I was talking to my Singaporean General Practitioner or "GP", at the Dublin Clinic, with Dr Teo. I would visit whenever I had a problem.
I had anal hemorrhoids once! It was the only embarrassing problem. I have no shame. I am a shameless, shameful person.
I'd pay $20 or $50 bucks, get a Medical Certificate (or a "MC") for 2 or 3 days, and avoid going to school.. so, my attendance was above 90%.
I was supposed to go to school 6 days a week. Well, it was university, it was fun to take holidays. I guess, I can say, it was good to "buy" holidays.
He would talk to me. He told me, he was doing training in "NS", or national service, which was a compulsory, conscription of young men to the army. They do it in Israel as well.
It's to make sure there's enough soldiers in case of an attack. Lee Kuan Yew, was traumatized, so maybe he possibly overcorrected due to his ordeals.
I think it's good to inculcate a survival mentality. I think it is better than the unacceptable alternative of a Tony Robbins Rhonda Byrne type abundance mentality.
There's a famous movie called Boys to Men and more about this in Singapore, in Israel, those who refuse to serve in the army are looked down upon.
In his training, for the army, he would tell me a few jokes he remembered.
When he was in the sea, floating in some kind of buoyant floating device, as part of survival training, so they learn to be tough, patient and endure.
Somebody, he screamed, "shark"!
