Giving

Sunday, November 28, 2010

This is the time of the year where many would think about giving even as we go about preparing for the festive season. I too am in this frame of mind. So, #1 on my bucket list is to Start a Charitable Organization. I have always been passionate about doing service, and have taken every opportunity to participate in charitable events. No matter how busy my schedule is, I try my best to make time to help for I truly believe lending a helping hand is a most fulfilling feeling. It doesn’t matter whether the service is a big contribution or simply a small gesture to help a fellow human being, it is taking the action that matters. Now, it may not be anytime soon, but one day, if I can create my own organization helping people out there, whether it ends up being global, or nation-wide, or even just within my city, as long as I make a difference, I’ll be happy. Strange, isn’t it – how helping others can make one feel so good? I will leave you to ponder on the following quote:

“I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again.” -- Étienne de Grellet du Mabillier

Welcome

Thanks for stopping by!

I'm so glad you've found your way to my blog, Dream, Believe, Live... This blog is designed to share with you my passion and my dreams – things that I want to do before I leave this world. If you like, call it my Bucket List. With each post, I will tell you about a new idea that I am passionate about. I believe if one dares dream it, one can come to believe it, and hopefully, one will live it. The ideas may be crazy, or serious, or funny, or even ordinary, but all of them will be meaningful to me. One day, in the far future, I will come back to this very first post and read through each idea, and by then, I hope to have lived some of my dreams. And maybe, you would want to try that idea, and add it to your very own bucket list! One more thing, once you have had a chance to scroll down through a post or two, please feel free to drop me a note or leave a comment. I would love to hear from you!
