Which specific environmental problem should a notion such as your homeand focus for the nest 10 years?

For my homeland, Singapore, growing population will be the most crucial environment concern for the nest 10 years. According to minister mentor Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore's population will rise from the current 4 million to 6 million in the future. This will inevitably lead to an increase in consumption and waste produce in Singapore. Moreover, an increased in population will also cause the rise in demands ranging from luxury items such as cars to readily available things like plastic bags. On the average, a person consume about 3 litres of oil and generate nearly 2 kg of rubbish a day. Hence, growing population can be seen as the root of exhaustion of natural resources and all pollutions. Although the government of Singapore has been doing their part in reducing pollution and consumption like imposing strict rules and regulations in industries, it is far from sufficient. Everybody in Singapore should play their own parts in conserving resources. In Scotland, teenagers wasted almost a third of all the electricity consumed in gadgets that are left in standby mode.With increasing population, the situation in Singapore will definitely worsen. However, more advance technology like hydrogen fuel is urgently required to dramatically reduce pollutions and exhaustion of crude oil to the point that the harm cause by human can be reverted. If we fail, the price for future generation will be too dear to pay.

The meaning of life.

The meaning of life from my point of view is simply doing your very best in every aspect of life. However, others often only try to achieve their best instead. Although it sounds similar, 'trying' often allow one to give excuses to themselves to procrastinate rather than giving their full hundred and ten percent. Telling yourself. "You can do it." rather than, " I'll try my best" actually give oneself less room for failure and hence, more probability to succeed. At the end of the day, one can confidently say to himself that he have done his best irregardless of the result. Through this simple value, I feel that life as a student, which is full of dull theories and equations, becomes more fulfilling and challenging. For this instance, I have to learn English language which I loathe in tertiary education. Ironically, this module is becoming more interesting as I strive to identify the flaws in my writing and at the same time, make more friends. In fact, I felt that EG1471 tutorial is most interactive and the least boring class among the modules that I have took after only 2 lessons. (Perhaps it is because all my other classes are technical based modules. Oops!) Thus I wish that everyone who have read this can strive for the best and enjoy what you are doing. Life is short, do not live in regret.
