Grago, i am not Tai Ko, i am but just a Xiao Di (Hia Di), unloved by his government and even his father as well. My dad admitted to my staff very recently that he never expected his useless son who he never invested to do well. Needless to say, he hope they (my sisters) will succeed more than me.
My wife and principal related this to me yesterday, reminded me of the song my wife chose for me for my dad when i brought my parents to Hong Kong, Taiwan and US.

Sometimes, no matter what you do, you will never do enough. Still, the son you detests most may well turn out to be the son that loves you the most. Most insulting was my wife dedicated the 12 lotus song to me, everytime i kenna problems from the family. So many people just see your success now, they never saw your shedding of blood and tears or working 2-3 shifts just to pay off debts not of your own. Bros, if a lousy person like me can succeed, you can too. Background is never an excuse, just do it and show it to them. Self-pity is just part of the healing process but you need to do have action. Don't just dream, live your dreams. Do what you want, it doesn't have to necessarily be in MY. "Xiang Dao Da Ming Tian, Xian Zai Jiu Yao Qi Cheng"
Few people are fortunate to reach self-actualization in their early years and Singapore being such a materialistic society means that most have to fend for themselves, that is not a good reason though to automatically discount everyone you see. Some reach success at 20s, some in their 30s, some in their 40s and beyond. No comparison required as everyone has their own pace, we will all get there sooner or later. There are already some who are thinking to serve others at age 25. Just because you have seldom met good people in your life doesn't mean they don't exist. You just haven't met them yet.
