“No one or thing can intimidate you. Only you can.”
My mentor once said.
With that, I went from:
Being reluctant to apply because the criteria for the award intimated me,
To:
Embracing growth mindset and applied for it anyway.
The result:
An awardee of the 2018 SkillsFuture Fellowship.
This award is presented by the President of Singapore which honors individuals as masters of skills and mentors of future talent.
This afternoon, I am privileged to be an invited guest for the 2019 SkillsFuture SG Fellowships and Employers Award.
I would not be here if not for the wise words of my mentor.
Three things I learnt from winning the award:
☀ Ask “why not?” whenever we feel intimidated
☀ Be audacious and yet patient. Courage allows you to dream bigger while having patience enables you to forge ahead.
☀ Ignore the naysayers. Seek those who motivates you with encouragement and practical suggestions
What are you intimated by?
