I was recently asked at a talk what I would say would be the worst thing that could happen to the young generation today, and my reply was that itâs not that they will be invaded or become poor, itâs that all of them as a cohort will sleepwalk through life: comfortable, not really aware of whatâs really happening, not passionate about anything, then one day, they wake up and say, âWhat did I really do? Did I waste my life?â I donât want to accuse them, because itâs completely unfair to them as young people whoâve grown up in affluent Singapore. We, in our generation, created the environment for them to live in an affluent context. Itâs not hardly their fault. The consequence of this, though, is that they can be less aware of things, and so sleepwalk. When you look at young people in China, Indonesia, Burma, you see how hungry they are by necessity. We are not hungry anymore and neither should we be â but we must be hungry for something and this is the challenge for Singapore. Itâs much easier to be hungry for something physical and then achieve it; itâs much more difficult to be hungry for something more amorphous, more social, hungry for a more purposeful life. My whole point to young people is: find a purpose.

But thereâs a deeper thing here, which is: Technology doesnât solve humanityâs problems. It was always naĂŻve to think so. Technology is an enabler, but humanity has to deal with humanityâs problems. I think weâre both over-reliant on technology as a way to solve things and probably, at this moment, over-indexing on technology as a source of all problems, too.

â When youâre a student, thereâs this mystique built around having a long professional career, and having experience. But having seen how many organisations and teams are run, if you can put together a school fun fair, for example, that is the same set of skills that you need to run an organisation. Iâm not even kidding. Itâs just making sure that youâre keeping track of whatâs going on, ensuring that your team knows what to do, communicating openly and honestly, prioritising your goals. Itâs the same thing.
I had a friend who was just inherently super organised. We were planning a trip to Costa Rica for our group of friends. She, for that trip, had put together a binder of arrival times, pictures of restaurants and contact numbers. And she did that because that was just the kind of person she was. None of that is inherently a super high intelligence task, but that one binder is more organised than some multi-hundred million-dollar projects Iâve seen, and this was for our little group trip to Costa Rica. If you can do that, then I think succeeding professionally isnât as far away as you think. Itâs not as mystical as you think. I think that was a big insight.â
In the future, when we turn 50, we will each be given a ticket to a time machine and, just once, we will be able to go back in time and talk to our 25-year-old selves. Even then, time travel will be expensive and wreak havoc with frequent flyer programs.

Ever since graduation, people have been asking me: âWhatâs now?â My answer has been an unequivocal: âI donât know.â I used to think that by the time I finish...
âOver the last year, Iâve bothered many people, both in industry and academia, with these questions, and Iâve been so lucky that some of them were kind enough to sit me down and share their insights with me. As their advice was extremely helpful to me, I thought they might be also useful for others who will one day have to go through the process that I did. This article is an attempt to put into words the overwhelming thought process that I went through and the advice that I received.â
