October 10th is celebrated as ๐–๐จ๐ซ๐ฅ๐ ๐Œ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐š๐ฅ ๐‡๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ญ๐ก ๐ƒ๐š๐ฒ to raise awareness about mental health around the world and to mobilize efforts to support those experiencing mental health issues. Whatโ€™s the connection of mental health with rubber ducks?

Well, have you heard of the technique called โ€œ๐ซ๐ฎ๐›๐›๐ž๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐œ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ ?โ€ Rubber ducking is short for โ€œrubber duck debuggingโ€ and is a method of debugging programming codes. Basically, programmers can explain the code they are writing to the rubber duck, line-by-line, and as they do so, they can break down the purpose of the code and find the underlying problem.
Whether itโ€™s to a psychologist, your best friend, or the mirror, talking through your worries can release a whole lot of stress and give you plenty of perspective. Itโ€™s always good to feel connected and share your feelings or experiences with a friend who has the capacity to chat about it, and itโ€™s a great way to improve your mental health.

When in dire need with no one around, try the ๐‘๐ฎ๐›๐›๐ž๐ซ ๐ƒ๐ฎ๐œ๐ค ๐ฆ๐ž๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐โ€”itโ€™s not only for developers but life challenges too! Explaining something in detail to an inanimate object can help us to distance ourselves from the problem and allow us an opportunity for self-realization. Effectively, by explaining the problem to yourself (or your rubber duck), ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐š๐ซ๐ž ๐š๐›๐ฅ๐ž ๐ญ๐จ ๐ซ๐ž๐ฆ๐จ๐ฏ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐š๐ง๐ฑ๐ข๐ž๐ญ๐ฒ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ž๐ฆ๐จ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐š๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ž๐ฌ, ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ž๐ฉ ๐›๐š๐œ๐ค, ๐š๐ง๐ ๐Ÿ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ž๐œ๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž.

Rubber ducks are also a great way for children to feel relaxed and calm down. Rubber ducks are also used to show someone that you care, as it symbolizes a simple wish like โ€œHave a great day!โ€
As for what Asia Society Hong Kong is doing with the rubber ducks, we will soon unfold the mystery. ๐…๐จ๐ซ ๐ง๐จ๐ฐ, ๐ฅ๐ž๐ญโ€™๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฌ๐ก ๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฒ๐จ๐ง๐ž ๐š ๐ ๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ญ ๐๐š๐ฒ ๐š๐ก๐ž๐š๐, ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐ž๐ญโ€™๐ฌ ๐ญ๐š๐ค๐ž ๐œ๐š๐ซ๐ž ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐š๐ฅ ๐ฐ๐ž๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ง๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐ข๐Ÿ๐ญ ๐จ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ!
