"You can be stupid, but you can't be lazy!"
I had a good chat with this Singaporean lady, a professional who has been in USA with her family, for some seven years, but still taking Singapore as her home. She is now a mother of two. As we were on the topic of parenting and education for the children, we apparently shared many similar viewpoints and struck the same chord on many topics.
She is simply an amazing and marvellous super-woman who juggles well her work, family and even community work and to make it even more incredible, she does all these without even engaging a domestic helper. She is making great and sound decisions for her children's learning and education within the confines of the system here. She does not fancy sending her children to those so-called good schools and that surprised many of her friends.
As a professonal who helps others with change, she is imparting good and balanced values to her children. A good life wisdom she learnt from her father is: "you can be stupid, but you can't be lazy". She is guiding her children the same way she was brought up.
