Subject: Heroes - Reuben Koh/Yvonne Foong.

My personal belief: Societal change must first begin with the self.

You know, I had not joined or won in any writing competitions previously. It is true that my writing is full of grammatical mistakes. But to me, it is more important to write with passion, for a cause, for the betterment of the world and mankind. If we were to write, write for a greater purpose. That’s why I submitted a story to The Cicak knowing they are inline with my personal beliefs. Reuben’s as well.

    I think my poor eyesight and easily tired body is making me a lazy writer.

    “…my writing is full of grammatical mistakes. But to me, it is more important to write with passion, for a cause…”

    To an extent that’s true, but you wouldn’t want to make too many mistakes. The best thing is to keep it simple. If the passion is strong enough, you won’t need too many words.

    Yes I agree, that passion needs fewer words to be shown.
