"Average is the new exceptional"
Earlier this week, it was reported that Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam, speaking at an entrepreneurship talk, remarked that Singaporeans, compared to those living in less well-off societies, seem to have less of an urge to be "exceptional" in what they do; in fact, the Minister said that most Singaporeans apparently are satisfied with just being competent or being above average in what they do.
Reading his remarks, I will assume the Minister has not watch the video above (note: for those of you all who prefer to skip the jokes, the serious part of the video starts from 3 minutes and 55 seconds onwards).
