Video below: Goh Ken-Yi (37), grandson of the late Dr Goh Keng Swee gave a personal glimpse into the life of his doting grandfather.

The part (around 5.27 min) that hits me was:

He (Dr Goh) said:"Ken-Yi, all these doesn't matter. In working life, first and foremost, what you need to be is be a reliable and a responsible person...."

At the end, he shared a quote from one of Dr Goh's favourite book:

Book - The ascent of man author by Dr. Jacob Bronowski

 “Knowledge is not a loose-leaf notebook of facts. Above all, it is a responsibility for the integrity of what we are, primarily of what we are as ethical creatures. ....

...personal commitment of a man to his skill, the intellectual commitment and the emotional commitment working together as one, has made the Ascent of Man.” -- Jacob Bronowski (The Ascent of Man, 1973)
