I don't hear 'Thank you, excuse me, sorry' ... very often.I too, feel very sad that Singapore lacks courtesy.If I come late,I will apologise to the teacher and explain.Courtesy means that people are kind to one another.And maybe,it can change the world.

This is about whether creativity is inborn or can be taught.I personally think that it is inborn for some people and can be taught for others.But I think that those that are inborn are more creative.But if the teacher is a reknown artist,then it is possible for students to be better.
