I lived a hard life when I was little.I was abused(虐待)physically and mentally.Life as an adult was not better with a broken marriage.I tried to kill myself.But thankfully I was rescued by a teacher,and thanks to the help of the teacher,I rebuilt my life.

Today I am a reborn person,as founder of a home here in Sabah,Malaysia,and a general social worker and social activist.At the age of 38,I left for Camphill,Aberdeen,Scotland,where I graduated as a medical educationist and a guidance doctor.When I was asked which university I graduated from before going to Camphill,my answer was the “University of Life”.I am now 61 years old and still active in my services for the needy.

My friends,never ever have low opinions of anyone and always be careful of negative words that can destroy a person's life.I was laughed at being a mixed breed,and I was told that I was a hopeless child,with no brains,yet today I am a public figure,often sought for by various press media for my advice on various social problems.

For those who are going through some troubles in their life,never give up hope,because every event that happens in our life,whether it is good or horrible,teaches a lesson,from which we can learn something positive.Help from friends makes us useful people.I hope my life story will touch someone in need of help.If l can make it,you too can,even better than me.

I still remember the days when I was a youthful student in an engineering school. I lived a casual life, without caring about the future. I smoked, drank with friends and made girl friends. Little did I realize that casualness would certainly lead to loss.

     Two years had passed and I was staring down a report card that highlighted FAIL in more than half the subjects. I didn’t care, at least not till my dad found out about it. You see, I studied in India and unlike the United States where the students are expected to finance their own education, my dad financed me.

     Then came the day when my dad found out my habit of smoking. He lost his temper but he just told me, “Son, your allowance is cut in half from this moment on”. It hit me like a roundhouse kick (回旋踢) from Bruce Lee. I was jolted (震摇) out of my bones! I couldn’t comprehend how to pay off the debts that I had accumulated in college. I owed everybody money: the grocery store, the bars, the restaurants, my friends, etc. I was living a life filled with credit.

     When I went back to college, I knew that if I don’t change the way I live my life I won’t be able to pay everybody off. So I decided to make some changes, drastic changes. I quit smoking, cut off from my friends who led me down the wrong road, starting hanging out in libraries and reading my engineering books.

     One year later, I went from a miserable failure to a magna cum laude (优等成绩). Life was never the same again. This incident made me know that anything is possible if you take action and do something about it, however small or large. Even today it still motivates me when I feel that I’m about to lose or give up. It reminds me that I can do it!
