A debate sometime back "Will Singapore have a Master level (Da Shi Ji) artist, scientist, philosopher.... "
I am incline to say "No, we will not."
Because a Master requires both TALENT and TIME. Without either, we won't have it.
Once there was pride in having a good lifelong vocation. But now the notion of a lifelong vocation has not only become rare but unacceptable.
Talent is thus not allowed to be developed over Time.
A more cruel reality, Master is somewhat nature and nurture...Many of us are pouring in large amount of Time in our non-Talents that make more economical sense.
We need a general culture-wide encouragement and respect for a vocation well-pursued.
