for owning a pair of eyes that can "see"? We take it for granted that we have normal vision, but for the visually impaired people, it is something different.

| Five love languages in the workplace: words of appreciation that touch the heart |
| When was the last time you acted on your own initiative to express appreciation to your co-worker? Do you still remember how your co-worker reacted? Surprised? Moved? Or, embarrassed? Disappointed? Be they supervisors or subordinates, getting people's recognition and encouragement will be the heart's common desire. But then, people prefer different ways of expression. |
