The army had imparted me with plenty of life skills and no doubt moulded me into a better individual. There were much to be learnt from mixing with friends and superiors from various background. I was particularly impressed by the meticulous mindset that all of them had towards work. In the army, we believe that 'Devil is in the detail', which means that small things in plans and schemes that are often overlooked can cause serious problems later on. Hence I have developed a more cautious attitude towards any work given to me.
The valuable skill that I have taken out of army will definitely come to play for my stay here in NUS. We are surrounded by details everyday, such as the design on the wall of your faculty or even the print on your bottle. By paying attention to details, we not only make lesser mistakes in our work but also learn to be more appreciative of life's smallest pleasure that often go unnoticed.
