The Secret of Life: David Tang at TEDxHKUST
One could say Sir David Tang is a natural entrepreneur. He is the founder of the brand Shanghai Tang; China Clubs located in Hong Kong, Beijing and Singapore; Havana House and Pacific Cigar Company Ltd (the exclusive distributor for all Cuban cigars in Asia Pacific).
Among all his success and achievements, what really stands out and is outstanding about Sir David is his continuous efforts to project a desirable and positive image of China. Former governor of Hong Kong, Chris Patten, once said the following about Sir David: "He's one of those rare people who cheers the world up. Life, and Hong Kong, would be much poorer without him."
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

"you don't have to, is why you are doing it" great conclusion
May you RIP, Sir David Tang, a great, kind and brilliant man...a true Icon! :-(
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.
I adore Sir David Tang. So warm, insightful, smart, wry, funny... I wish he'd write a biography.
So Sad to lose this Great Man! Thanks for Sir David Tang
R.I.P. Sir David. We'll miss your humor.
Such a great storyteller.
Another brilliant talk from HKUST, very inspirational and reassuring .
Rip, true real brilliant mankind.... big heart!
The secret of life is integrity
I love all of his speeches. What a great man he was!
I adore David Tang too much, great speech !!!
Great speech
Most interesting speech!
RIP Sir David Tang
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.
we miss you
He said try to avoid "Happy Valley", a Hong Kong horse racecourse.

I see. Thanks for the info .
Great man!
Brilliant
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)
this man taught me allot saying so little
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.
23 minutes to say "it comes down to luck" real inspiring

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.
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
WHAT HE DIED...am heartbroken
How
What did he say at the end? "But try to avoid..." avoid what?

David Tang starts talking bullshit, lets make him the next Chief Executive.
So he defended a scrum of a foreman from a company that cause a boy's death? By using technicality?

k14michael The foreman was the scapegoat to appease the public. He didn't build the fence. You didn't go to school surely.
講得幾好，但為何對中國人聽眾用英文講!
