Hi everyone, I am Lat from Malaysia.
I am a reader, writer and lover of life.
Reading and writing came naturally to me. But I didn't start out loving life. I was born with facial paralysis on the left side of my face. Due to that, I struggled with confidence and self-esteem issues through my growing years. Being painfully shy was a huge obstacle to me.
I am happy to say that I am (mostly) over it now. I got through it through reading and learning. And experimenting . And meditation.
I worked as a mechanical engineer for many years. Then, as an app developer.
Now I am happy to teach and coach others on music therapy, confidence and living a champion life.
No one should feel disempowered..I feel.
I look forward to contributing here...cheers!

Hi Lat. Welcome to Steemit!
Welcome Lat! Malaysia is a beautiful country, awesome story and I think you'll fit right in! :D
Welcome to Steemit! I'm glad you decided to join me here! Did you see my post in Choose Yourself?
I did see your post. Thanks for that! And here I am.
Music therapy. So you are a musician too? Engineering, music, teaching, meditation .......... you've got every corner of your brain engaged!
I sing...how about you?
Nothing right now. I used to play tabla. Had a teacher in New Delhi for a year, and again at a temple in Toronto. Played tabla and other percussion instruments in some bands.
I sing indian classical vocals so tabla is an intrinsic part of the performance.
Welcome Lat! It's a pleasure to have you here!
Greetings! "No-one should feel disempowered." I love that sentiment. You'll fit right in here!
