      Very inspiring stories from Mr Lim Yok Zuan & MadScientist ~


      Sometimes a slower or more roundabout way can mean that one gets to learn more along the journey…

      After all different kids are sparked (or 开窍) at different times.
      It’s great that they march to the beat of their own drums.

        so as parents, we no need to worry about our kids where are they now.Only thing they have the passion and hope when they grow up they will know how important is the education for their future.

            The only constraint in our own progress is when we place the constraints on ourselves. This is my belief and I am encouraged by people who can go through repeated failures but come out greater than what they originally intend to be.

                We are living proof that the system discriminates and is way off the perfection believed.

                That is why, parents, I advocate that WE live the lives we want our children to live. To change and make things possible ourselves first instead of projecting our failures on our children as hopes.

                I'd rather think that being freed from the bonds of academic hyperachievement at an early age have made you the well-rounded plain speaking individual you are 😉

                So perhaps its a system that works, but in a perverse, unintended roundabout way.

                what la...
                system work or this fella dam special?
                or u mean system work for a few fellas?

                  3boys your roundabout way maybe only favour the few number
                  that the hyperachieved focus system purge out unintentionally or :scratchhead: :?

                    I will presumed over time if the system keep producing these
                    few special holistic fellas, the need to re-vamp is in order right :hi5: !

                      Kiddo,


                      Welcome back from KL…

                      It doesn’t matter what who means really…

                      Point is, I learnt at the system is such, and perhaps there is so much I can do… What is in my power are my children and how they will adapt I to the system. Since I learnt much, I take it that I know a bit more on how to cope and get around. This life lesson helps me to help my kids in a better way.

                      That is perhaps the take home from all these examples… That chasing the paper is not about the paper… It’s about the chase.

                        Thank you MS,

                        was picking at details-micro 😉
                        The process one when through is more important than the end results itself,
                        your kids will do well with parents that know the why and how.
                        I believe in a system like SG , we really need parents that know the
                        how so the system does not look so daunting for some.
                        :hi5:
