Archbishop Peter Chong encouraged graduates of Montfort Boys Town last weekend to continue with the hard work when they join the career world.
He told the 45 graduates in carpentry, cabinet-making and automotive that the life story of Thomas Edison, inventor of batteries, electric lights and power, set a challenge for everyone to do better in life.
“Thomas Edison was enrolled into school but his teacher told his mum that he was slow and could not learn well like the other students,” Archbishop Chong said.
“So his mother took him home and taught him like any other teacher and Thomas started playing with wires in his room and that is how his invention started.
“Parents too are teachers and it is important that we support our children in achieving their dreams,” he said.
