I always thought getting ahead was the point. My grandmother showed me I was wrong

The article reflects on the author's reevaluation of success through the lens of their grandmother's life. In Singapore, societal norms often emphasize individual achievement, such as academic success, career advancement, and visible accomplishments. However, the author's grandmother, described as a homemaker, dedicated her life to volunteering and serving her community without seeking recognition or material gain. She spent over two decades tutoring children with learning difficulties and contributed extensively to her church, performing tasks like organizing events, preparing food, and welcoming attendees. Her approach to life centered on selfless service rather than personal accolades. The author realized that their understanding of success, shaped by societal expectations, was limited compared to their grandmother’s values of contributing to others.
