The document discusses making and caring through the lens of becoming a maker. It tells the story of Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody to illustrate the importance of individuals taking responsibility and action. It encourages the reader to see issues, care about issues, and do something about issues. It suggests that Singapore could become a maker city if people work together to make changes. The overall message is that small steps over time can lead to impact, and that through making things for others one can feel they have made a difference and cared for others.

4. This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have.
Charles Osgood “The Responsibility Poem.”
