I attended SJS' 60th anniversary dinner last Saturday and caught up with some of my school teachers. A common thread Evelyn Lee, Joyce Chew and Joseph Chia said to me was: "You have changed, Paul."
When a man - knows who he is, is confident in his own body, knows how to deal with his emotions, face his fears, can stand resolute when needed, hold his own in conversation, doing so with compassion and integrity - he is now an adult human male.
After all, it's been said...being male is a matter of birth. Being a man is a matter of age. Being a gentleman is a matter of choice.
