I recently had a realization while watching Dispatches from Elsewhere: staying quiet is a form of selfishness. In the show, Fredwynn tells Peter that by not sharing his perspective, he’s withholding something valuable from the group. That hit home. For too long, I’ve been a quiet solo-builder, but as I pursue an apprenticeship with AI Singapore (AISG), I’ve realized that my mission, and the knowledge I gain, belongs to the community.

Singapore has no natural resources; we only have our people. I believe AI is our unique opportunity to transcend our physical limits and export local talent to the world. To get there, I’m attacking this from three angles: building real-world solutions, earning technical certifications, and finally, refusing to be 'selfish' by sharing every step of this journey in public.

• First I will just solo-build, or team-build (I don't have many friends to start with actually), help my friends solve their issues, learning and building at the same time.
• Secondly, I will build my credibility by getting certifications, skills and knowledge
• And third, I will resolve to share more about my journey, because I recently realized that if I don't share, I'm being selfish with my knowledge. So ... I will share more, here on my blog, and also look out for upcoming videos on YouTube.

If I don't get the apprenticeship I will still keep building.

Thanks for reading.
