About the event
In competitive Singapore, we often find ourselves lost in the rat race towards some material goal. “I need this internship”…”I need a high salary”…”I need a partner”
Once we achieve the goal, however, our thirst for more never seems to stop and we strive for the next best thing.
Is this "thirst for more" necessarily bad? Is it possible to be contented and at the same time be ambitious? How do we reach this balance?
