[Post 1009] “50 Years Of My Life Were Marked By Failure”: How I Turned My Life Around | Dear Singapore

Summary

✊ Sheldon often jokes that he has a “PhD in failure.” Twice divorced, twice bankrupt, once homeless at Changi Beach — and later diagnosed with a rare, incurable disease. But today, he leads tours at Enabling Village, teaches mental health awareness, and uses humour and honesty to break down stigma.

In this Dear Singapore letter, Sheldon reflects on his struggles and his second chance at life — and why his message to all of us is simple: don’t give up.
