Singapore has progressed and grown a lot over the years. We have many achievements, be it the economy we have now or even our social status. Even though we have obtained so many achievements over the past 50 years, we must never be complacent. In fact, we as a nation, need to work harder to overcome even more challenges as we progress through the years.
If Singapore becomes complacent, we will start to think that because of the many achievements and things we have accomplished, there is no need to work hard anymore as we are still able to accomplish great things with minimal effort. This attitude that we have when we are complacent will affect us because other countries will be able to see that flaw of ours and will do their best to be even better than us.
It is just like how students should not be complacent because they scored really well in a test or topped the class. If they become complacent, they will not make any effort to improve and will start to take the tests lightly. In actual reality, when they have received their next test results, they will realise the drop in their marks or grades and will start to buck up again. This shows that for Singapore to maintain our 'level' or to continue to get many achievements, all of us have to work hard together and grow as one country. Complacency? No, forget it.
