Smile Catalysts, Be One!

I am a SMILE CATALYST project

At a crowded bus stop, this middle aged lady alighted from a bus and she started to run…to pick up a couple of 10 dollar notes on the ground a distance away… then she continued running to catch up with the owner of the notes who was fast disappearing into the crowd. The young lady turned around,received the money with a huge smile and surprise. Amidst the streaming crowd,these two ladies stood chatting –connected in a link of joy.

Smile catalysts do exactly that – put a smile on our faces. It could be someone holding the door open for you, a kind stranger returning you the money you dropped or a friend giving you a helping hand to pull through a challenging time.

Oftentimes,our lives are enriched by their presence and at times, our lives are changed by their presence. And the most wonderful aspect is that there is always a joyous ripple effect. When kindness and goodness touch us, it is natural for us to show it to others as well isn’t it?

Imagine the difference our community would be when there are many of us who consciously choose to be smile catalysts?

This is the mission of “I am a Smile Catalyst Project”, to encourage people to remember and appreciate the smile catalysts in our lives and to know that anyone can be a smile a catalyst.

To kick start the project, we are aiming for 1000 YES by 8 August 2012 and present it as a birthday gift to Singapore on 9 August 2012. To be a smile catalyst, you simply make a decision that you will brighten up someone’s day/ life when and according to what you are able to do.

You can pledge to be a Smile Catalyst by liking the I am a Smile Catalyst facebook page or email us at smilecatalysts@gmail.com with your name. 

Share and invite your family and friends to be one too! Together, we create a happier place!
