Everyone has a dream that they wish to fulfil in their lifetime. Some dream of retiring comfortably at a young age, while others want to own multiple cars and houses.
A young man recently shared his inspiring story of how he overcame personal trials and obstacles and was eventually able to buy not one, but two properties at the age of just 26.
Started working at 13yo
Taking to XiaoHongShu to share his experience, the man named JS Lim said that he wasn’t born into a well-to-do family and began working at 13-years-old while he was still a student to help alleviate his parents’ financial burden.
“My father had an accident at the workplace and suffered hip injuries, which rendered him unable to work for long hours. From that point on, I learnt the importance of earning a living.
In three generations, one of them has to work hard. If it isn’t your parents doing so, then it’s on the next generation to do so.
“This isn’t chicken soup (for the soul). This is reality,” he wrote.

Thankfully, Lim’s hard work and perseverance paid off much later after he landed a job at Nirvana Group, the country’s largest funeral company, where he has worked for the past eight years.
“I’m very happy to say that at the age of 26, I’m able to buy a semi-D house for my parents, which is the best gift for them. Now, I can provide the best life for them and have them not worry about finances anymore.”
Lim also revealed that the RM1.5 million semi-D was the second property he bought, with the first being purchased for investment purposes.
‘Don’t give up on your dreams’
Towards the end of the post, Lim called upon Malaysians who shared a similar experience not to give up on whatever dreams they have for the future.
“Don’t be afraid to chase after your dreams. Not matter how far-fetched it may be, as long as you work hard, it will come true one day.”
