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 […]

Talking about taking responsibility, some people may feel that it is hard for them. They may think that “it is too hard for me; I can’t take that.” However, there are a lot of things in your life that you have to take responsibility for. You can’t escape from them. If you have never tried

Before we start, I’d like to ask you a question. Do you have any posts in the school? If yes, please raise your hand and give a round of applause to yourself and those around you, as you are all serving your schoolmates in different ways. I believe most of you have at least one

This month’s theme is about responsibility and it has been explored and thought about by others earlier this month.I really want to explore a little further and give you at least one thing to think about for the rest of the day. The Oxford dictionary defines it as “the state or fact of having a

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

老師今日希望分享兩件真人真事。 在克羅地亞的一個小鎮中，有位老人叫Stjepan vokic,在1993年，他在家門前，發現一隻血跡斑斑的白鶴，已不能飛行，老人於是收留牠，照顧牠，並為牠起名為 Malena,老人天天釣魚給牠吃，他們一起生活，一起散步。 2002年某天，老人發現窩中出現了更大的雄性白鸛，牠没有傷害Malena，兩鳥看起來親密，老人於是為牠起名為Klepetan，從此Malena的生活起了巨大變化。 直到八月，Klepetan突然不見了，只剩Malena。轉眼到三月，Klepetan回來了，原來因為候烏的本能，牠不得不離開，要飛往南非避寒過冬，Klepetan來回足足飛越了14000公里，這事情令全個小鎮都感到很興奮。數月後，老人發現Malena懷孕了，不久解化出小白鶴。轉眼又到八月，Klepetan帶著孩子飛走，老人於是在電視上把之前錄影的片段播給Malena看。 白鸛夫妻的異地戀故事，維持了15年，每年秋天，Klepetan都會遷徙，又會在隔年春天飛返，但直至2017春，Klepetan遲遲未歸，老人發現Klepetan的飛行路線會途經黎巴嫩，當地對鸛鳥的獵殺嚴重，老人於是用Klepetan的羽毛做了一支筆，寫信給黎巴嫩總統閘述白鸛夫妻的故事，也表達了保護鳥類的重要性，希望他能阻止獵人捕鳥的行為，並把影片和資料都發佈到網絡上。 事件旋即在網絡上廣傳，黎巴嫩總統也特意與信件拍照回應，表示會正視這個問題。黎巴嫩的媒體頭條也報道了事件，很多人開始關注保育鳥類的工作。而為了期盼Klepetan歸來，克羅地亞人甚至放了攝錄機，並在市中心大屏幕24小時直播。就在17年4月12日，Klepetan回來了，市中心看著直播的市民興舊歡呼，有人感動落淚，有人激動擁抱。 另一件事發生在英國。 2013年12月凱特王妃因孕吐而入住倫敦愛德華七世醫院期間，兩名澳洲DJ扮作是女王和王儲查理斯王子致電該醫院進行惡作劇。 接聽惡作劇電話的護士薩爾達尼亞誤以為是真的女王和王儲王子致電。把惡作劇電話轉接給另一名護士，而該名護士透露了凱特王妃的病況。事件引起了英國媒體的廣泛報道。 三天之後，46歲的薩爾達尼亞被發現上吊身亡，遺下兩名孩子。 兩人隨後公開道歉，痛哭表示非常後悔，認為自己只是惡作劇，無傷大雅。最後兩人被控過失殺人罪。儘管沒有足夠證據起訴，但我相信兩人終身良心也不好受。 為何講兩個故事呢？一個老人家起初微小而善心的舉動，透過網絡媒體可以感動一整個國家甚至全世界的人，甚至可以推動國家政策的改變。同樣，一個認為無傷大雅的惡作劇，透過媒體的發酵與討論，可以令到當事人承受莫大的壓力，最終發生無人希望見到的悲劇。在今天的世代，一個言論透過媒體與網絡而導致的結果難以預計，我們可以做的，就是為每一個行為作正確的抉擇。 今個月的主題是承擔責任，有權利就有責任同義務。有言論自由的權利，亦要有為自己言論負責的擔當。緊記今天與各位分享的故事，當有人沒有好好履行自己的責任，就有可能有人會因此而受傷害。 Mr. Kwan Y.

Nowadays, it is common to hear “This is your responsibility, not mine. ” or “This is your fault, not mine.”. Of course, we know that taking responsibility may not be an easy task. It may cause unwanted consequence. If we take the responsibility, we need to spend much more time on it and even we

The theme of this month is taking responsibility. To me, it’s not just a matter of responsibility. It’s the result that we achieve with our responsibility. To be more specific, to what extent do you fulfill your responsibility? Mediocre, average, or outstanding? I will take students as an example. You have the responsibility of learning

You might have already known what our responsibilities in different roles are. But did you take action? Taking responsibilities involves keeping promises, completing tasks, and being responsible for the consequences of mistakes. Everyone should be responsible for the surroundings, for others, and for themselves. To shoulder responsibilities, let’s adopt the following attitudes. The first attitude

Taking responsibility is never easy, and sometimes it takes courage too. But that is how it helps us grow. Today, we would like to share a story about taking responsibility. We hope how George Washington dealt with responsibilities can inspire all of you. One day, Washington’s father gave Washington an axe as a gift. He
