After few days, Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong passed away, a friend of mine was having a book title "My Story, Lim Goh Ting" that certainly caught attention. Lim Goh Tong was an immigrant who came to Malaya with less than 150 US dollar (RM525) and eventually became one of the richest men in the country.
What i want share with you all guys is 14 things that Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong teaches us in his book.
1) Never make language barrier a limitation to succeed.
2) Be polite, humble and respectful to others.
