Prayers

今個月的分享主題是「仁者自愛，力臻美善」，在開始我的分享之前，我想請同學檢視一下自己的站姿，是否端正？有沒有將身體傾向某一邊？同學的手有沒有放好？仍然好像很有型般插在褲袋中？還是「翹埋雙手」？桌面上的課本筆記合上了沒有？祈禱手冊準備好了麼？在早會站好、專注是學生應盡的本分，顯示對講者，對場合的尊重，亦是自重的表現，理應不需要提醒。能自重即代表你能自愛。   「仁者自愛」一語出自《論語‧孔子家語‧三恕》。有一次孔子向學生提問：有仁德的人，到底應有何表現？子路答道：「仁者使人愛己。」認為仁者應能讓別人愛護自己；子貢答道：「仁者愛人。」認為仁者應懂得愛護別人；顏回答道：「仁者自愛。」認為有仁德的人應該愛惜自己。對於三位弟子的回答，孔子最認同顏回的說法，人能夠做到自愛，才算是真正明白道理的君子。傳統的儒家思想認為由天子到庶民，都應以修身為本，惟有做好個人本分，懂得自愛、自律、自重，然後才可推己及人，懂得愛人、助人，使天下止於至善。   到底怎樣才能做到自愛呢？當然不單愛惜身體那麼簡單。孔子特別重視學生從「德」和「學」這兩方面加強，一個人如果品行有虧，私德有損，見識短淺，試問又怎可以自立自強？如果我們注重自己的品德修養，會不時對個人、對生活加以反省，勤於改正自己的缺點，遇到不如意事，就不會只一味推卸責任、苛責別人，反而會懂得體諒和寬恕，人與人之間自然能減少許多紛擾和怨恨，關係自然更加和諧美好。當學生的，準時上學是你們應盡的責任，遲到時應該認真檢討原因，而非怪責輕鐵脫班、不滿太多人排隊乘電梯，或是埋怨家人在早上霸佔著洗手間而遲到。又例如在一個團隊中，每個人都做好自己應做的本分和責任，互相支持，萬一遇上狀況都不會發生互相推搪指罵的情況。我相信如大家能夠事事求諸己，時刻反省，努力做好自身，你的品德有所改善之餘，學業成績定會有所提升。如果連自己本分也做不好，還如何期望有能力去兼顧身邊人？這好比一個體弱多病的人，一心想救急扶危，只能徒嘆力不從心了。   剛開學不久，望各位同學能立志做個自愛的仁者，成為一個更好的人。   Ms. KY Wong

Good morning to you all. I am happy to share with you on this special day: it’s Day 1 of the first cycle, and I hope all of you are ready to attend classes. Let’s start our morning sharing with a question. What kind of person do you think you are? In our last round

Good morning. Let me first welcome our new S1 students and welcome back to everyone else.   The theme for the month of September is ‘Cherish oneself, strive for goodness’.   So let us examine the word: ‘cherish’.

I believe by now, you all have a good understanding of what the word ‘diligence’ means; but have you taken the time to reflect on what diligence truly means to you as a student, or as a person?   In these few years, because of my school responsibilities, I’ve had more chances to talk to

Today, I would like to address an important upcoming event—Parents’ Day.

Let’s start our morning sharing with a question. Do you know who’s the first person that received two Nobel Prizes?
