Dear all,
As time goes by, today is my last working day in CDC. Therefore, I need to express my deeply appreciation for these lovely people & things here before my leaving.
Looking back, It’s a precious chance to work in a multinational company & work in a English environment. Especially for a freshman like me that just graduated from campus, I gained a lot.
I think, in CDC, through our every corporation & discussion I have learned much in the application of Business & Teamwork spirit. So hereby, I got to say that, cooperating with CDC and HK colleagues has greatly broadened my view of things. I have to express my sincerely appreciation to you all.
And particularly, my appreciation must goes to the following guys for their kind helps:
Anthony Yuen, thanks for your giving me chance, you are a kindhearted man, i believe, although we're not always meeting you.
Andy Ling, thanks for your giving me the chance to work here & useful helps, I benefit a lot.
Patrick Poon, thank you for your tolerance of my performance & your instructions, your HK fighting spirit has touched me a lot!
Tyo Chen, thanks for your trouble –shooting tips, it does help me a lot. Nice man like you is really seldom to meet, good luck, man.
Helen Yao, appreciated for your kindly help in many aspects, which makes a boy like me to grow up faster.
Basten Shing, thanks for your support of our work, you’re a nice & kind Man that I met here.
Last but not least, many thanks for King, Dick, Terry, Robin, Paul, Mervyn, Cherry and many many lovely & kindhearted people. You all are the diligent & smart guys, I think you guys will & must have a great future.
AND… MY TEAM MEMBERS, MICHELLE, CICI, RONNA, WE HAD A JOYFUL & AGILE TEAMWORK, I LOVE YOU SO, MORE THAN I CAN SAY.
Last, truly wish the 88db.com could become the No.1 classified website in the pan-asia. I am looking forwards to that day & having the confidence to see that day.
Dear Colleagues
This is my last day in the office which means it is time to say farewell to you!
During the past few weeks I have received many kind messages, greetings and words of encouragement from you – my friends and colleagues – that have made me feel both deeply grateful and sadly aware of who and what I am leaving!
IUCN has given me the happiest five years of my professional life - I would like to thank all the IUCN staff for this precious time, the support, enthusiasm, loyalty and above all sense of commitment that you bring to this Union of ours.
I feel privileged to have been given this opportunity to lead the Union for a part of its extraordinary history. Perhaps more than in many other institutions leadership in IUCN is premised on mutual trust and respect for each other. Throughout these five years I have felt both the respect and enormous trust that you afforded me and I hope I managed to convey my trust in you and the deep respect I have for how you engage on behalf of the Union each day – across all corners of the globe.
I hope my successor will be received with the same open arms that welcomed me in IUCN and I wish him/her great success! In the meantime Ibrahim Thiaw, our global Directors and the Senior Management Team will – with the support of all IUCN staff - guide the Union through this transition phase.
We have places to go and things to do – so don’t let my stepping off the moving train distract you too much! I intend to remain an enthusiastic fellow traveler in the IUCN family.
I have recorded a short video message to all the staff worldwide, to thank you for your support over the past 5 years, and to introduce Ibrahim Thiaw as Acting Director General, which can be viewed at the following link: http://www.iucn.org/temp/26_05_2006.wmv
With best wishes to all of you
Achim Steiner
