Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
(Proverbs 22:6)

Eyes, Lips and Nose

1. Hi, I'm eye. Am I beautiful? 

 
2. Hi! I'm lip. Can you see if I'm beautiful?
 

 
3. Hi, I'm sure you know me. Yes! I'm nose! Do you think I'm the most beautiful?


If I've got to answer those three questions, my answers are all 'No!'. I can't see the beauty of each of them. The eye is too dark and not shiny. The lips are too pale. The nose is too flat. When I see their physical appearances, they're not interesting. Yet, can you see the function of each of them? When they work, they will be meaningful. When they work together, they will form a harmony. When they are put on a face appropriately, they will show the beauty of the face - not the beauty of each of them.
God created them with their own function.
God put them on a face to show the beauty of the owner of the face.
God created us....
Have we played our own role? And have we avoided being selfish to show the beauty of our Owner?

THE

Today we had an English class. We discussed about preposition. My students understood the preposition we were talking about. Yet, as I frequently do, I talked about something else. Huahahaha...I didn't focus on the main topic....
We had these sentences, "He's at school." and "He's at the school." 
"She's at hospital." and "She's at the hospital."
"He's in jail." and 'He's in the jail."

The word 'the' hasn't got a significant meaning when it stands alone. But, we know, if the word is inserted into a phrase, the word can change the meaning of the phrase, and the meaning becomes absolutely different. I found that it is amazing!

The word is like us. We've got no meaning when we stand alone without anyone else. But when we play our own role in our community, we've got the meaning! We are there for others. So, be useful for others! Shine on the world around you! You're the meaningful 'THE'!

What a Gentleman

It was very hot that afternoon, but Jasmine had to have a training to prepare for a first aid competition. She had to prepare the equipment herself. She tried to move some bamboos from the outside of the school building into the basketball court - where she had to rehearse. The bamboos were heavy, I think. Or at least they were difficult to carry.
On her way to the basketball court, Jon came to her. Jon was her boyfriend. He was handsome and many girls wanted to be his girlfriend. "This will be the most romantic part," I think. Jon came closer to her, then he asked her, "What time will you go home?" Jasmine answered but I couldn't hear the answer. Then in a second Jon went away and left Jasmine with the bamboos

The Best Mark Ever



There would be a test in my music class. The test would be done by groups of three. The test needed all of the members of the group to play well. If one of them played some parts of the music score incorrectly, the whole group would get bad mark.
There were some students who were good at music. Three of them joined. They had no problem in playing the music score. They did not need to learn and practise together as each of them could read and play the score well. On another corner, Firman - another student who was good at music - and two of his friends practised together. His friends could not read and play the music score fluently. They usually got 70, the minimum passing mark. He tried hard to teach his friends patiently. He tried his best and so did his friends.
The day of the test had come. The three talented students played the song. They did it perfectly. They got 100. Then Firman and his group performed after practising as well as they could. And they did it…not very well…. They got 80!
I asked Firman,”Are you satisfied?” “Yes!” he replied. He chose the more difficult choice. He chose not to gain 100 easily. He realized that he could not get 100. On the other side, his friends were really satisfied since they had never got 80 before.
Share your knowledge and be useful for others!
