BY WENDY LOH<br />
We are capable of creating<br />
wonders in life and our actions<br />
encourage others to do the<br />
same. We don’t have to be<br />
famous, special or privileged to<br />
make a difference. As long as our<br />
intentions are pure, what we do<br />
will surely bring about positive<br />
outcomes.<br />
If we browse the Internet<br />
today, we will come across<br />
many accounts of unassuming<br />
and regular people who have<br />
decided to make a difference in<br />
the world. Many have chosen to<br />
do this not for bragging rights or<br />
to show that they are better than<br />
everybody else but because they<br />
are motivated by the fact that as<br />
humans, we are all susceptible<br />
to the unfavourable conditions<br />
that plague the community and<br />
the environment. Focusing away<br />
from their needs, they question<br />
the inconsistency, injustice and<br />
unfairness that they see taking<br />
place around them and choose<br />
to do something about it.<br />
These are five stories of ordinary<br />
people doing extraordinary things.
