You must think Hong Kong singer and actor Aarif Lee is a lucky guy.Only entering the business six years ago,the 28-year-old is already everywhere on our TV screens.Weeks ago he was an emperor in the TV drama The Empress of China (《武媚娘传奇》).And now he travels with a group of actresses in the reality show Sister Over Flowers (《花样姐姐》).
But even the luckiest guys come across difficulties.Lee's been through crises (危机) too.
Lee found his love for music before he was 15.But instead of going for that,he chose to do physics at Imperial College London,one of the world's top universities.
In his high school in Hong Kong,Lee was a head boy and everything came easily to him.However,university in London was a world away from the comfortable environment of high school.
"Compared with Hong Kong,Imperial was a war zone,where everyone was so competitive (好竞争的),pushing to get what they wanted,"he said."It was the first time in my life that I thought I might fail at something."
He didn't.Although for a time he really regretted his tough choice of subject.He warned his family he might have to leave university and choose a musical education.But he stayed on and came back home with a good grade.
Lee said that university taught him the need to dig deep to make the most of his potential (潜力),a useful lesson that he applies (运用) every day in his show business career.
"Even if you aren't talented at something,you can work hard to overcome it.Once you make that leap,it's like an addiction (上瘾)-you'll want more challenges.'
