“I want my child to cherish life’s simple pleasures. As adults, we always strive for more. But if we enjoy simple pleasures, we will always be happy.”

– Kuo Jian Hong, Artistic Director, The Theatre Practice, Great Women Of Our Time 2008 Arts & Media winner

(When her eldest daughter, Inez, knew that she was trying out for the event, she said, “Mummy, it will be a miracle if you get selected!”) “We should not wait for miracles to happen; if we give our best, miracles can happen! I also hope to show her that it is not the success or failure that counts. It’s the experience of getting there."

– Sophia Pang, Member, Commonwealth Women’s Antarctic Expedition, Great Women Of Our Time 2009 Health, Sports & Wellness nominee

“My aim is to raise a new generation of successful young people who take charge of their lives, live out all their dreams, and ultimately, contribute back to society.”

– Merry Riana, Millionaire Entrepreneur, Best-selling author, motivational speaker, Great Women Of Our Time 2010 Finance & Commerce winner

“I want to be able to say to my daughter, ‘If mummy can start and finish her post-graduate degree in her 30s with both a young family and a job, you have no excuses for giving up whenever things get tough!”

– Hairani Hassan-Joshi, Director, Singapore Sports Museum, Great Women Of Our Time 2012 Arts & Media winner
