One Deed, One Lifetime
"One Deed, One Lifetime" (ODOL) is a community project by Channel NewsAsia which aims to inspire Singaporeans to do that one good deed in this lifetime. In a world that increasingly sends out the me-first message, ODOL hopes to restore faith in the basic good of humankind and affirm the good in all of us. The goal of ODOL is to be the platform for the perpetuation of goodness, beginning with the individual.
What is a good deed you may ask? It's anything that has a positive impact on another individual, in particular something which he or she cannot do for himself or herself, better yet something which he or she had not even expected. But it has to be done for an individual rather than an organisation.
It can be something as simple as a smile, or something as extravagant as a huge amount of money donated. It can be something as concrete as giving a liver or something as nebulous as providing a listening ear.
The only limit is in your heart and mind.

if everyone would do a good deed to another, this world would be a nicer place to live in....
but let's hope, we don't just do ONE deed in our ENTIRE lifetime....

giving a listening year, throwing in an advise here are ways of good deed too

of course, this movement is not to encourage ONE deed in your lifetime
going through the 'deed noticeboard', you'll notice some of the deeds are long time commitment.. for example, befriending the elderly, bringing them to day care centres..
it's a good avenue people wanting to do some volunteer work

Is that the pledge card I'm seeing at 7-eleven stores?

Allowing passengers to alight first before boarding is a good deed. -
pledge card? how does it work?Originally posted by MooKu:Is that the pledge card I'm seeing at 7-eleven stores? -
I'm not sure too.Originally posted by wuming78:pledge card? how does it work?
CNA's website says when you do a good deed for someone, you're supposed to pass the card to that someone and then that person does a good deed for another person and passes on the card.... -
hm... wats the purpose? they supposed to sign on the card?!Originally posted by MooKu:I'm not sure too.

Tomorrow I see if I can get one from the 7-Eleven near my workplace.

oh and tell us about it.Originally posted by MooKu:Tomorrow I see if I can get one from the 7-Eleven near my workplace. -
I got the card!
It's actually just a card that tells you to pass the card on to a person for whom you've have done a good deed
I wonder what will happen in the end.
Almost instantaneously after I got the card I began reflecting on what I can do/have done for the people around me... because I was wondering how I could pass the card on. And then I realized that all the time I have people around me doing so much for me, yet I cannot recall if I've truly repaid their kindness....

wat abt the card?

There's nothing to fill up on the card.Originally posted by NeonTetra:wat abt the card?
It simply bears the pink flower logo, and behind the card it tells you what to do with the card! and that's to do a good deed for someone, and pass the card on to that particular someone so that he or she can pass it on and so on! -
singaporeans so bo liao meh?Originally posted by MooKu:There's nothing to fill up on the card.

It's "bo liao"? Why?Originally posted by NeonTetra:singaporeans so bo liao meh? -
ppl nowadays so paranoid..u pass her one card he/she thot u up to no good...Originally posted by MooKu:It's "bo liao"? Why? -
Hmmm I beg to differ... It's just a card given, clearly, with good intentions... I don't know why anyone would want to think in such a way.Originally posted by NeonTetra:ppl nowadays so paranoid..u pass her one card he/she thot u up to no good...
Maybe it's a little unnecessary lar, to have a card just to spur people on to go around doing good. But come to think of it, it's pretty comforting when I think of how many times my card's going to be passed on from me. And I'm going to do something that's really going to HELP someone. -
ok.. let's hope u wont stop helping ppl after passing ur card away.Originally posted by MooKu:Hmmm I beg to differ... It's just a card given, clearly, with good intentions... I don't know why anyone would want to think in such a way.

-
This has been around for a long time already...It was titled Pay It Forward ..found it in Reader's Digest some years back.CNA did not create this idea, but they have publicised it more widely nonetheless
