I Remember

Epilogue

I will not be who I am without so many people who took care of me in my growing up years. First and foremost were my parents who raised me to be honest and taught me to be hardworking through their examples. No one owes us a living. We have to depend on ourselves to survive and thrive. My older brothers and my sister were there to guide me when I needed support. Formal education is key to my success. From primary school, secondary school, Junior College and universities, I met with good teachers and educators who impart knowledge and skills for me to earn a decent living. I have good friends from my classmates of so long ago. We are still in constant contact via social media platforms. Then came my enlistment to National Service after my GCE “A” Level. For two and a half years, I was trained and trained others in NS. My fellow officer cadets kept in touch and celebrated 40-year anniversary in 2017. Along the way, I had excellent colleagues in my various work places who made my life as bearable as possible in the stressful job environments. They are much appreciated by me till this day. Some were mentors who inducted me into the world of work and showed me the ropes. They too remain very good friends after I retired. Finally, my most important persons in my life are my wife and my daughter. They are gems and dependable. They brings joy and happiness. On these notes, I wish to express my sincere gratitudes to all people who came into my life. It took so many people over sixty five years to mould me. This includes neighbours whom we have become close friends by affiliation. In addition, I learned and still am learning from my many spiritual teachers about moral life filled with generosity, patience, loving kindness and compassion.
