Define your own success...

Absolutely

That's contradictory. There is too much influence of no-consequences, easy-options liberal-rights-democracy propaganda among youth. Too much garbage from USA media and Hollywood movies.

@@scbchong6964 everyone here is to earn a living. Successful or not also depend on feeding family and start family. Go find your ah tiong mindset in china better

@@tankman20064 No, Opposition politicians earn $17k monthly just to tell lies, wayang and blame govt, hor. No need to deliver anything better. So which industry you working in? Or you still in school and living rent-free with parents? btw I chinese singaporean GenX, hor. And not like you hating foreigners.

Haters gonna be haters as always.

As the Chinese saying goes, 失败是成功之母. This translates to "failure is the mother of success". Notice the last two Chinese characters, 之母. It suggests that failure is a precursor to success. In other words, failure often comes before success, but failure may not be a pre-requisite for success. Hence, to teach our children to fail better is to first promote a culture that acknowledges failure and demonstrate that with every failure, we now know what does not work. I will argue that knowing what does not work helps deepen conceptual understanding and helps individuals connect the dots to the "right" solution. There needs to be more recognition on the work that has gone into showing what does not work, rather than what will get us to the "right" solution. One can get to the "right" solution without developing a deep understanding of the concept. I'd much rather know what does not work through experimenting than get to the "right" solution straightaway. This is more beneficial in the long run.

@@fedexperimental8417 hmm There is still value in learning what the previous gen has already concluded and then building upon that. There's a saying that if you struggle with a problem, you remember it 10x longer than the person who got the right answer right away. I think you're referring to that. However, I'm not concerned about when a kid would get the right answer or if the kid would get the best answer at all. Rather, I hope that the kid would learn to have a growth mindset. That you failed yesterday, and you will fail today, but you will make sure to fail better, so that is progress. The importance is building better pathways and building things that you'd eventually be proud of. Whether it is a song, an app, a robot, or a hat.

@@csy897 Yes, struggling with a problem is important for learning to take place. It is not just failure per say, but failing in a productive manner that enables one to recognize the limitations of his/her solutions and therefore seek alternative solutions to improve. However, my broader point is that you need to develop a culture that acknowledges and is accepting (NOT tolerant) of failure in addition to embracing a growth mindset. There is a huge difference between "accepting failure" and "being tolerant of failure". If people are "tolerant of failure", their attitude is "I let you fail because I am told to do so or I have to do so". In contrast, "accepting failure" is like saying "Fantastic, it is wonderful that you tried this and realized it does not work. This is an important point as now we see things from various perspectives. So, what else can we do?". While we hope individuals develop a growth mindset, if we do not create the conditions for growth mindset to flourish, individuals would likely not consider acquiring a growth mindset. What the government can do is to create such conditions (which I am sure they are already looking into). This will not be a walk in the park as it involves the cooperation of various stakeholders. Perhaps government can start this from the top and cascade it down.

Do you live in singapore? How many singaporean friends do you have? The PAP govt does not allocate jobs and ALL singaporeans can choose to work and excel in civil service, armed forces, private sector or start their own business. Can even live and work locally or abroad. You merely envious of successful folks and think the Opposition politicians can gift you talents and success without working and competing for it.

@@scbchong6964 you live in china. Go live in china. Ah tiong life first. One party system

@@tankman20064 Citizen, I am a GenX chinese singaporean. btw You got any experience hiring, training and managing singaporeans and foreigners? Or you still in school and living rent-free with parents? U tok cock, kpkb and blame others very easy, hor.

I disagree - many youths like me that were brought up with digital technology are acutely aware of “harsh realities”. Everyone you see in this video is no stranger to the tech topics you mentioned - it’s not just one particular generation. Rather than generalising youths as being reluctant to accept harsh realities, today’s youths are raising awareness, asking questions, and finding solutions to said realities. That way future generations have healthier approaches to adversity, and more resources to solve new problems in their time.

Did the people want higher tax and flat price? Inflation? Did they want sg to still be open when epidemic hit? Why do they keep importing foreign worker?

Actually daily living costs in SG is rather low. It is lifestyle costs which are high. And why blame foreigners when you got bad work attitude and so entitled? In real world, no need to compete, innovate, and strive?

@@scbchong6964 low meh ? You get many money lah

Even they can’t get 49% Singaporeans managers who can meet their needs? Even if they keep loosing big money for 4, 5 years?

Actually it's the issue of entitled, complacent GenX parents. And ignoring the fact that God/Nature distributes talents unfairly. And that Natural Selection comes down hard on the 35,000 citizen babies born annually. Many duds amongst the small population.

@@scbchong6964 god again. Aiyo. PAP cannot solve find gof

Being a Singaporean & living in Singapore for more than 50, plus family rooted in Singapore 3 generations ago, we can see how life is getting better with the progress of our country. However, some parents have forgotten how to teach their children the law of survival & didn't help them to polish their instincts, ask their children to quit their job when they complain about their bosses, help their children to blame others when they are not doing well, send their children to confort zones when they face difficulties, shower their children with material instead of building their inner strength. The end results are, their children complain about increasing prices but ignoring the fact that entery salary has increased faster than living costs, ignoring the fact that subsequent increments & promotions depending on contributions & performances, thinking that they can't make it in Singapore they can just move to la la land by selling & profiting from their hdb & withdraw all their CPF, without knowing how many professionals such as accountants, lawyers, moved back to work in Singapore under permits. Ask yourself, does the personal income tax rate for income below $300K increase since LKY's time? Does the % of house owners decrease since LKY's time? Does the % of private property owners expanded LKY's time? Does the government provided reskilling & upskilling since LKY's time? Does the government provided job matching LKY's time?

@鲁🐍焚化炉 Hi sir, all i can say is, lookkng from a thrid party's perspective, in LKY's time, skngapore was thriving and doing well, now under his son LHL, it went to the dumpsters. and there are a ton of Foreigners, Singapore PRs and 9 to 10% GST Hike.

@@lamjianyuan You appeared to have mistaken the GST increase of 1%, 2% as hike of 9%, 10%. What is the problem with foreigners & PRs to cover the manpower gaps in Singapore? Why not you give examples to justify your claims, as a 3rd party, that Singapore is not thriving as before and "went to the dumpster"?

@鲁🐍焚化炉 the reason why I said what I said is because LHL is already old and haggard. foreigners and Singapore prs are most of them are lowly educated and lowly skilled, cheapskate dispensables basically.

@@lamjianyuan After thinking for 10 days, sill can't justify your claims?! 😝

Only you are "enraged", lah. Finger pointing, blaming and spreading false accusations and false narratives does not help.

@@scbchong6964 it helping. Of course

Oh come on.... this is luggage that is living rent free in your narrow mind only.

It's because strong men have built good times. And good times breed weak men. ie. singaporean youth now. Lacking grit, stamina, innovation, competitive spirit. Full of entitlement and influenced by the USA liberal-rights-democracy propaganda of no-consequences and easy options. The problem could be their GenX parents too.

Funny, i don’t see that extremism you’re talking about. Many are nodding their heads in agreement when LW is talking. Smart people make do with what they have, and excel at what they choose to.

What garment? Silk? Cotton? Linen?

That is fake news rubbish

How about the rubvish ministers lying

Rubbish pap supporter how about the ministers lying

23 million only. PAP must be 230 million. No wonder we so poor

Actually it's more a case of entitled, complacent GenX parents, and relatives/role models fixated on property acquisition. Strong men have built good times but good times have bred weak men. So many weak men among the Haters and Opposition supporters.

@@scbchong6964 I think your last sentence suit you better example goes about hating the Opposition Supporters exercising their democratic Rights and vilifying them without evidence of substantiation. If this is not evidence of weakness and Hater, what is?

@@ttkoh123 Citizen, you forgot it is Opposition who is first to tell lies, point finger, make false accusations and wayang. That is NOT a "democratic Right". Besides, what makes you think taxpayers want you around anyway? The majority of citizens do NOT want Opposition around. Aren't you just arrogant and self-important for thinking you are essential to singapore's progress?

@@scbchong6964 You are completely entitled to opinions that are not supported by evidence. But the moment you spread that opinion as fact, you are a liar. And if you spread it as fact knowing it is not supported by evidence, you are both a liar and a fraud". -- Occam's Barber.

@@scbchong6964 No able Singaporeans will descent to your kind of level or be mistaken to endorse you. Bye.

I disagree with your point that working for an employer in return for financial compensation is not a sign of success. Every human being needs to feel a sense of security. If a salary is what someone needs to afford paying the bills and support their other commitments (family, recreation, etc), then isn’t achieving that stability and certainty a milestone of success? Success is certainly not just high financial wealth. Learning different definitions of success is also important because it differs based on where you are in life.

Actually singaporeans need better work attitude, more productivity, more innovation, more competition and less complaining, kpkb and blame-game finger-pointing against govt.

@@scbchong6964 and you win election and kpkb there like king. No need to do job ?

@Ain Loves Code when you were a kid and asked about what youd want to be what did you tell? No one in this world dreamed of just paying bills when they grow up. Most people want to be rich so they can buy everything but even rich people hate bills. No job is secured, people get old and you get sick too. Surviving is more important and more expensive than success. If your goal is to be able to pay bills and if you are then you are successful but the general public wont recognise it as success. For a woman people brand a woman to be successful when she has good career even without kids or family but women also like to get married and have kids so why arent these category recognized as successful?

"Paper generals" don't control what job you choose to excel in, right? You can work in civil service, armed forces, private sector or start a business. Can even work overseas, right? Just stop the complaining, finger-pointing and blame-game, lah. In real world no need to compete, solve problems and innovate meh?

@@scbchong6964 then civil servent no need so high pay already. Serve what ? Sit and relax kopi huh

@@scbchong6964 I want to see how the SAF paper generals fighting spirit . If their real life strategies fail, do you want to go to war under their lousy leadership? they open mouth and you go and die?

@@Confidence_and_Fitness Citizen, you jealous of high-ranking officers is it? Did you even serve NS? Rank? Can you even pass IPPT? btw ALL singaporeans can choose a job in civil service, armed forces, private sector or start a business. Whether you are successful is up to your talents, grit, stamina, patience, skills, and attitude, right? Also, those who point finger, complain, kpkb and blame others alot are usually very lousy, mediocre, bad attitude workers, hor.

You forgot only 35,000+ singaporean babies born annually, while 20,000+ older citizens die every year. You point finger and blame govt and foreigners but does not raise your talent, skills, innovation or problem solving abilities leh.

Yes

No, look at our neighbour

Did he? On many instances, his answers highlight what has already been done and what more can be done or simply acknowledging that there are no simple solutions, rather the focus should be building the capacity to cope with the complexities.

What makes you think you can just point finger, kpkb, blame govt and hate foreigners? How does that make you more talented, more innovative, more competitive, more able to solve problems?

@@scbchong6964 then PAP do what push problem away and tell god meh ?

No, PAP does not own companies or factories to give employment. Singaporeans are free to choose jobs in civil service, armed forces, private sector or start own business. Can even work overseas. All down to each person's grit, talent, stamina, determination, skills and attitude, right?

@@scbchong6964 PAP member all own companies or factories. That the different. Join as members.

you are oppose for the sake of it.

The real issue is only 35,000 singaporean babies born annually while 20,000+ older singaporeans pass away every year. And God/Nature distributes talents unfairly. How many jobs have you created for singaporeans? Only know how to biatch, point finger, kpkb and blame govt.
