SG50 is upon us in two days time. Celebrations abound all over the island. As we celebrate our nation’s 50 years of modern nationhood, what do we celebrate? (rightly speaking, Singapore can be traced back to Temasek, which would make Singapore 200+ years old)
For the longest time, we celebrate successful entrepreuners and business man and woman for their business acumen and material success. We celebrate actors and actresses for their acting, beauty and looks. We celebrate singers and musicians for their talents and mastery of vocals and instruments. We celebrate top students for their academic excellence.Don’t get me wrong, not suggesting to undermine people’s success and effort. But are there other things worth celebrating? Fortunately, there is.
“Seeing the happiness in the eyes of the Syrian refugee children is just priceless. We started our journey to happiness with making others happy.”
These are such beautiful words that speak of such loveliness in the Turkish couple who decided to get married in a different way. Makes me feel so inspired!
Let’s celebrate this couple’s wisdom and kindness! Isn’t this as worthwhile emulating, if not more?We may know of those around us with wisdom, kindness and compassion in Singapore.
Why not celebrate and share this? You might just inspire someone to do some good today! ^_^
