In a lengthy Instagram post shared today , local actress Jacelyn Tay explained her reasoning behind her thinking.
"Told my son… 'If everything you do is for achieving something, you'll be disappointed because you don't get what you aim to achieve every time, be it exams, popular schools, titles or wealth'," wrote Jacelyn. To her, focusing on yourself and your purpose trumps everything else as "we come on Earth to develop our gifts and fulfil our calling".
"The only three things I ask you to never compromise and always put them on priority in life are, eating, shitting and sleeping," she playfully warned."I don't care if it is PSLE or a million-dollar project. When it is time to eat, shit and sleep, you better put down everything and go do these three. The rest can wait."
