Daniel Goleman shares that humans are wired to help but what is it that prevents some of us from being good samaritans?

In his opinion, what prevents some of us from helping others is that we choose to focus too much time and energy on ourselves, not noticing or helping others. Sometimes, all you have to do is to focus on observing other people, empathizing with their situations and helping them in whatever small ways you can. You will be amazed how a simple action from you has the power to inspire those around you to join hands and to make the world a better place.

2009 has been a year to remember. Thanks to all of you, we really did some amazing things together.

Back in August, the people of Taiwan faced one of the worst typhoon ever. Homes were destroyed and young children were left without clean water to drink. Because of you, we could make a difference and help the victims of typhoon Morakot. NT$100,000 was donated to the disaster relief efforts because 10,000 GIVE.sg fans dared to stand up for a cause they believe in.

When the Philippines were struck by Tropical floods in early October, you guys were there once more donating warm clothes and hearty food to the orphanages together with Blessings in a Bag. I'm proud to be in the company of such great friends.

In a few weeks, www.GIVE.sg will have a new year surprise for everyone. Thanks to the great people at DBS, you guys and gals can look forward to a new and exciting way to support your cause and make a difference. Check out the website on 10th January of 2010 to see how you can fundraise for good - stay tuned -
