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<p>As scouts, I do believe most of you would have heard of the phrase &#8220;A Good Turn A Day&#8221; (there was even <a href=\"http:\/\/giftsforpeace.scout.org\/en\/projects\/a_good_turn_a_day_kindness_all_year_round\" target=\"_blank\">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<p>The objective of this post is to remind\/spread the idea of <strong>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<p>Have you done your good turn today?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was reading this article titled &#8220;Learn from Taiwan, Singaporeans&#8221; at TODAYonline and had some thoughts after that (copy of article here, in case the article&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[93,94,95],"class_list":["post-512","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-a-good-turn-a-day","tag-graciousness","tag-kindness"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dragonscouts.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/512","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dragonscouts.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dragonscouts.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dragonscouts.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dragonscouts.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=512"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.dragonscouts.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/512\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":514,"href":"https:\/\/www.dragonscouts.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/512\/revisions\/514"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dragonscouts.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dragonscouts.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=512"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dragonscouts.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
