Hong Kong (CNN) -- Authorities began clearing the main encampment of pro-democracy protesters in central Hong Kong on Thursday, ushering in the end of an extraordinary occupation that shook the city's political foundations. Hundreds of demonstrators remain at the site, which sprawls along a multilane highway next to the Hong Kong government headquarters. Police have said they plan to dismantle the camp of colorful tents and art installations Thursday, urging protesters to leave peacefully. They are taking advantage of a court injunction requested by a bus company that orders the clearing of some of the highways blocked by the protest camp. Police say they will assist bailiffs in emptying the areas covered by the court order and would then move to reopen the other blocked roads. On Thursday morning, bailiffs read out the court injunction, telling demonstrators to pack up and leave on their own accord. They then began dismantling and removing barricades at the edges of the protest area. The bailiffs carried off metal and plastic barriers that had been lashed together, as well as broken umbrellas -- wilted versions of the protest movement's symbol. how many bailiffs does it take to remove an umbrella? #OccupyHK pic.twitter.com/jtZZhBAbte — Wilfred Chan (@wilfredchan) December 11, 2014 'We will be back' Protest leaders have said they don't intend to use violence to resist the clearance, but it remains unclear whether other factions in the decentralized movement will put up a fight. The police plan appears to spell the end of more than two months of street protests that challenged the Chinese government in Beijing and captured the world's attention. The Chinese government, which has ultimate control over Hong Kong, has steadfastly rejected the protesters' demand for open elections in the territory, calling the movement illegal and letting local authorities deal with the situation on the ground. In recent weeks, divisions have deepened among different groups within the protest movement, numbers have thinned and public support for the street occupations has fallen away. But demonstrators have said that even after the protest site is cleared, they will continue their campaign. "We will be back," read some signs around the site. "It's just the beginning," said another. Protest leaders call for peaceful resistance Leaders of the student groups that have spearheaded the demonstrations said they would remain at the main protest site but wouldn't physically resist the police.

We will stay true to the spirit of civil disobedience -- remain peaceful and bear the legal consequences of our action," said Alex Chow, secretary general of the Hong Kong Federation of Students. Their final sit-in would "mark the end of this phase of the occupation," Chow said Tuesday, according to the South China Morning Post newspaper. Joshua Wong, the student figure who has become the face of the protest movement, has also urged protesters to remain peaceful. Wong, a leader of the student group Scholarism, abandoned a hunger strike at the weekend that was aimed at getting the Hong Kong government to hold talks with protesters. 'I'll let them arrest me' One protester at the site, Jerry Lam, said Wednesday ahead of the planned clearance that he planned to stay there until the police came. "I'll let them arrest me if it comes to that, and I think everyone here in this camp feels the same," Lam, 24, told CNN as he folded up his tent. But another demonstrator, Gypsy Wong, 22, said she was packing up and wouldn't be there when the police came. "Even if we resist, there's no use," she told CNN, remembering a night of clashes she witnessed earlier in the movement. "I felt so helpless when the police were charging down upon us," she said. "That night I cried, and I don't want to see that again." Lam said that whatever happened, the clearance of the protest camp wouldn't erase "the people's spirit." "Before the Umbrella Movement, Hong Kong people didn't really pay attention to politics. But now, everyone cares," he said. "Our generation will pass this story onto the next generation, and they'll know what we did." CNN's Wilfred Chan, Saima Mohsin, Pamela Boykoff, Vivian Kam and Judy Kwon contributed to this report.
1) Its not that tough that they make you believe. CFA is very do-able. 2) CFA is 80% hard work and 20% intelligence. 3) An average joe can clear the program provided that he/she does not give up hope. 4) CFA is difficult because you’ll have to give up on your social life for the three years that you’re doing it. 5) It is much more difficult to clear the exams while you are working 6) Thus, if possible take atleast 1 ( better 2) levels while you’re still in college 7) Clearing only 1 level or clearing only 2 levels does not carry any weight. You have to clear all three levels before you can make the exams work for you. 8) CFA alone will not calapult you to the $100,000 job 99% of the times. 9) It is expensive. Abt $2500 to be precise 10) It will cover all topics in finance, but it is more suitable for equity research type of roles 11) it is not a subsitute of FRM ( and vice versa) 12) You’re not going to seem attractive to chicks in a bar only because you hold a charter 13) People don’t get that much impresed that you’re a CFA unless they are CFA level 1 candidates 14) the feeling of passing level 1 is the great, level 2 is good and level 3 is just ok 15) The happiness of passing Level 1 lasts 1 week, level 2 lasts 2 days and level 3 lasts a few hours. 16) Schweser is the best 17) Study atleast 2 hours everyday 18) start Preparing atleast 4 months before the exam 19) refer to CFAI textbooks only when in need for level 1 and level 3 20) Use CFAI textbooks often in level 2 21) you’ll forget what you studied by the time you complete your course. 22) in View of 21, revise atleast thrice before the exam 23) you mock test scores in Schweser Pro are the best indicators of your expected score 24) Doing Schweser back of chapter problems and doing CFAI past years qns is a very good idea 25) take free CFAI sample exam 3 weeks before the exam 26) take CFA mock exam 10 days before the real exam 27) apply for a 2 week leave before the exam , well in advance . 28) try to understand the material rather than mug it 29) Ethics is BY FAR the most scoring and important topic in exam ( especially in level 1) 30) take lots of tests 31) If possible, study from Schweser Videos for L2 32) Everyone who studies for atleast 300 hours for L1 shall pass that exam 32) NOT Everyone who studies for 300 hours for L2 shall pass that exam 33) L2 is very difficult.

Go on a trip/ read Calvin Hobbes/ Gossip with friends. After 1 weeekend, hit the books again. Without fail 39) Don’t let people fool you into thinking that you can pass the exam in 2 weeks.

That’s one of the most stupidest things to do. 49) If you fail once, don’t give up. If you fail twice, continue if situations were outside your control. If you fail thrice, leave it. 50) Degrees, Education, Charters, Exams are all of zero importance if you do not maintain good relationships with people. That’s the single most important thing that i’ve learnt over the three years in this program
