Take Charge of Your Life!

Synopsis

Being a late bloomer, Ben was often labeled as being stupid. It did not help when he attended a missionary school and was told everything is destined to be. Refusing to accept his predicament, he was determined to change his life.

In this talk, he will share how he has applied Buddhist principles to change his life from being a child of low self esteem and poor academic performance to getting his First Class Honours in NUS and subsequently establishing his career and family with 3 children by the age of 31.

About the Speaker:

Ben is a young father of 3 children and is responsible for Asset Management and Business Development in a MNC. In the past, he used to be a Youth leader and committee member of Buddhist Fellowship, Ti-Sarana Buddhist Association and NUS Buddhist Society.
