Hello World,
A proud Singapore mother came to me today, joyfully announcing her 15 year old boy has solved "#cherylsbirthday" today. I'm glad that her son is able to solve the math set rightfully for his age. But most importantly, she made me checked my page again, and realised, wow, that post was already a week old. How time flies.....
Please allow me to share my feelings to this saga.
Thank you everyone who shared the post. You gave me 3 days of fame. My name made it to all major media on this planet, because of you (CNN, BBC, NY Times, Straits Times, Apple Daily, Sin Chew Daily and tons more).
I'm grateful and touched. Not because of how the post reached out to the world, but how the world reached out to me. I see my post shared in all kinds of languages (Chinese, Cantonese, German, Russian, Vietnamese, Arabic, Burmese, Bahasa Indonesian, Bahasa Melayu, Spanish, Finnish, etc.), that instinct to challenge brainy friends, that urge to seek for an answer to a puzzle, the effort to translate it into your language, so your fellow countrymen will not be left out, I see how attractive knowledge and science can be.
Some, choose not to comment publicly. They exchange their solutions and doubts through private messages. I have to tell you, I was struggling with Google Translate, as the messages too came in all sorts of languages, and I respect people who speaks and write in their mother tongue, I just hope they too understand my reply in simple English. Its a wonder, how we can still communicate while each of us speaking (typing) different languages.
You, show me sparkles.
Sparkles of wisdom, science and language. Sparkles of the wonder of diversity and unity.
Now, as the world has paid its attention on me, what does a humble TV host on a small island can offer back to the world?
I hope, through my humble island-life, opened a small window for you, to peep into a dimension which can be thousands of miles away from you. And while you chance upon my life, share a piece of your life with me too. My life might not be long enough for me to step on every soil on earth, but I'm sure that my mind is open enough to welcome the world.
Lastly, never stop challenging yourself. (and the world, if you have time)
Kenneth.
