I have grown up in a world where my grades define my identity and my future. Get bad grades and your future is doomed to failure. Get good grades and you will get a good job and you will be successful in life.

But I learn…

A) “The smartest kid in the room isn’t always the one with straight A’s. It’s the one who knows how to solve problems, ask questions, and work with others.”

B) When I came out to the world, I have seen people who only had the highest education level of PSLE and gave up studying, who now run companies, generating multi million dollars in profits yearly.

C) And I have seen scholars who end up working for a fixed paycheck with a cap of income ceiling based on their educational abilities.

D) I have also learnt that success is also not just about monetary terms, but also about the impact that they create to the world around them.

As I process my birthday that just passed, I am asking God and Jesus as my CEO, what I am called to and for, in the next chapter of my life. Maybe I am just growing older and reflecting more on these questions.

🙏 My identity is not as a business leader or financial leader, but as God’s steward to life!

Have you been asking yourself deeper questions in life?
