We are at one of those self-appraising points in time when we—not only Penang Monthly, but also Penang Institute as a whole—stare hard into the rearview mirror
in order to orientate our journey forward.
In fact, individually, we do that all the time in life. When driving, for example, in order to stay safe and get where we wish to go, we scan our surroundings on all sides. This is all the more necessary when we are on the move, unlike if we were sitting in a still conference hall. In fact, we do that as pedestrians as well.
So, that’s a necessary habit to have. A good habit to have... predicting future movements based on past movements. It’s how you survive.
Doing is learning, and having learned things along the way, new ways of doing things present themselves— in fact, new things to do, too.
