Scrolling through Henry Lau’s Instagram and Twitter accounts, one cannot help but marvel at the joie de vivre they exude. Not to be a wet blanket but we are still living at the height of the pandemic even as we bade goodbye to one of the worst years the current generation has seen. Lau’s energy and positive vibes are infectious but more importantly, it feels authentic. Perhaps that is the charm of Canadian-born multi-hyphenate Henry Lau, mononymously referred to as Henry.
“First of all, I’d like to wish everyone a happy new year! I learned that no matter what troubles or issues you face, you have to stay positive,” shares Henry on the biggest takeaway from 2020. “By staying positive, you will think of solutions or even other roads to take that may actually lead to better outcomes. No matter what, look forward and never give up!”
To say 2020 was a tough year is an understatement to the harsh realities it brought forth as many livelihoods changed overnight. Yet one of the enduring human spirits is the ability to persevere and as the world heralded in a new year, a longing for new beginnings, renewed hope and refreshed resolutions started to ring clearer than ever before.
