Young people of Singapore, we have to ask ourselves, what are we living for. This has reference to the point I am driving at, setting worthwhile goals. What is the reason we have to set worthwhile goals? For example, I have worthwhile goals. My objective, my goal in life is to raise funds for children with cancer, a group of unfortunate children.

You kids, most of you, are extremely fortunate. You are fit, healthy and are able to enjoy your life. You are fortunate. Young people, you have to set goals for life. If you have no goals, what's the point of living. Do you guys know about the animation, Naruto? if you do, you must have heard of Sasuke. What's his goal? He lives to kill his brother. What is Naruto's goal? He wants the entire village to recognise him, to become the strongest person in the village. Every show, every animation, every story, the protagonist and everyone else has a goal.

Anyone watched Coach Karter? Karter had a worthwhile goal. He wanted his basketball team to excel both in academic and sports aspect. A teenager from his team wanted a scholarship, but was hanging out with bad company. However, Coach Karter changed his life. How? He obtained his scholarship after Coach Karter pushed him. Coach Karter worked towards his goal.

This is also related to the topic, goals. You will definitely have goals. A Primary 6 kid will want to obtain a certain grade. They want to get into the school of their choice. You have goals, everyone have goals, the difference between most people and Naruto is that they don't work towards their goals. The question you always have to ask yourself, what is your goal in life, what are you living for and what are you working to your goal in life.

It's your life. Make it meaningful. It's now or never.

A goal without a plan is just a wish. Work towards your goal and achieve it with determination and a realistic plan.

Yours sincerely,
Dr Tan
