Is Giving Praise a Form of Charity?

Is Giving Praise a Form of Charity?

Yes — but not in the way we often think of charity.

Praise, when genuine and heart-led, is a form of emotional generosity.

Just like charity feeds the body, praise nourishes the soul.


It says:

“I see something good in you. I honour it.”


And for someone who’s unseen, unappreciated, or simply exhausted —

that recognition can be more powerful than money.


But What If We Don’t Know the Person or Situation?

A SuperME doesn’t need full knowledge to express gratitude or kindness.

Because praise isn’t about flattery — it’s about presence.


You can say:

“I admire your calm energy.”

“I noticed how you showed up today — thank you.”

“It feels good being around you.”


You’re not claiming to know their whole story.

You’re simply honouring the beauty of the moment.


That’s what a SuperME does:

Sees the good.

Speaks the good.

Spreads the good.

Not to manipulate — but to magnify what’s already there.


Does SuperME Give Praise Lightly?

No.

SuperME doesn’t fake praise to please.

But neither do they withhold light out of fear or pride.


They trust that even a small spark of encouragement — when given sincerely —

can ignite something powerful in someone’s life.


Final Thought:

Praise isn’t always about what you know.

It’s about what you notice.

And when you notice with love and speak with gratitude —

you’re doing more than praising.

You’re healing.


That’s the SuperME way.

And yes — it’s the most generous form of charity there is.

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Have You Found Your Sun Yi and Teresa Teng?

I n the long, unfolding history of the Chinese-language music scene, "The Moon Represents My Heart" 月亮代表我的心 stands as an unsurpassable milestone. Yet, the journey of this globally renowned masterpiece, a song that would eventually captivate the world, was fraught with setbacks: it was once dismissed as "trash" by its own creator and tossed into a wastebasket, later suppressed by official policy as a "banned song ," and initially failed to gain any traction when performed by two different singers. The dramatic turnaround in this song’s fate is not merely a musical legend; it offers a profound life lesson: the greatest stroke of luck in life is not about how perfect you are, but about encountering the "right people", those who truly understand you, support you, and help you realize your potential, at exactly the right moment.
