The greatest discovery of any generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering the attitudes of their minds.

A Local Sporting Hero who Embodies Good Habits of Mind


We had the honour and privilege of meeting a local sporting hero--Singapore's national record-holder for the 100m Mens sprint event--Mr. U. K. Shyam! During his keynote address, Mr. U. K. shared with us his personal journey to success and the various habits of mind he exercised to achieve his dreams and goals. He said that he learnt from each and every fall he encountered, every setback and obstacle he had to overcome. He also emphasized the importance of knowing that when one door closes, another will open, and that we should remain open to continuous learning, be flexible and open to new chances for us to develop our lives.
