how often we forget.
"...On his weekly visit, my grandfather would squeeze my puny arm - for I was not eating and was losing weight - and say 'Eat, you must eat.' He would look at me with his kindly eyes, and then not know what else ot say.

The hardy immigrant who, during his lifetime, had survived an arduous sea journey, the Japanese occupation, and all kinds of hardship, coul dnot understand why this grandson, who had the benefit of an education, who never had to suffer, was now suffering.

'Eat, grow strong,' was all he could offer.

...

Now, as I trace with my finger the inscription of his name on the cool marble, I realise this is the legacy he has left me: to learn to be strong, to be unafraid, to take change as it comes, and to live a life that is committed to at least one thing - to work, the family or the community."
- Richard Lim in Got Singapore, pg 40-41

"Remember that I have commanded you to be determined and confident! Do not be afraid or discouraged, for I, the LORD your God, am with you wherever you go."
- Joshua 1:9

"Simon Peter answered him, 'Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God."
- John 6:68-69
