“I am very keen to learn; teach me as much as possible”

At the age of 15, Ron Soh left school, lost his confidence, labelled himself as a "high school drop-out" and felt useless because he did not have any proper qualifications. But he needed to survive, so to be able to put food on the table, Ron shifted his mindset and set out to prove his worth - first to himself, before he could prove it to the world.

His personal mantra became, “Don’t be afraid to take hardship, be positive and ready to learn new things every single day.” Today, he is the proud owner of Framelines Gallery in Singapore, a family man and an outstanding human being.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Ron and I am blown away by the spirit of resilience, humility and a "never give up" attitude. In spite of the feelings of unworthiness, his story tells of how we should never despise small beginnings - because they can be the launch pad to an inspirational and great life. All it takes is the right attitude, mindset and a belief that you are enough and are willing to do the work that is needed.
