President thanked the previous Exco for their work done. The club has achieved Distinguished Club (5 pts) last term, with Jet Ding being the precious 20th member.

















President encouraged everyone to make their dreams come true by setting goals. Have a dream, set a deadline to achieve it. By setting a deadline and target, you will push yourself to achieve it. Siva shared about his success is due to the goals being set for him as part of the DCP programme.
Being humble and realistic, the goal for this year's DCP will be Select Distinguished Club (7 pts).

Aloysius: Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible to visible. Share how you go about setting goals to turn invisible to visible.

Andrew: Goals are not only absolutely necessary to motivate us, they are essential to really keep us alive. What is one goal you have that have kept you motivated to achieve?

Jet: In life, as in football, you won't go far unless you know where the goalposts are. How do you think the game of football is like a team goal setting?

Victor: Man is a goal seeking animal. His life only has meaning if he is reaching out and striving for his goals." Share a meaningful goal you have benefitted others.

Kay Chuan: Life can be pulled by goals just as surely as it can be pushed by drives. Do you think we should set our goals or we should be driven by someone to achieve certain objectives in life?
