The power of kindness


NOV 13 was World Kindness Day. In a world where we are constantly busy with the hustle and bustle of work and life, let us not forget the importance of being kind. I am reminded by the motto my dear friend and former barrister-cum-entrepreneur Soo Shea Pin has always lived by, which is to “be kind”.

These days, we are constantly bombarded with distressing situations, whether it is brought on by politics, war and conflict or natural disasters. We live in an unkind world where kindness may not seem like a quality which can command respect or drive success yet history and contemporary examples show us otherwise.
