Teacher's Day 2007

The Teacher's Day celebration this year is the most special of all

As time was allocated for the teachers to celebrate with their students

And they, my angels and warriors, warmed my heart

PM5, with their creative gifts (from the heart)

PM8 (most surprisingly...I almost shed my tears...felt warm in the heart)

Pm11 (for the hugs from all angels, the cake from Kiat Jean, the flowers from Jia Hong, and

the most special part..."Your Raise Me Up" solo by Kiat Xiong, the discovery of the sweet voice (I was touched), and the Hero (by Kim, Claryn and Sammy)

PM12 -my mentees, haha, for having tutorial with me for 1 1/2 hrs in state of celebration/ Dota/ Pool...

My dear angels and warriors, you warmed my heart

Your success and happiness will be my happiness too!!

Hero

I am very touched by the meaning of this lyrics :

There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid Of what you are
There's an answer If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know Will melt away

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

Lord knows Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone Tear them away
Hold on There will be tomorrow
In time You'll find the way

What's Taught in Schools

I believe that education should assist the students in discovering their individual potential and developing it further
and to develop qualities
that they will need to face the world
in order to live meaningfully and happily
to enjoy the abundance that life offers

These are three important examples:
1. Talent is one-third of the success equation. Talent is important in any profession, but it is no guarantee of success. Hard work and luck are equally important. Hard work means self-discipline and sacrifice. Luck means, among other things, access to power, whether it is social contacts or money or timing. In fact, if you are not very talented, you can still succeed by emphasizing the other two. If you think I am wrong, just look around.

9. It all comes down to output.No matter how cool your computer rendering is, no matter how brilliant your essay is, no matter how fabulous your whatever is, if you can’t output it, distribute it, and make it known, it basically doesn’t exist. Orient yourself to output. Schedule output. Output, output, output. Show Me The Output.

10. The rest of the world counts.
