The traits you carry through life can lead you down various paths, whether familiar or foreign. Comfort may guide you along the well-trodden route, while whimsy might take you somewhere new.

Passion will challenge you and lift you when you fall. Such is the essence of Karen Mak, whose life is driven by passion.
