Dear teachers in Singapore, this is a day we can all celebrate our common achievement as builders of our nation.
The values you hold are imparted.
The vision you embrace is caught.
The passion you burn with keeps igniting.
The dreams you carry never cease to inspire.
The care you show always transforms.
The way that you show gives comfort and hope.
Thank you for being an agent of transforming change!
Singapore Teachers: Lead. Care. Inspire.

I get bullied a lot in school...
Watching this, it is easy for us to understand the emotional strain that one goes through when targetted by bullies. The negative self-perceptions, the negative social experiences, the suspicions of others' motives being with ill-intent, lack of self-belief, etc, all converge in a growing mind.
Nevertheless, we can start by saying, "Andrew, you are better than you think you are!"
Perhaps you can be someone who builts another up. So, go ahead, be an inspiration!

Reverse Graffiti - Cleaning with a difference
Just when you thought that there was no future in cleaning jobs, think again.
As educators, what we need is a paradigm shift. We need to re-look at existing societal structures and carve out fresh niches for our students. We give them hope in a world where there seems to be no hope. We learn to embrace learner differences.

"Stay hungry, stay foolish." Steve Jobs
The inspirational speech given by Steve Jobs to the graduates at Stanford, in which he shared 3 personal stories:
1. connecting the dots (of life)
2. loss and love
3. death (is the best invention of life)
Finally,
Stay hungry. Stay foolish.
Pick me! - The voice of those who have practiced enough
Most of the time, personal success comes to those who practice, practice and practice. It very rarely comes easily and effortlessly. Even as you witness the skills and precision that these men possess, don't be mistaken. It could not have been without hours, months and years of training.
You can do it too!
