“Only Virtue Ennobles” (明德惟馨)
Though a familiar motto since Primary 1,
Orzly, I’ve never even tried to embody this spirit in my daily life
Well, in my stupid opinion,
some other things that could “superficially” ennoble an individual includes:
0. Got common sense. Not pretentious. 沒有懶音
1. speak stunningly fluent English without a trace of a canto accent.
2. brims with charisma and style, with elegant behavior, outfit and speaking
3. hv gd knowledge @ world/local politics and econ, or even better–>science.
4. have talent @ sports, music, lit, or arts. Pick One!
5. Speak more than 2 languages.
6. with constantly good manner ..hygiene…etc. Know about wine, but won’t get drunk.
7. Have no sign of negative immaturity.
8. responsible+reliable, humble+humorous, fair+fearless
9. won’t feel uneasy to be the center of attention, always try his/her best to be inclusive
(disclaimer: i can’t do any 1-9 listed…
please tell me if u know anyone satisfying the above criterias hahaha)

hou ji:
virtue alone ennobles is so true.
seeing ppl taking pride in putting their
酒池肉林/燈紅酒綠/夜夜升歌/bitchy beach parties,
well, I will respect their way of life,
but I won’t even relate this with anything to be proud of.
absurd, it’s really absurd.
