The human mind;
The Singaporean Prime Minister's wife appeared at an official reception during her visit to the United States carrying a cheap, unbranded blue handbag. This drew fierce criticism from the press and media, especially in comparison to the elegant attire of First Lady Michelle Obama, who was hosting her.
Faced with all the criticism, the woman decided to reveal the story behind the blue bag. She explained that she bought it for a bargain price of $11 at a small fair in Singapore. The fair is hosted by a vocational school for students with autism, where the students' work is displayed, supporting their talents and providing a source of income. She also said that while the bag may look simple at first glance, it is valuable precisely because it was made by a 19-year-old student, and that the effort should not be underestimated.
When this news was broadcast, sales of the bag skyrocketed, reaching nearly 200 units per day even after the fair had almost completely sold out of stock.
It's truly wonderful how a small action led to the success of a project supporting students with autism. A genuinely sincere and inspiring message, delivered from the heart, reaches every corner of the globe.
It's not a major international brand that inspires respect and recognition, but your message in life. Your message defines your values.
