We are the world!

Many parents attending the F1/2 Parents Forum on 21 Oct 2006 found the talk by Mr. Matthew Chu, the School Education Psychologist inspiring and beneficial to the boys.

It reminds our boys to reach out to learn more about the 50 things that change the world, and how lucky we are when compared with other people in Africa and China.
Here is one of the photos:

Despite all the sufferings and problems, Mr. Chu talked about the HOPE that some people like Mother Teresa does to change this world.

At the end, Mr. Chu shared one of his favorite songs: WE ARE THE WORLD, a song written and composed by michael jackson and lionel richie during the USA for africa campaign in 1985.
He asked us to treasure the "Choice" of making...
here is the lyric:

There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And its time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

We cant go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all part of gods great big family
And the truth, you know, love is all we need

Chorus:
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start giving

There’s a choice we’re making
Were saving our own lives

Its true well make a better day
Just you and me

Send them your heart
So they’ll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand

Chorus:
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start giving

There’s a choice were making
Were saving our own lives
Its true well make a better day
Just you and me

When you’re down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there’s no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one

Chorus:
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start giving

There’s a choice were making
Were saving our own lives
Its true well make a better day
Just you and me

We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start giving

There’s a choice were making
Were saving our own lives
Its true well make a better day
Just you and me

We are the world......

說話的藝術 The Art of Speech - 最重要的六個字

最近與家人閑談說到說話的藝術，「一言興邦，一言喪邦。」影響人與人之間關係的事物中，沒有什麼比言語更重大的了。故此在此與大家分享一下我的見聞：

最重要的一個字： 請
最重要的二個字： 謝謝
最重要的三個字： 對不起
「請、謝謝、對不起」就是最重要的六個字。

如果你一肚子都是學問，而你卻不會說「請、謝謝、對不起」這三句話，那你的一生就失敗了。

換句話說：「請、謝謝、對不起。」只要你會運用這三句話，你的一生，必定是成功的。

生活上說不定會遇到困難你應該會用到「請」，有人幫你的話你應該會用到「謝謝」，你做錯是應該會說「對不起」，所以你看生活上是多需要說到「請、謝謝、對不起」。

還有四個字的『祝你成功』『祝你喜樂』『祝你平安』；
五個字的：『你的意見呢？』和
最重要的六個字：『你真是了不起。』

以上六句話包含感恩、讚美、祝福等話，真是一生受用、共勉之。

最後求 神幫助我們讓我們有 神的智慧，懂得怎樣運用我們的言語來說造就人的好話。
