George Tan is a human resource professional, change agent, head-hunter, entrepreneur, writer, publisher, hope-giver and life-long student.

During his senior human resource appointments at international organizations like Westin Hotel and the conglomerate First Capital Corporation, George sought to empower people to bring out their best. His passion is sharing his personal story to inspire and help others realise their dreams. His life story is featured in the Singapore edition of Chicken Soup for the Soul. His struggles and triumphs are encapsulated in his books, Soulprints I — BreakThrough and Rough Life Rich Life.
Do you wish to get better grades in school? Have you ever dreamed of being a top student? If your answer to these questions is “yes!”, then this is the book for you. In this book, the author shares his personal story about how he progressed from doing badly in primary school to topping his class in postgraduate studies, whilst dealing with obstacles like poverty and parental abuse. He also shares with readers the stories of other past scholars who won various scholarships. Unlike most books on study and examination techniques which are written by teachers, examiners, psychologists and other “experts”, this book is written from the perspective of the students themselves. From interviews conducted with these past scholars, we learn about their well-proven study and examination techniques as well as factors that either helped, hindered or motivated them in their studies. This, then, is one of the rare “How to …” books that addresses the issue of motivation and is generously garnished with lots of inspiration, for your success in studies, exams, and in life.
