A few days ago I wrote about Sarah Deutsch, in response to Chris Brogan’s challenge to promote two people this week.
It’s been slightly more than a week, and I’ve been holding off because I can’t really decide who to promote. I wanted the second person to be someone I know personally, someone closer to home.
My first idea was to promote Cindy or Lihsia, as they are the two most inspiring people I know personally. They are creative and are truly authentic people. People who don’t just settle for society’s expectations, but do what they believe in. People who are willing to question what society blindly accepts. And I find it really inspiring. Put simply, they are two of the most amazing people I know. But they don’t have much of an online presence so promoting them here probably won’t be that useful/effective (okay, so maybe that was kind of a promotion, but never mind.)
So, my second person will be Galvin Sng – founder of Project FriendMarked. I’ve blogged about his project before, but I’ll just mention again that I think it’s a great project. Galvin is an inspiring, encouraging local (Singaporean), Christian songwriter. His songs have really encouraged me and inspired me to continue writing. And his project is a really inspiring project, connecting people. He’s using his talents to help people connect with others, and share the value of friendship. And that’s a really awesome and worthwhile thing to do.
Yeah, if you’ve got the time, I suggest you drop by the Project FriendMarked site and order one. It’s a really good way to show your friends what they mean to you. And Galvin, if you’re reading this, keep up the awesome work.
