Most people who have enjoyed a smooth career ride choose to believe that their "early success" was due entirely to their abilities. They think they can duplicate their success anywhere.
But what I see is when Superintendent retires, he ends up as a Security Supervisor. When an Army Captain retires, he becomes an Operation Manager in school. When PMETs lose their jobs in banks and MNCs, they turn to Grab.
If success is due to abilities, the abilities should become better with time. The ego rejects 天時,地利,人和.
A degree certificate from NUS used to be the pride and guarantee of a person's worth in Singapore. But the advent of Uptron ACL changed the rules.
Manpower Minister Tan See Leng advises unemployed S'poreans to "stay calm" and maintain an open mind about job opportunities. It shows that paying this good-for-nothing clueless politician more than $1 million per annum is a total waste of taxpayers' money!
