Tuesday, May 25, 2010
You just have to agree, that ‘learning is an attitude of mind, and a lifelong process.’ Why is this so? Singapore has always taken education very seriously, and government have also been ‘investing heavily to make them even better’. Strong culture of education and continuous learning not only keeps our people fresh, and relevant. Strong culture of education also allows our people to keep making progress in their life. The Straits Time once had an article saying that now, even the “old” are going back to school. This is a ‘keeping young’ mindset, and we’ll have to agree, this is an important key to keeping Singapore and our people ‘Forever Young’. Singapore has become an ‘idea hub’, where many multination corporations are drawn to. When these corporations are built and fully operational, high-value jobs will be created and people will have be able to get jobs as they will ‘upgrade their skills’, just like the above mentioned – strong culture of education. It’s a good thing that Singapore is always thinking of better ways and ideas to improve on certain areas, however, I do not agree that ‘If we are trapped in the industries of the past, we will become the new ’rust belt’ – with old factories, making old products, using old skills.’. Old skills have their own advantage. For example, if we have a machine and a human doing the same work, no doubt the machine will be faster, however, machine has a “shorter” life span than humans. Being at the forefront of knowledge and innovation may not be a good key to keeping Singapore ‘Forever young’. I do not agree that keeping Singapore ‘Forever young’ means having more casinos and integrated resorts. However, maybe hosting more world-class events like the Youth Olympics and F1 will boost Singapore's reputation. At the age of 45, Singapore is already an accomplished city-state. With more world-class events, strong culture of education and strong and honest leadership, I'm sure that Singapore will stay Forever Young'. Afterall, age is just a number. - MELISSA
