Part 4/6:
Personal Insecurities and Challenges
Despite his esteemed position, the President revealed a vulnerability: difficulty with discipline and time management. He confided that as a young man, paying attention in class was a challenge, and even into his twenties, maintaining focus was tough. This honest admission demonstrates that leadership and success are not about perfection but about perseverance and growth.
Why He Chose to Serve
When asked why he aspires to be President, his candid answer was a desire to "save the world" and improve Singapore. He emphasized that leadership can take many forms, not just holding office—each individual can contribute uniquely to society. This perspective encourages citizens to find their own ways of making a difference.
