You are BEAUTIFUL, You are AWESOME, You are INSPIRING
And because we have been quite quiet for the last weeks, here are some details about the last Break Free operation.
The way they were presented in the Singapore press (Yuhuuuu! We made it for the press again!)
“Singapore’s people party stands for happiness, prosperity and progress, and it’s undeniable that for the latter two our country has excelled. According to the New Economic Foundation’s Happy Plant Index, Singapore is ranked 131th out of 178 countries; the public response has been that the government needs to create a much happier Singapore. A group of ambitious activists are trying to challenge Singapore’s mindset that the government is the sole responsible for individual happiness, because ultimately happiness is a personal choice.
Following the words of Mark Twain “I can live for two months on a good compliment.” The activist’s part of a group called Break Free conducted Operation Compliments at the pedestrian walkway, traffic light corners of Raffles City Mall, War Memorial Park, and even on buses to China Town. The group set up in groups holding up three placards sharing compliments, “You are Awesome”, “You are Beautiful”, “Smile for me”, “Wow! Wow! Wow!”, “You are Unique”, “You are Inspiring”. Operations Compliments objectives were not only to get over 400 smiles from pedestrians, bus, car, bike drivers; but especially to inspire others to smile for a better and healthier Singapore.”
And a few photos:
PS. We will post some more pictures and some spicy details about the operation soon…:)
And this is part of what makes you people so awesome!
