FROM DILIP MUKERJEA

"Genius is in-born, may it never be still-born."

"Oysters, irritated by grains of sand, give birth to pearls. Brains, irritated by curiosity, give birth to ideas."

"Brainpower is the bridge to the future; it is what transports you from wishful thinking to willful doing."

"Unless you keep learning & growing, the status quo has no status."

THE ART & DISCIPLINE OF ADAPTABILITY FROM AN OLD MASTER

I always enjoy learning from the old masters - to me, they don't simply fade away - who have had contributed significantly to what Singapore is today:

"... Change in the way we learn, change in the way we work, change in the way we play, change in the way we live.

Our ability to quickly adjust/adapt to such changes will determine whether we merely survive or we prosper... "


~ Chan Chin Bock, one of the pioneers of the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), with 35 years of meritorious public service from 1964 to 1999 [from 1972 to 1974, as Chairman of the EDB], ending as Chairman of the EDB Consulting Group;



He is also the author of 'Heart Work: Stories of how EDB steered the Singapore economy from 1961 into the 21st century' (2002) as well as 'Heart Work 2 : EDB & Partners ~ New Frontiers for the Singapore Economy' in 2011.
