Budget Dialogue...

Today went to a Budget Dialogue session with Minister Teo Chee Hean. It was informative and great, bumped into familiar faces as well.

Brought some artistes there, YH, XW, XR, GC, MH, it was a good event for me to observe them as a whole, the do's and don'ts in an informal yet serious event.

The event brought some attention about the economy issues happen around the world and most importantly, in Singapore, and how does youths in Singapore are coping, facing and of course to do to help with the crisis.

Crisis? Well... maybe not that bad... I suppose we should PREPARE for any un-expectations and WORK towards a better and brighter future.

There were a one guy posted a question between looking for work by passion and looking for work to sustain himself at the moment.

On my personal view and I agree with the Speakers views, that's BE OPEN. Obviously, I'm not asking anyone to just take up whatever is available, but BE REALISTIC, take two steps back and find out where and what do you have?

Also, taking up courses, is one thing, but there are more than just SKILL courses, or simply educational... Being an experienced working contributor the the society, You can still do what you love, but may not be you most ideal YET... but pursue in that direction, and eventually, with good faith and HARD WORK... you WILL MAKE IT...

That's my two cents worth. Plus...I must not forget, its more than just the paper and skill... its THE CHANGE IN ONE'S MINDSET AND WILLINGNESS...

Anyway, maybe this entry could be too heavy and serious... ANYWAY...
