Prayers

To you, what is the meaning of life? Perhaps it is to travel and eat every delicious food in the world or gain a lot of money for entertainment. Yet, no one can tell the actual definition of the meaning of life, so we need to spend our lifetime thinking about it. Moreover, there are […]

The theme for this month is about Treasuring Life and my thoughts immediately went to the major earthquake in Turkey and Syria. As you know, it was a tragic series of massive earthquakes that struck both countries and it was so horrific that I found myself avoiding news about it. But I now feel it

本月的主題是接納包容，那你們知道甚麼是包容別人嗎？那為甚麼我們要包容別人呢? 接下來，讓我們分享關於一位男人為妻子戒掉香煙的故事吧! 相信你們聽完這故事後，都能解答這兩條問題。 從前有幾個男人看球，總是離不開香煙。直到球賽結束，才發現不知不覺中，他們已經抽了三盒煙。其中一個男人的妻子也在旁邊陪伴著。可是，她竟然什麼也沒說。 只是在他們不注意的時候，打開窗子，讓新鮮的空氣進來。他們覺得很奇怪。 「你就不管管他這麼抽煙嗎？」 坐在她旁邊的男人問道。 那女生微微一笑說：「我也明白抽煙有害身體健康，可是，如果抽煙能讓他快樂，我為什麼要阻止？我寧願讓我的丈夫能歡樂地活到60歲，也不願意他勉勉強強地活到80歲。畢竟，一個人的歡樂不是任何時候或者金錢能夠換來的。」 他們再看到這男人的時候，他已經戒煙了。 其中一個人問為什麼，他憨笑著說：「她能為我的歡樂著想，我也不能讓自己提前20年離開她呀。」 包容不是無底線的縱容，不是沒原則的忍讓，而是站在別人的角度去考慮，包容別人，也是給他們一次機會，讓錯誤得到改正，讓他們自我反省。所謂「退一步，海闊天空」其實只要包容別人，會避免很多的衝突。包容別人就是給自己機會成長。希望同學們亦能好好成長，學習包容寬恕的美德。 Putonghua Club28 February 2023

In bible, Matthew, Chapter 5 Verse 43 – 44 stated that, “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbour and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” This is one of the important teachings by Jesus Christ, to love your enemies and pray

In bible, Roman, Chapter 12 verse 9, it quotes “Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; Cling to what is good.” Acceptance is an important ingredient of love. Loving others means accepting them just as they are, just like God accepted us in our original state. However, accepting others doesn’t mean indulging them. Genuine

I’m sure we all have come across countless group projects, and there will always be two distinct ideas being against each other as long as there’s more than one person. Besides, there will always be someone that you don’t wish to be in the same group in your many experiences. What would you do if

How many of you like mirror? I mean like looking at yourselves in a mirror. Do you like your appearance? Do you think you are talented? How do you think about your classmates? Your friends? In a western TV program, some young adults dressed as high school students shadowing their high school days in order

今日我想同大家分享一本書，名為〈隱形男孩〉,所謂既隱形，並唔係指緊擁有隱形既超能力，而係指緊存在感比較薄弱,或者因為內向而較少與人互動既人,而故事既主角布萊恩,正正就係一位隱形男孩。係同學眼中,布萊恩就係內向、安靜、不多話等等既代名詞，好少有同學會同佢交流係班上面, 似乎從來無人注意到布萊恩，專題分組個陣，無人諗到要邀他加入自己的小組;聖誕聯歡會個陣，無人會諗到要寫聖誕卡;就連班會活動點人數個陣,都無人會記得佢既存在。布萊恩一直就處於一種隱形既狀態，佢亦漸漸對失去左自信。 直到一位新同學馬丁來到布萊恩的班上，雖然馬丁同其他同學一樣,一開始見到布萊恩都覺得對方係內向、安靜，但馬丁無因為咁而放棄同布萊恩既交流接觸，反而經常主動邀請布萊恩一齊食飯, 或者同組完成專題甚至一齊參加比賽。自此,馬丁既出現令布萊恩搵番自己的亮點，重拾自信明白自己原來一樣可以同人交流合作，自此布萊恩既生活終於出現左唔同既顏色，重新展現屬於佢既光采。 唔知你身邊又有無好似布萊恩既存在呢?，其實好多時他人既慢熱或者內向會妨礙我地去認識、了解一個人既本質。只要我地願意釋出善意，突破自己固有既限制, 踏出主動既一步，往往就會令對方感受到被接納與肯定，並進一步相信且發現，自己也有閃閃發光既地方。論語有云:君子尊賢而容眾，希望同學日後可以包容、接納他人既不同之處，發掘到對方意想不到既亮點。 Mr Chen LC17 February 2023

Acceptance and inclusiveness are very important as we can build good interpersonal relationships based on them. Today, let us share with you all a story about acceptance and inclusiveness. Once upon a time, there were different types of rabbits. Some rabbits had fat ears, some of them had long ears, some of them had square-shaped

我今日想同大家分享一本書，名為〈癇介生命─活出愛故事集〉，這本書記述了20位患有腦癇症患者的故事，記述了他們在生活中因這個症狀而遇到不同的困難，最終他們如何重新認識自己並肯定自己的價值。 其中一個患者林詠詩，第一次病發時是47歲，當時醫生診斷她是因為腦部中風而受損，繼而引發腦癇症。此症對她的生活帶來重大打擊，因為每當病發時，會出現呼吸困難，手腳會不由自主抽動，因此在別人眼中，會視她為怪物、殘疾人士，以往關係較好的同事亦開始疏遠她，甚至在街上，途人會誤以為她是精神病人，投以怪異目光。這些目光，都對她帶來困擾。但最終，她得到家人和朋友的支持而釋懷。 其實，社會上有很多人不被大家了解，除了腦癇症，還有社交恐懼症、腦退化症等，如果大眾多了解，明白他們的處境，彼此接納，互相尊重，我們的社會才會變得更美好。「彼此接納，善待別人」是人生中很重要的課題。聖經提到「你們願意人怎樣待你們，也要怎樣待人」。(路加福音第六章31節)所以我們不單面對病患者時，要尊重同體諒，就算在學校，面對同學間學業成績的差異，亦應彼此勉勵，彼此扶持接納，而不是互相譏諷、排斥。 Ms Chan KY10 February 2023
