“ Whatever the future holds, remember that in every path – even if it is not your chosen one – there is something to learn,

and don’t let it go to waste. Learning is not merely confined to what you like to do, but recognising what it takes to do

your job better, and harnessing the courage to venture into something unfamiliar and uncomfortable, and master it.

That is learning and really the underlying attitude when we say we need to learn how to learn. Success goes to those who

keep on learning, keep on improving.

The truth is, both are needed - it is a mesh of what you know and what you can do.

”– Mr Ong Ye KungMinister of Education
