A Sweet and familiar tune was heard on Saturday morning with our Singapore Flag up high:
If you didn't know that last Saturday, Joseph smashed through the zero barrier for the GOLD Olympics medal and in the process made a NEW Olympic Record.Fyi, this is the first time Singapore won a Gold medal and is the best gift for Singapore's 51 Birthday.
As a Singaporean and ACJC alumni, I'm proud of him not only because of his perseverance and achievement but more because he dare to follow his dreams from 6 years old till it became a reality of swimming and beating his idol Micheal Phelps. So congrats to Joseph, his family and Singapore. You made us know we can do it once we set our mind on it.
Talk about David beating Goliath. This is classic case of the black horse beating the top in the game with style.
Anyway, the moral I like to share with you is that no matter how much we invest in foreign talent, we should focus on growing our own talent pool. Not everyone can be Joseph but if we can divert more of our resources to the young Singaporean athletics in terms of better coach or incentives, we can achieve more medals.
Similarly, we should recognize that there will be very good traders in Singapore which you never know existed until sheer luck or destiny allow you to cross paths with them. While most retail investors are complaining they are losing money most of the time, those who trade with my recommendations are the 20% who made money year in and out.
Stop hurting yourself if you are in a losing streak. Contact me and change your life. Contact me at ericohlh@gmail.com with your mobile number and name.
The BEST IS YET TO BE.
