I entered Ngee Ann Polytechnic at 48.

Not because I had to. Not because I failed at anything else.

I entered because I saw something coming — and I knew that adding skills to an old identity would not be enough.

I needed a new identity.

I already had an NUS degree. I had authored 9 books. I had built a following on TikTok.

But I was not where I needed to be — and I knew that the path I was on would not take me there.

So I pivoted.

Not upgraded. Pivoted.

There is a difference.

Upgrading assumes you are on the right track — just needing more fuel. Pivoting assumes you need a new track entirely.

In the age of AI, upgrading is not enough. You need to transform.

That is what I did. That is what I am still doing.

If you are considering a late start — stop considering. Start.

It is not too late. I am proof.
