Lack of Drive amongst S’porean Students?

Are we surprised that our Singaporean students are lacking in drive?

Of course not! Then how come our Education Minister was surprised when being told this by "a group of CEOs"?

The report also mentioned, "Drive, confidence and a willingness to venture out of one's comfort zone - these are what entrepreneurs and top chief executives are looking for in their employees.."

So what can you do as a PARENT to instil these qualities into your kids?

  • For Drive, you need to ensure NOT to accede to all the requests/demands of your kids. If they want something, make sure you make them save or work their butts in getting what they are after, be it, iPADs, DLSRs or anythings….except Your Love!
  • For Confidence, make them start by ordering foods on their own, to speak their minds and have a good argument and keep on telling them that they are great and show their talents to the world!
  • For Comfort Zone, easy! Kick them out of the house. HAHAHA!

Yeah, BTW, who am I trying to teach you, guys?!!!
