I was greatly inspired by what you said during the panel discussions at the Pre-U Seminar 2010. Once I got home after the closing ceremony, I immediately Googled your name and I was led to this web page. Regarding the question you left us with that day, I would like to tell you that I was there spending 5 days of my June holidays learning as much as I could. (Where my peers are having fun at chalets, chilling out at Sentosa and all that sort of stuffs teenagers do). I strongly believe that learning in the classroom alone does not really do much to build our character and perspectives in life. It is all about reaching out and doing extraordinary things like you did. It is all about real-life experiences and putting ourselves in others’ shoes. I think I belong to the group of people who work hard to derive joy in everything I do. It is impossible to love everything we do, (Honestly, I don’t love to study although I chose the JC-route) but it is important to derive that simplest joy from the things we do. I enjoy the process of studying (learning) because I am always hungry for knowledge. I am very curious about things, this is one of the reasons why I ended up in the Pre-U Seminar. All in all, I agree that life can be a great adventure or nothing to different people. It is all about perspectives. Once you got your perspectives right, your life will be exciting and you will thrive. Once again, you are very inspiring and please keep it on and continue to inspire many more young minds.
