I shared a little post on facebook about how an SMRT staff brightened up my boy's day and was pleasantly surprised that it got much acknowledgement from Singaporeans. (http://bit.ly/1Wu72KY) I feel that it's important that we teach our children about our unsung heroes in our community. How do you think we can teach our children about appreciating these group of special people? :)

Start by being a good example to your kids, since children naturally look up to their parents and elders. If you have a maid in the house, make it a point to thank them for their efforts, big or small. Acknowledge the work of people in the service industry as well by telling them they're doing a fantastic job. Being polite and respectful to people who you consider "below" you sets up a fantastic example too. “You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.”—Malcolm S. Forbes.
