b) How do you love yourself?

Would you believe if I tell you I only learnt to do so last year? 
I used to work tirelessly, and I used to place other’s opinions or their needs above myself. A turning point came, now I’ve learnt to put myself as priority, and it’s something to work on constantly.

I’ve always believed in “work on you for you” and taking joy in the smallest things, but it wasn’t until last year that I wasn’t practising enough of what I preach. And I’ve felt that I’ve become much happier because I’m tending to my body and my mind, and really understanding that happiness starts from loving yourself. The world starts gravitating in favour of you when you’re a better person with healthy thoughts.

c) To you, what is a woman’s beauty?

A woman is attractive when she takes charge of her life and is focused on her goals. I like very driven women. More importantly, I find a woman’s beauty lies a lot in how she is as a person in the face of trying circumstances or different people, and still remains real and true as a person.

d) What form of challenges did you face during your career?
How did you overcome these challenges?

Can I say that everything has been a challenge? This path has been a challenge ever since I identified that I was really running a business- it didn’t hit me until about 3 years into it because I was just that little girl who really wanted to take photos. I didnt think I was cut out to be an entrepreneur and I hadn’t exactly planned for this. There was so much to learn when it comes to the technical knowledge and the business know-hows, and this is an ongoing process cause there’s just so much to learn on a daily basis with the world constantly changing, and it scares me but I just repeat to myself that failure is not an option for me and I just have to work doubly hard. 

Now as the team grows, the challenges come with working with different people and finding the best balance in everything that we do such that we, as creatives, are happy making our craft and still able to pay our bills.

 b) 愛自己的第一步是什麼?

如果我告訴你我去年才學會這樣做，你相信嗎？
我曾埋首工作，而且將別人的意見或他們的需求置於自己之上
轉折點來了，現在我學會了把自己放在第一位
而這是需要不斷練習的事情。
我一直相信“為自己而努力”並樂於在細小的事情上感到高興
直到去年才我真正的去實踐
同時，我感到自己變得更加快樂。

當我更趨向於照顧自己的身體和思想時
才真正了解幸福源於愛自己。
當您成為一位擁有正面思想的更好的人，
全世界都會開始寵愛著你。


c) 在你心中，什麼是女性的美麗?

女人在掌握自己的生活並專注於自己的目標時很有吸引力
我喜歡非常有動力的女人。

更重要的是，我發現女人的美麗在很大程度上
取決於她在面對艱難的境遇或與其他人面對面時的樣子
仍然是真實的樣貌。


d) 堅持喜好的路上遇到什麼樣的挑戰?如何克服?

我可以說一路上都是挑戰嗎？
因為我只是那個想拍照的小女孩直到3年後
才真正了解自己在經營一家企業
我不認為自己是一名企業家，也沒有為此計劃
當涉及到技術知識和業務知識時，有很多東西要學習
而且這是一個持續的過程，因為在世界不斷變化的情況下
每天有太多東西需要學習，這讓我感到恐懼
但我不斷重複的告訴自己
失敗不是我的選擇，我只需要加倍努力

現在，隨著團隊的成長
挑戰與不同的人一起工作
也挑戰在我們所做的所有事情中找到最佳的平衡
讓我們能夠開心發揮創意並且能持續的運作下去

Thank you!

With love,
Fiona

Gentle like water, but at the same time tough
Be a modern woman
Live with a decisive and elegant attitude
Redefining value, to a kind of wilful perseverance to the things you like
