“What’s the pebble in your shoes?” I’m honored to give a speech as top graduate during the graduation celebration of Company Of Good Fellowship cohort 6! “To be sure, man’s search for meaning may arouse inner tension rather than inner equilibrium. However, precisely such tension is an indispensable prerequisite of mental health.” Dr Viktor E. Frankl, psychologist and prisoner of War survivor, reminds us in his book “Man’s search for Meaning” that 'He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.' Indeed for 12 weeks, we faced challenges and embarked on learning journeys that “aroused this inner tension”. From assisting the CEO in building a fictional island, working with cute horses, to using legos to demonstrate our superpower - I looked forward to these experiential learning outside of the office, which helped me to better understand my own strengths and purpose. As Tony Soh, CEO of NVPC - Towards a City of Good said, “What’s the pebble in your shoes?” This discomfort will propel us to do something. May I wish that all of us find that pebble in our shoes. As we continue our search for meaning, aligning our personal purpose with company purpose, this is just the beginning. We are now part of the larger NVPC family in this lifelong journey of growth and service to others. We don’t need to do this alone. Let us continue to inspire, lead change with courage, and a steadfast belief in the power of our 'why'. Congratulations to the remarkable graduating class of COG Fellowship 6 cohort!
