Some thoughts on GP…
1. GP is really not about GP per se. No one goes around proclaiming to be a good General Paperist. Mastery in this subject is really about possessing the necessary thinking, reading and writing skills to help one in whatever discipline or interest one is pursuing e.g. the engineer can better communicate his/her ideas, the journalist is more aware of the world he/she is reporting on.
2. GP is also not about amassing knowledge for mere regurgitation. Your pen is not the inked usb cable for your mental hardisk. Your pen is supposed to be a sword–one that needs sharpening and practice with, and that’s why we need the skills contained in (1).
3. GP is also about humility. The more critically aware you are, the bigger your capacity for empathy, for understanding, for appreciation. At the end of the day, you don’t just develop the inquisitive mind, you also build up the mature person.

Dear Sir/Madam,
On behalf of the National Library Board (NLB), we would like to invite you to pledge your blog to the Singapore Memory Project as part of efforts to collect memories that are already manifested in existing online channels.
The Singapore Memory Project (SMP) is a national initiative to collect, preserve and provide access to Singapore’s knowledge materials. Spearheaded by NLB, the SMP aims to build a national collection of content in diverse formats (including print, audio and video), to preserve them in digital form, and make them available for discovery and research.
By pledging your blog to SMP, you are affirming that every memory matters. Whether your posts are an account of your daily life, or an expression of your thoughts, the SMP hopes to find a home for your memories so that it can help build towards an understanding of Singapore. You will also receive a badge that you can display on your blog in recognition of your contributions.
Contributors to this blog pledging initiative will be listed on Singapore Memory portal’s blog pledging webpage. All blogs pledged to SMP will archived using NLB’s web harvesting software, in addition to images of each blog’s landing page.
