Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Dr. Teh Hong Piow believes that success in life does not hinge upon getting the top grades while in school but power of knowledge is important too. He said “To succeed, you must believe in being excellent in all that you do. You need to go above and beyond – do more than what is expected of you.” Due to his family’s financial situation, he was only able to the level of Cambridge Overseas School Certificate. He studied banking on his own during his years at OCBC and Malayan Banking. Besides that, he regularly volunteers for extra works and attended accounting classes in order to improve himself. There are eight principles that Teh Hong Piow considers as the most importance.
- Know your purpose
- Be passionate about your chosen field
- Be people-oriented
- Persevere against the odds
- Be proactive in thought and action
- Practise professionalism
- Maintain prudence
- Be positive towards work and life
