I love the coments from Conrad and Samuel on my last posting. Yes, I agree its really sad to see how spoilt and unappreciate some young kids can be. And I totally agree that it is their parents who unknowingly screwed them up by giving them what they want and taking their crap.

Recently, a mum came for my preview for my kids training program. She wanted to send her 10 year old son as he was lazy, rude and had no interest at all in success. When she asked him if he wanted to go, he screamed at her and said, ‘If you dare to sign me up, I will kill you!’

The mum looked at me and asked, ‘what can I do? he won’t go?’ I was thinking in my head that if I even dared to talk back to my father, I would be hit so hard that I would not be able to stand up for a week.

I shook my head and said to her, ‘ma’am if you cannot even put your foot down and make him respect you, god help you when he turns 18 years old!’ ‘ “If you continue to let him treat you like that then no program in the world (not even mine) can help him!’

” So what should I do?’ she asked? I said, ‘send him to Sri Lanka/ Somalia/East Timor for 3 months!’ She looked at me as if I was mad. Honestly, I was not. I think that all our lucky SIngpore kids who have been living in their happy little bubble, should go to Somalia (or some other third world country where children are starving) for a 3-month trade mission. when they return, their perspective on life will change.
