Young people I meet today sometimes tell me they are anxious about their future. I find this worrying, because if we look at Singapore today, we are at a much higher level than before, we have so much more than what our parents and our grandparents had. We have more resources, are better educated, and we have many more opportunities to achieve something special not just for ourselves, but for Singapore. We should aim high and with confidence.
As Mr Lee Kuan Yew once said “The sky has turned brighter. There is a glorious rainbow that beckons those with the spirit of adventure. And there are rich findings at the end of that rainbow. To the young and the not too old, I say, look at the horizon, find that rainbow, go ride it.”. Mr Lee Kuan Yew was not so young when he said those words, but he chased the rainbow all his life.
So I hope young people who worry about their future, who are sometimes beset by angst, who are anxious that life has become harder, take heart, chase that rainbow!
