Resilience, perseverance and willingness to work hard, communication skills, curiosity and appetite for risk are more important traits to develop. Unfortunately, all these qualities take time to develop and too many Singaporean children are spending most of their hours studying and perfecting the exam answering techniques through tuition and assessment books, just for the sake of getting a few more marks. In the grand scheme of things, these As and A* will not matter at all. But the lack of the key success factors may greatly diminish one's chance of excelling as an adult in the global economy. Such a sad reality. DGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05935605661515681127noreply@blogger.com
