Monday, March 31, 2008 Y 2:06 PM Hi all I sent in the design for quotation. Hopefully it will come back fast. Meanwhile, remember to indicate your size so that we can tie up all the loose ends. Here's what we have done in class just now.

GIVING In a world where selfishness has permeated almost every level of society, too much emphasis is placed on trampling on others to win, and on taking whatever you can get your hands on. But do we grow and develop simply by taking all the time? And how much of what we take can we really hold on to? Someone once wrote: Whatever you give away today, or think or say or do will multiply about tenfold and then return to you. It may not come immediately, nor from the obvious source but the law applies unfailingly, through some invisible force. Whatever you feel about another, be it love or hate or passion will surely bounce right back to you in some clear (or secret) fashion If you speak about some person, a word of praise or two, soon, tens of other people will speak kind words of you. Our thoughts are broadcasts of the soul, not secrets of the brain. Kind ones bring us happiness; petty ones, untold pain. Giving works as surely as reflections in a mirror. If it is hate you send, hate you'll get back, but loving brings love nearer. Remember, as you start this day and duty crowds your mind, that kindness comes so quickly back to those who first are kind. Let that thought and this one direct us through each day. The only things we ever keep are the things we give away. Many things in this life are temporal and fleeting. Money, power, position, fame… these are the things which ultimately contribute to the emptiness in our hearts. However, the good things we do for others, and the love and concern we give away are the only things which will remain with us for the rest of our lives. Show love, patience and concern towards others and in return, these will be what you will get back. Gone should be the days where negative comments are made in class about your classmates, teachers etc. All of us shall be good and kind. ;p See you in school tomorrow. Mrs Chia |
