Dear Friends,
During the first adult years of my musical career it became clear to me that singing was one valid way I could 'give back' to others. That has sometimes taken the form of a song recording, a charity concert or donations from CD sales.
One thing it has relied on every single time is the support of my kind audiences. In the last few years I have chosen to champion one charity, which I wholly believe in - run by volunteers in Hong Kong with boundless energy for assisting underprivileged children across Asia.
“To the world you might be one person,
but to one person you might be the world”
However, I do not believe that the only way to contribute is financial. Many of us are not in a position to do so each and every day. We can, however, make a big difference in any person's day - with just a small gesture.
Every day I set myself a moment to reflect on which positive action I took that made someone's day a little or a lot better...
I call it The Positivity Report. I believe it works and gives back to each and all of us in so many different ways.
So, what P.R. will you do today to make the world a better place?
亲爱的朋友们，
在我音乐生涯的第一个成人时期，我清楚地认识到，唱歌是我“回馈”他人的一种有效方式。这会以歌曲录制、慈善音乐会或CD销售捐赠等不同形式出现。
每一次它都要依靠我善良的观众的支持。在过去几年，我选择支持一个慈善团体，我完全相信这个团体是由香港的义工发起的，他们有无穷的精力去帮助亚洲各地的贫困儿童。
““对于世界而言，你可能是一个人。
但对某个人来说，你就是整个世界”
不过，我不认为捐款的唯一途径是金钱。我们许多人不可能每天都这样做。然而，我们可以在任何一个人的一天里做一个很大的改变 —— 只要做一个小小的手势。
每天，我都会花点时间思考我采取了哪些积极的行动，让别人的一天好了一点或好了很多…
我称之为《正向报告》。我相信它是有效的，并且以许多不同的方式回馈给我们每一个人。
那么，你今天要做什么才能让世界变得更好呢？
