Paraphrase Quotation

“Developing excellent communication skills is absolutely essential to effective leadership.The leader must be able to share knowledge and ideas to transmit a sense of urgency and enthusiasm to others. If a leader can’t get a message across clearly and motivate others to act on it, then having a message doesn’t even matter.” 

                             Gilbert Amelio, former President and CEO of National Semiconductor Corp


According to Gilbert Amelio, former President and CEO of National Semiconductor Corp, the development of exceptional communication skills is critical in being an effective leader. One must be able to impart knowledge and ideas succinctly whilst inspiring others to take action immediately. Without this, a message is empty and holds no meaning.

This inspires me to carry on the legacy of our family, knowing what we do connects society in numerous ways they might not even ...

Summary Draft #2

 In the article, "Electric vehicles will take over Singapore. But here’s what must happen first" by Dr Sanjay C Kuttan, Chairman of Sustainable Infrastructure Committee at Sustainable Energy Association of Singapore, it is mentioned that  Singapore has declared that it plans to retire internal combustion engines by 2040, paving the way for electric vehicles.

Singapore aims to have roughly 10 times more charging point density, and have not implemented incentives for drivers to buy electric vehicles unlike Norway.  As Singapore looks towards the use of EVs, dealing with traffic congestion issues, adapting ...
