Here's some inspiration for dejected O-level students, courtesy of a man whose teacher once told him he was hopeless.
You're too naughty, his English teacher in Changkat Changi Secondary School told him 30 years ago. You're not good enough for this school.
Go to a vocational institute (the forerunner to the Institute of Technical Education) instead.
Instead of being demoralised and feeling inferior, homegrown entrepreneur Jason Sim, 45, became even more determined to prove that teacher wrong.
Today, through hard work, foresight and some luck, his company - Jason Parquet - is one of the leaders in timber flooring here, with an annual revenue of between $28 million to $30 million.
