IMPACT 0257: GIVING IT YOUR BEST SHOT

I think that this is one of the hardest challenges for me since I am a very logical person. I tend to be a perfectionist in every little thing I do. Only through time have I realised that sometimes less is more and beauty comes in the process of adaptation – a perspective even more important in this time of pandemic!

This is a value that I hold dearly to my heart. I really believe in equipping the next generation with knowledge so that they can rise up, become better and quicker.

When you first enter an industry, it’s easy to see only the greatest highs and the greatest lows. In fact, progress, as well as everything in the middle, is what I believe to be the most important. Focus on setting small goals and aim for small achievements because this will be a long haul marathon. There’s no point sprinting and burning out at the start.

Surround yourself with friends whom you can talk about anything with, with no judgement or shame. Establish a deep connection and let them know when you’re struggling. I did not have these kinds of friends in the past, but now that I have newfound friends whom I trust, I feel like I have the capacity to stride further.

Be more sensitive to your surroundings. For me, it’s about connecting with real life and capturing its beauty in visual form. When you observe more, you also develop a higher level of self-awareness.
