MOK CHIN & ERIN: YES, WE CAN —THE QUIET STRENGTH NO ONE SAW | PASSING ON THE FLAMES OF WISDOM

“Pain in my hands. Pain in my legs.” “But I kept going.” “What does it take to break free from a life of exhaustion — when survival leaves no room for rest?” In this story, we witness the quiet resilience of a man who came to Singapore at just 10 years old, working as a coffee boy for 12 long years. Standing for hours, hands aching, body stretched to its limits — he worked relentlessly, yet had no savings, no security, and no certainty of a future. → Share this to someone who might need it today. “I worked so hard… but in the end, I earned nothing.” When a friend suggested getting a driving licence — a chance at a better life — the road ahead was anything but easy. After long workdays, he studied through the night, often until dawn. For seven days straight, he did not sleep — driven by one simple hope: to pass. → Share this to someone who might need it today. “I never slept for seven days — because I needed to pass.” And he did. With his licence came something he had never truly known before — freedom. Time with family. Time to breathe. Time to rest. → Share this to someone who might need it today. “I felt very happy. I got my freedom. I got my life back.” Alongside his story, another voice emerges — a reflection of shared struggle and quiet determination. Once told that women should not study, she began working early. Yet deep inside, there was a yearning — a belief that she could do more. Against doubt and expectation, she took her O-Levels as a private candidate. → Share this to someone who might need it today. “I didn’t know I could achieve a distinction.” → Share this to someone who might need it today. “I felt proud. Satisfied. Overjoyed.” Through sleepless nights, perseverance, and self-belief, both stories echo the same truth — growth often comes disguised as hardship, and strength is built when no one is watching. Through their journeys, they remind us: Resilience is forged through endurance Opportunity begins when we dare to believe in ourselves Education, effort, and courage can rewrite inherited limits When one person persists, another finds hope → “Believe in yourself.” → “Yes, you can.” → “Yes — we can.” This is — Passing on the Flames of Wisdom. Beyond storytelling, it honours unseen labour, quiet courage, and the power of perseverance to change lives. Take a moment today — Reflect on how far you’ve come. Encourage someone who is still struggling. And remember: even the longest nights can lead to a new dawn. Sometimes, all it takes is one person saying — I believe in you — for a life to change. → Share this to someone who might need it today. ++++ IAMinVISIBLE creates spaces where real stories open hearts, shift perspectives, and uplift diverse voices — catalysing empathy and change across workplaces, schools, and communities.
