Eric Sim, founder of Institute of Life, shares how he uses his street skills from selling noodle as a kid to advance his career in investment banking and his life in general. Now as a banker, lecturer, speaker and writer, he has found his happy place.

 

Eric Sim helped his dad sell noodle on the street of Singapore growing up. He failed both Math & English at School and received discouraging remarks from his teacher. Despite the remarks, Eric graduated from university with an engineering degree and advanced his study and career in finance and investment banking.
