i look the way i have transformed over the past year and the people around me and feel a tinge of worry for the kind of people the education system and our family units are churning out today.
i used to do and say things that i feel passionately about. yet, what comes first to mind now is the practicality and rationality of the things that you do, rather than the flood of emotions that can make you feel so proud for standing firm on your feet. many behavioural scientists (7 habits of highly effective people) tells us that successful people know how to not to let their emotions control them. certainly, sometimes being so is good.
yet, when i see people taking on certain jobs for the cash rather than their love for the profession, i suddenly wonder where has passion gone. when i see organisations accepting these people after rounds of interview, i wonder what has the world come to.
and i see myself in danger of transforming into a typical singapore freak gunning for jobs, scholarships and award for the money, prestige and recognition, rather than passion.
