P.A.R.K. Star Award Winners

Wouldn't it be nice to be doing something that you are really passionate about and at the same time spreading kindness to the community? Blogging is the answer if you are wondering how you can achieve both feats at the same time. Through blogging, useful knowledge can be shared among like-minded friends in the community, which can in turn inspire more people to share, especially when they have benefited previously from those who shared.

In this post, I would like to introduce to you two great blogs which have been around for quite awhile (since 2009 or earlier) and have a huge fan base. They are "A Singaporean Stockmarket Investor (ASSI)" and "My Wok Life".

ASSI is an investment blog in which the author, AK, is a humble and generous person who is ever willing to share his knowledge on investing and  his analysis of the stock market. There are many fans who made profits by learning from him. AK's kind nature can also be seen from the way he constantly encourages his readers to contribute back to the society by donating part of what they earn through investing to charitable organizations. He is also seen to be supporting a few charities regularly like "Singapore Children's Society" and meaningful initiatives like "BetterWorldBooks". AK epitomizes someone who is willing to share the good things in life with others and this is certainly a true act of kindness. By doing one act of kindness per blog entry, AK is making much difference to the community and spreading kindness to many beneficiaries.

Patrica, the author of "My Wok Life", is very passionate about cooking and has enriched many readers through her generous sharing of the recipes of many unique and delicious home cooked dishes. Patrica has spent much effort in making her recipes reader-friendly as well as including useful tips like where to get the ingredients, calories content of the dishes and their health benefits. Such acts of kindness can benefit greatly her readers. Despite her busy schedule of juggling work and family commitment, Patrica still finds time to cook daily for her family and blog on a consistent basis. This shows that when you are passionate about something, you will find time to do it, no matter how busy you may be. If we can all be passionate about our hobbies and sharing our knowledge with others, one step at a time, we are constantly spreading small act of random kindness around. When we embrace this thinking for life, we can really make a world of difference to people around us.

For their great initiative and selfless sharing, I am proud to present the P.AR.K. Star Award to both AK and Patricia. Please continue to keep the up good work and spread the kindness around.
