My name is Eileen Chai, from Singapore. I was a national athlete in Gymnastics, Athletics and Springboard Diving, and now, a teacher and a violinist. I started gymnastics when I was four, represented Singapore at seven, began my training in China at nine, won my first gold medal overseas at 10. Like you and me, we go through different discovery phases of our lives. We put in the commitment and ded
ication, and we persevere through difficult and challenging times to reach our hopes and dreams. And, there are inspiring lessons to be learned through that journey. I went through the challenging life journey with some help from my mom, dad and family. I can feel the pain and joy when I hear life stories shared by people from all walks of life. Our first step is not to succeed, but to be prepared to fall; and, recognise our mistakes, embrace the next step to make it good or even better. SO, we can help people to:
1) Discover their strengths and overcome difficulties;
2) Inspire the young ones to understand the meaning of resilience, commitment and friendship, in their life journey;
3) Motivate people to embrace challenges as there's always light beyond the dark days. WHO are the people?
1) Parents who want to nurture their aspiring and talented children;
2) Individuals discovering/exploring life's purpose;
3) Teenagers who want to achieve their dreams but are unsure how to;
4) School-going children who need to discover important personal values that could form their outlook and make decisions in their life journey; and
5) Aspiring sportsman and sportswoman wanting to fulfill their potential. HOW can you help? Share your life experiences:
1) Difficulties encountered while trying to reach your goals;
2) Lessons learnt while taking the road less travelled;
3) Steps that you've bravely embraced to make your lessons learnt good;
4) Values that you've developed over the years to become who you are;
5) Internal strength of parents to help your aspiring and talented kids to achieve their goals, and
6) Discovery of your life purpose
We can together, help to discover, inspire and motivate one another, to “Teach a Life, for Life”.
