My Thankful Cat

My Thankful Cat

I would like to begin my sharing with a story of my cat, Larry. Larry is a male British Shorthair cat. He is never a loving lap cat by any means, and he looks like a grumpy old man all the time. Recently, I realized that he started to bring home some “gifts” that he […]

砥礪奮進廿五載 攜手再上新征程

砥礪奮進廿五載 攜手再上新征程

明天是2022年7月1日,香港特別行政區成立25周年。因為各種防疫措施,今年的慶祝活動未必和往年一樣熱鬧,至少沒有了煙花匯演。 然而25年卻是一個重要年份, 因為25年正是50年的一半。這裡的50年所指的是時任中國共產黨中央顧問委員會主任鄧小平於1984年提出的方針,全稱為「一國兩制、高度自治、港人治港、現有的資本主義生活方式五十年不變」,該方針被載於《中英聯合聲明》 第三條及附件一,《香港特別行政區基本法》第五條亦有相應規定,當中提到「香港特別行政區不實行社會主義制度和政策,保持原有的資本主義制度和生活方式,五十年不變」 。 在過去25年,在以上的方針下,香港實行一國兩制,維持資本主義, 即由自由市場主導,資金自由流通、貿易零關稅、健全的私有產權法制等等,讓香港經濟仍然可以穩步發展。香港國民生總值GDP,由1997年的1770 億 USD,到2021年的 3200 億 USD ,增長有80%;又例如港交所,從一個區域性證券市場,變成了一個中國資產對外的窗口,吸引了大量國際資金來港投資內地資產,從1997年底,只有101家內地企業在港上市,佔港股市值20%,截至2021年10月底,在香港上市的内地企業共1210家,佔港股市值超過60%。 我們作為香港人,在往後的25年,應如何自處?香港作為彈丸之地,一個外向型小規模經濟體系,在發展上必須依靠外在力量,隨了經常提及的背靠祖國外,新一代必須認識香港的優勢,其在於既能透過與內地接軌,開拓發展空間和動力;同時藉著一國兩制,維持香港成為中國資產對外的窗口。早幾年最常聽到的是一帶一路發展商機處處,只要香港把握機遇必定大有作為。而近年在《十四五規劃綱要》中,粵港澳大灣區已經成為國家發展戰略,只要進一步深化粵港澳合作,充分發揮三地綜合優勢,促成區內的深度融合,推動區域經濟協同發展,建設宜居、宜業、宜遊的國際一流灣區。這些都是香港的發展方向,大家不能不知。 崇德人,你為你的未來做好準備? 最簡單可以從提升語言能力著手。能說流利普通話,是進入來地市場必須的,我校已經有不少同學具備這種能力,因此我呼籲這些同學應該把握在校學習英語的機會,特別在 EFAD,多講英文,這是與外國經商必須的。其他以廣東話為母語的同學,千萬不要對普通話戴上有色眼鏡,當你們揶揄普通話For All Day的同時,要了解將來在工作上甚至在生活上,普通話是無可避免要使用的語言,講得好一定有益處,而英文就當然不能缺少吧! 今年七一的主題是「砥礪奮進廿五載 攜手再上新征程」,在此祝願崇德人在未來路上都可以攜手努力,砥礪奮進。 Mr. Ho L. L. 30 June 2022

這是個負責任的年代

這是個負責任的年代

美國總統奧巴馬曾說:「這是個負責任的年代,我們不是逃避責任,而是要擁抱責任。」那麼甚麼是責任呢?今天我們將分享一個負責任的故事。 1920年,年僅11歲的列根在踢足球時踢碎了鄰居的玻璃,鄰居索賠12.5美元。但是當時12.5美元可以買125只下蛋的母雞,闖了禍的列根向父親承認錯誤後,父親讓他對自己說:對過失負責。可是他沒錢,父親說:錢我可以先借給你,但一年後要還我。 從那次事件以後,列根憑藉自己的力量掙錢,開始了艱苦的打工生活。他放棄了平日熱衷的各種遊戲,把課餘時間都用來做所有自己力所能及的工作。半年後,他終於還了父親12.5美元。這個男孩就是後來成為美國總統的列根。父親的所為是為了讓他懂得:犯了錯就該勇於承擔後果,不逃避,也不推卸責任。一個有責任心的人就擁有了至高無尚的靈魂和堅不可摧的力量。 人們一向認為“子債父還”是天經地義的,如果列根的父親當場就幫列根償還了這12.5美元似乎也沒有任何問題。但在兒子錯誤面前,列根的父親不但不包庇,甚至還明確地告訴列根:這錯誤是你犯下的,除了你自己沒人應該承擔責任,包括父親也不行。 我們身為學生也要像列根一樣負責任,自己責任自己揹。 Putonghua Club 29 June 2022

What is responsibility? Responsibility is for people to do what they are supposed to do . Being responsible means being dependable, keeping promises and honoring our commitments . What is the responsibility of being a human? You may think that the responsibility of humans is working. Do humans only need to do this ? No!

The Boy Who Cried Wolf

The Boy Who Cried Wolf

Everyone has different responsibilities. For example, as a student, we are responsible to finish our homework on time, to do revisions for exams, etc. Although it sounds easy to take responsibility in our daily life, we sometimes fail to do it due to different factors. Try to recall your memory, have you ever forgotten to

The topic this month is about taking responsibility, we might have heard the term ‘responsibility’ for many times by now. Whether it is from Mr Manchester in term one that we have different hats and responsibilities, or from Miss Lau that we must be responsible for our appearances or our behaviours, we Shungtakians are not
