Billi Lim (known as worlds 1st. failure Guru) willingly admits that he was born into the lower ranks of society, among people who spoke rudely where "bad" and "dirty" words were the order of the day. He was born on 29th November 1950 into a family of 14 children. His father was a butcher and his mother an ordinary housewife. His childhood was tough and there wasn't a day that went by without one of his brothers, sisters or even his mother being scolded or beaten up by his father. May be it was that tough upbringing that taught him to take the knocks and survive. Billi, currently Asia's top speaker, is a highly sought after motivational and inspirational speaker whose current speaking circuit covers Malaysia, India, Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Japan, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan and USA.
