The pow seller!

  The other day when my physics teacher was “teaching” in class he brought up his usual “grandfather story” as he would like to call it which means stories which just pops out of his mind with no reason or purpose.Who could blame the guy? He’s so experienced in life!
I’m a physics teacher,dont play play with me” is one of his trade mark phrase.

As always he started his story and i didn’t understand a word he was saying bcoz i was to busy making paper sampan behind.Then the magic word came….POW!!! Thats one of my all time favourite food man!
Thats when i started paying attention to his story…it went something like this…

“Last time ah there was man here….he n his wife go singapore when their son very very young….the man go there sell pow and the wife clean houses……very poor family….but ah the son very very hardworking one….always study study only….when he grow up ah he entered a very chun university in singapore itself…n then ah he slowly enter politics….now he is a orang besar  in singapore ministry….in the upcoming elections if he wins he’ll become singapores number two man me….so u all better study hard!!”

My physics teacher is a very concerned man.He really takes our future seriously and constantly reminds us of the importance of doing well in exams and getting into public universities.His “POW” story really got me thinking…People last time really know how to make something out of nothing…they all come from a poor background and still manage to be  established when they reach adulthood.Is it going to be the complete opposite for our generation?  We’re living a considerably comfortable life now….are we going to fail in our adulthood? If u ask me u rather not take the risk and start working for it now…

“while most people dream success,those who succeed wake up and work for it”

Thats a famous quote that all of us should follow at all times…
