I was reading this article titled “Learn from Taiwan, Singaporeans” at TODAYonline<\/a> and had some thoughts after that (copy of article here, in case the article is removed<\/a>).<\/p>\n

I have witness such acts of ungraciousness as mentioned in the article personally myself. However, I do need to point out that gracious acts do happen (such as giving up seats) but it is not happening as much as I hope it to be.<\/p>\n

As scouts, I do believe most of you would have heard of the phrase “A Good Turn A Day” (there was even a project by HQ<\/a> based on this idea). The idea was that your scarf have a knot at the end it, to remind yourself to do a good deed everyday. You will then only untie this knot if the good deed has been done. This act of good turn can be a simple act of giving up your seat or giving way to others.<\/p>\n

The objective of this post is to remind\/spread the idea of A Good Turn A Day<\/strong>, be it scout or non-scout, Singapore or worldwide. I believe if this idea can be spread successfully, the world will be a much better place to live in.<\/p>\n

Have you done your good turn today?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
