GRACIOUS


WE should be gracious . IT simply means to be polite and pleasant in every act we do. Gracious is not only showing care to people of the same status as you are but showing politeness and care for those who are in a lower social positon. THAT is the meaning of gracious. This is a value that we should uphold.
It means to treat everyone politely regardless of their races or religion

Our Opinion:



What is Gracious and Healthy Lifestyle?


IT IS EATING BALANCED MEALS, EXERCISING REGULARLY AND



DEVELOPING HEALTHY COPING SKILLS


IT MEANS SPEAKING ELOQUENTLY AND POLITELY


IT MEANS TREATING MY PEERS, TEACHERS AND SCHOOL LEADERS

WITH RESPECT AND CONSIDERATION


IT MEANS ADOPTING A POSITIVE ATTITUDE TOWARDS LIFE

TRUTH

(The Light of Truth)


The Emperor's Seed

An emperor in the Far East was growing old and knew it was time to choose His seccessor.
Insted of choosing one of his children, he decided to do something diffrent.


He said,"It is time for me to step down and choose the next emperor.I have decided to choose one of you. I am going to give each one of you a seed today, one very special seed. I want you to plant the seed and come back here after one year from today with what you have grown from this seed. I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be the next emperor!"

One boy named Ling was ther that day, and he, like others, received a seed. He went home and exitedly told his mother the story. She helped him get a pot and planting seed, and he planted the seed and watered it carefully. Everyday he would water it and watch to see if it had grown.

After about three weeks, some of the other youth began to talk about their seeds and the plants they were beginning to grow. Ling kept checking his seed, but nothing ever grew.Weeks grew into months. Still nothing.

He just knew he had killed his seed. Everyone had plants, but he had nothing.Ling didn't say anything to his friends however. He just kept waiting for his seed to grow.

A year finally went by and all the youths ofo the kingdom brought their plants to the emperor for inspection. Ling told his mother that he wasn't going to take an empty pot, but his mother said he must be honest about what happened.

Ling felt sick to his stomach, but knew his mother was right. He took his empty pot to the palace.

When Ling arrived, he was amazed at the variety of plants grown by the other youths. They were beautiful-in all shapes and sizes. Ling put his empty pot on th floor and many of the other kinds laughed at him. A few felt sorry for him and said,"Hey nice try."

When the emperor arrived, he survived th room and greeted the young people.Ling just tried to hide in the back."My what great plants you have grown," said the emperor" Today, on of you will be appointed the next emperor!"

All of a sudden the emperor Ling at the back of the room with hi empty pot. He ordered his guards to bring him to the friend. Ling was terrified."The emperor knows that I am a failure! Maybe he will have me killed!"

When Ling got to the front, the emperor asked his name."My name is Ling," he replied.The emperor looked at him and announced him the new emperor.Everyone was shoked including Ling.

Then the emperor said,"One year ago today, I gave everyone here a seed.I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it and bring it back to me today. But I gave you all boiled seeds which would not grow.All of you ,exept Ling, have brought me plants and flowers.When the rest of you found the seed would not grow, you substituted for the one I gave you.Ling was the only one with courage and honesty to bring to bring me a pot with a seed in it.Therefore he is the one who will be the new emperor."

If you plant honesty, you shall reap trust
If you plant goodness, you shall reap goodness
If you plant humilty, you shall reap goodness
If you plant perseverance, you shall reap victory
If you plant considretion, you shall reap harmony
If you plant harwork, you shall reap success
If you plant forgiveness, you shall reap conciliation
If you plant openness, you shall reap intimacy
If you plant patience, you shall reap improvements
If you plant faith, you shall reap miracles

But....
If you plant dishonesty,you shall reap distrust
If you plant selfishness, you shall reap lonliness
If you plant pride, you shall reap distruction
If you plant envy, you shall reap trouble
If you plant laziness, you shall reap stagnation
If you plant bitterness, you shall reap isolation
If you plant greed, you shall reap loss
If you plant gossip, you shall reap enemies
If you plant worries, you shall reap wrinkles
If you plant sin, you shall reap guilt

Our opinion of the story :So be careful what you plant now. It shall determine what you you will reap tomorrrow. The seeds you now scatter will make life worse or better-your life or the ones who will come after. Yes, someday, you will enjoy the fruits, or you will pay for the choices you plant today.
Our Opinion:
What Is Truth?
TRUTH IS SPEAKING IT THOUGH IT MAY HURT
TRUTH IS (NOT TO CHEAT OR COPY)
TRUTH IS (NOT TO TELL TALES)
TRUTH IS HAVING THE HUMILTY TO ADMIT MISTAKES WHEN YOU ARE WRONG

INTEGRITY



Goat and the Goathered

A Goathered had sought to bring back

a stray goat to his flock. He whistled
and sounded his horn in vain; the
sraggler paid no attention to the
summons. At last the Goathered
threw a stone, breaking its horn, begged the goat not
to tell his master. The Goat replied,"Why, you silly fellow,
the horn will speak though I be silent."

Our opinion Of Story: (Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid)
Our Opinion:What is Integrity?
INTEGRITY IS BEIG RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL YOUR ACTIONS
INTERITY IS DOING WHAT IS RIGHT EVN WHEN N ONE IS LOOKING
INTEGRITY IS NOT TO STEAL OR TAKE THINGS WHICH ARE NOT YOURS
INTAGRITY IS ATTENDING SCHOOL REGULARLY AND PUNCTUALLY

JUSTICE


JUSTICE

What's been done in the name of man?
What's been done in the name of liberation?
What'a been done in the name of civilization?
And in the name of race?
And in the name of peace?

Everybody
Loves to see
Justice done
On somebody else

Can you tell me how much bleeding
It takes to fill a word with meaning?
And how much, how much death
It takes to give a slogan breath?
And how much, how much, how much flame
Gives light to a name?
For the hollow darkness
In which nations dress?

Everybody
Loves to see
Justice done
On somebody else

Everybody's seen the things they've seen
We all have to live with we've been
When they say charity begins at home
They're not just talking about toilet and telephone
Got to search the silence of the soul's wild places
For a voice that can cross the spaces
These definations we that we love create--


Eveybody
Loves to see
Justice done
On somebody else


( poem)








Our opinion:

justice is having the moral courage to speak up when something is wrong or not fair
justice is being impartial at all times even when you entangled by problems
justice is treating everyone fairly regardless of status,race,religion
justice is ...................(doing something that benefits not only you and yourselves but others too)

FREEDOM

By the Pool Side

I talked with the waters of the pool
Asked them by what command by what rule
Are thus encaged yet so calm and cool?

The waters remained calm and clear
And through their ripples far and near
Reflected the sun's golden sphere

One bubbled smiled, said look you here
Are you so blind?Can you not hear?
Laughingly it burst, the vapour so dear
Rushed to the sky like a reindeer
Clouds were forming, thundering with cheer
Rain was pouring, distant and near
Wth a gentle beat upon my ear
Some drops fell in the pool, brave, no fear

The message was there, obvious, clear
Cage is perception, freedom is here

(Without diffeences, thre are no choices
Without choices,thera is no freedom)



(a beautiful poem that came out of our heart)]




OUr opinion:


what is it?


It means having the right to ask others to maintain school values and image. It means understanding that while having the freedom of speech, i will be tactful.

LOVE





phics


Forgive me

To the ends of the time I will love you my friend
Knowing that you're gone leaves me a bend

An angel to me you were so kind
Raising my spirits with ways I can not find

Over and over the days with you replayed
Loving you so much wished you would have stayed

I crossed a line which I know not fit
Now each day I die a little bit

An empty void replaces what I feel
Growing sadder and sadder,will I ever heal

From the feeling of love I felt for a friend

You Taught Me How To Love You

You taught me hoe to love you by
The way that you loved me;
And by your unseen sustenance
To see what you could see.

You game to me through who you were
The gift of what I am
Your pride in me is now my pride;
Your faith, my caravan.

Your life does not conclude with death,
Nor will it end with mine,
For all te lives I touch you, you touch,
And so on through all the time
(a poem of father and child)

THIS IS JUST A SMALL POEM ABOUT LOVE BETWEEN A FATHER AND A CHILD.

LOVE DOES NOT END THERE. LOVE DOES NOT MEAN A BOY-GIRL RELATIONSHIP ALSO. IT IS FEELING . A TRUE FEELING WITHOUT ANY EXPECTATIONS.

GOD-FEARING



Myspace Graphics



Listen mother brother sister
Family and friend
Ifear with each day pass
Our time grows closer to the end

Listen stranger passer by
And those I never knew
Theres not one day that you are living
Has been promised to you

I am a God fearing man
Im a God fearing man
I reach out for my gods hand
Im a God fearing man

Listen mother sister brother
Relatives and kin
You want to know just where you are going
You got to know where you have been

Tell m what gives one the right
To say their God is better than anybody else
Dont we all have a right
To find God for our self

I am a God fearing man
Im a God fearing man
I reach up for my god's hand
Im a God fearing man

When I rise with the morning sun
I give thanks to my god
For the gift of another one

And when my day is over
And complete
I reach to my god
To put me back on my feet

I am a God fearing man
Im a God fearing man
I reach up for my god's hand
Im a God fearing man

( a personal poem)

OUR OPINION:

God fearing- TO love and respect God and not use His name in vain

To respect PARENTS,FRIENDS,SOCIETY,TEACHERS, SCHOOL

LEADERS

TO believe that God will help those who help themselves

To uphold SCHOLL VALUES AND RULES
