Lim Siong Guan, a co-author of Winning with Honour and The Leader, The Teacher & You, spoke at the Education and Career Guidance Fair last weekend.

One parent, Madam Hua, told the Straits Times: “Some of my perspectives also changed after listening to Mr Lim’s talk…We often think that it is important to strive academically and it is the end if you don’t make it at the Primary School Leaving Examination. But it is okay to make mistakes and take longer routes to success.”

Mr Lim mentioned: “The future that we are talking about requires a compass more than a map.”
