Sharon Au, former Singaporean TV host, shared in an Instagram video post on 27 November her thoughts on resilience and what she learnt from the failures and challenges that she had to overcome in her life.
"Life did not turn out as I had planned," Au said. "After I graduated from Hwa Chong Junior College, I didn't go straight to university because I had some financial issues. So I spent the next 10 years working as an actress and host for our local TV station."
The 46-year-old recounted how she retired from the entertainment industry at the age of 30 to study overseas at Waseda University in Tokyo, where she majored in liberal arts.


Au said she had to learn Japanese in order to take the university entrance examination, to fulfil the lifelong dream of her mother for her to be a university graduate. "I spent the next four years living alone in Japan and learning a new language, a new culture, new skills, but most of all, to learn how to fend for myself away from my comfort zone for survival."
"What I really want to share with you is what I learned during that time: that failure is really nothing to be afraid of. Yes, you fall, you fail, your ego gets bruised, you get injured, and sometimes it takes a long, long time for you to recover. But at the end of the day, we stand right back up on our feet. In fact, I've noticed that I've emerged stronger each time I recover from a setback. And in hindsight, I look back and I'm grateful for all the times that I've made mistakes, and failed terribly, because without them, I don't think I would be as resilient and unwavering as I am today," said Au.

She ended off by saying, "The important message I hope to share with you today is: be fearless. Fail as much as you can. But always stand right back up and be humble. And know the importance of unlearning, so that you can learn and relearn new skills, new character, new power, new strength."
Au had said in an interview earlier this year that the actual reason she decided to leave showbiz at the peak of her career was that her then-boyfriend's parents looked down on actors; she felt that she had to obtain a university degree in order to marry her boyfriend. However, that boyfriend broke up with her after she moved to Japan.
She had returned to Singapore in June this year during the summer holidays in France, where she is working as an investment director at a private equity firm. She returned to Paris in August.
 
She looks more and more like a Japanese obasan. She might carve out a new of career in JAV since she's fluent in Nihongo. Dear Sharon, let your abalone see daylight while it's still moist.

Talk is cheap. Will she open her legs for a low SES Sinkie guy?

Yawn.... nothing but a crock of motherhood statements that are as old as the hills.

She seems like a valuable asset for the PAP. Why didn't the PAP invite her for tea session? It's not like the PAP wouldn't co-opt 'celebrity' halfwits and using their fame to win votes.
