Good Vibes Of The Week: A Very Special 100th Birthday

Raise your hand if at least once this past week you've thought "It'd be nice to have some good news." You're not alone.

It can be easy to feel overwhelmed and exhausted by the news cycle, and feel the need for a little optimism and positivity. But "good news" can be tricky to come by—who is to define what "good" means? That's a task for philosophers, not journalists.

At Forbes, we have a proud tradition of championing the best of what individuals can achieve. In that spirit, we hereby present the Upside, a space for stories that showcase the drive to improve ourselves, our communities and the world around us.

The Upside offers a weekly opportunity to feel inspired and recharged by highlighting stories of ingenuity, ambition and entrepreneurship, kindness and compassion—and leave you with a smile.

To get your weekly dose of upside news straight to your inbox every Saturday morning, click here.
