Dear parents, teachers, children, and friends,
The āImagineā video was created with great care for this yearās concert. We did not expect it to resonate so deeply or stir such strong emotions among so many of you.
Allow us to share the story behind it.
āImagineā was created to encourage our childrenāand us as parentsāto think beyond what seems possible. The world is changing rapidly. Advances in AI, blockchain, and powerful GPUs are transforming the way we live and work. In the long run, these technologies will bring new opportunities. But in the short to medium term, many of us will face challenges: job transitions, re-learning, shifting roles, and adapting to new expectations. I speak from experience as a software engineer.
What matters most is how we prepare ourselves and our children. We should not fear change, no matter how difficult it may seem. This is where courage and humility matter. Courage to face what is new and uncertain, and humility to adapt, learn, and grow through it.
At the same time, we must guide our children wisely as they grow in a digital age. Simple steps, such as setting up parental controls or family-linked accounts, can help protect them from harmful influences. As they begin to understand right and wrong, we gradually allow them independence. Along the way, let us nurture their strengths and acknowledge their weaknesses with patience. Harsh discipline can discourage them; a balanced approach works better. Meet them where their interests areāif your child loves playing Clash Royale, try playing with them for a few minutes, and use that shared moment to connect before guiding them to more meaningful discussions.
āImagineā offers a glimpse of a future we hope our children will inheritāa future of possibility, creativity, and purpose. But the journey to that future will not be easy. Helping our children believe in themselves and find the confidence to face challenges will be one of the most important responsibilities we carry.
Yet when we see our little ones smiling, learning, stumbling, and growing with us, every effort becomes meaningful. That is love.
Thank you for embracing āImagine,ā just as we cherished bringing it to life.
Sincerely,
Ms Teng's Sidekick, Mr Lee.
