ONE MORE CHANCE: THE STORY OF BENNY SE TEO FROM HEROIN ADDICT TO RESTAURANT BOSS
Book ID/图书代码： 00755014B72504
English Summary/英文概要： By the time he was in Primary 5, Benny Se Teo was
packing opium and running the packets to his father’s opium den in Chinatown. At 15, Benny had his first puff of pot, then one night, he bought a straw of heroin and his troubles truly began.
In jail after his umpteenth arrest, he began to
bleed in his stomach and had to be rushed to hospital. In those hours, he remembered the Saviour he had accepted in 1980 at the first halfway house he had been sent to. And he remembered the pain he had caused his family—especially his mother. He decided to get clean and stay clean.
This is Benny’s story—of how his faith and the faith his friends placed in him, turned him from a hard-core heroin addict into a restaurant boss. But it is more than a story of a wasted youth—it is also a primer for young people who have the idealism and drive to start businesses that can help society and make the world a kinder place.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 小学五年级时，司徒保华 Benny Se Teo 就包装鸦片，并将鸦片包送到他父亲位于中国城的鸦片窟。15岁时，他买了一包海洛因，因而惹来了真正的麻烦。
入狱后，他因胃出血被送往医院。在那段时间里，他想起了1980年被送往的第一个小客栈里所遇见的救星，也想起来他给家庭所带来的痛苦——尤其是给他的母亲带来的痛苦。于是，他决定洗心革面。
这就是Benny的故事——讲述了他的信仰、以及朋友们对他的信任是如何另一个海洛因吸毒者一步步转变成为一名餐厅老板的。然而，这不仅仅是一部关于虚度青春的故事，对于抱有理想主义、并有创业目标的年轻人来说，更是一本入门读物。(LYR)
Awards/获奖情况：“眼下，社会创业是一个很新潮的词汇。年轻人尤其热衷，但其中也包含了许多问题和陷阱。我希望和大家分享这些困难，让大家更清楚的了解创业的过程。一开始，社会并未给予我重新做人的机会，但我给了自己又一次机会。有足够的人愿意选择相信我，如今，我可以给他人一次重新开始的机会。”——Benny Se Teo
“Social entrepreneurship is a buzz word now. Young
people are really keen on it, but there are also many
problems and pitfalls I suffered on the way. I want
them to know about these, so that they can get in
with their eyes open. Society may not have given me
another chance at first, but I gave myself one. Enough
people believed in me and now I can give others that
one more chance.”—Benny Se Teo
