Who Motivates The Motivator?

This morning, I was speaking to the students of Primary One and Two in Tanjong Katong Primary School. It is the first time students in the lower primary classes are attending my motivational talk entitled "Secrets of Success". They were so neatly seated in the hall. All of them looked so innocently smart.

As I was delivering the talk, they were actively participating in answering my questions and responding to my requests. They were so spontaneous. Usually, it is pretty challenging eliciting response from the more "matured" students!!!

When the talk was over and the students were dismissed orderly back into their respective classes, one class remained in the hall as they were going to have their Physical Education lesson there. I briefly chatted with one little girl and asked her what she has learned from my talk, she replied so instantaneously, "Never, never, never give up!". That's it! I am glad she learnt. Frankly, you never know when this principle she has learnt is going to help her in her studies and in her life later. The little girl and her response are really what motivate the motivator!!!
