Do it properly

Let's study the student guide to be better person. Let's start at home, do our part to create better relationship.Chapter 2: Be cautious in your daily life
Part 1
Get up in the morning before your parents; at night, go to bed only parents have gone to sleep.
When you realize that time is passing you by and cannot be turned back, and that you are getting older year by year, you will especially treasure the present moment.
When you get up in the morning, wash your face and brush your teeth.
After using the toilet, always wash your hands.
You must wear your hat straight, and make sure the books of your clothes are tied.
Make sure socks and shoes are worn neatly and correctly.
Place your hat and clothes away in their proper places.
Do not carelessly throw your clothes around, for that will get them dirty.
My view:
We learn to do properly and cautious about own attitudes, like cleanliness, proper dressing. The good habits will surely benefit us and others.

Moral education

Recently, I read the local news that two young person [ a lady-scholarship holder and a man ] were charged for walking nude in the district called Holland village. Both were fined for improper behaviour.
Luckily, this was the rare case here. I am wondering what are their motive? They said that they wanted to feel the thrill.
Both of them are highly educated but they have zero moral concept.
Proper moral education should be emphasized especially in this century.
What do you think?

Gracious society

In order to have more gracious society, everybody should play the part. Through participation, our society will move towards the path of goodness.
Today, while waiting bus at the bus stop, I see the poster in the notice board quite interesting. It is my pleasure to share it out.
This is the good reminder because human tend to forget goodness.
Graciousness is showing your consideration for others by not eating and drinking inside the bus.
Allowing others to board by moving to the rear of the bus.
Keeping the environment clean by not littering inside the bus.
Caring for others by giving up your seats to those who need it more, giving a helping hand to someone in need.
Showing appreciation by saying thank you to someone who brighten your day.
My note:
Wow, you see, we can do so many good deeds within the bus.
If you want true happiness, then we should do it sincerely in the bus. Surely you will brighten someone the whole day.

Respect to elders

Let's study the student guide to be better person. Let's start at home, do our part to create better relationship.
Chapter 2: Standards for a younger brother when away from home.
Part 2
In front of an elder, do not show off.
If you meet an elder you know on the streets, promptly greet him. If he does not speak to you, step back and respectfully stand aside.
If you are riding in a car, horse, carriage, you should stop, get out and ask if you can give him a ride.
If you meet an elder passing by, you should stand aside and wait respectfully; do not leave until you can no longer see him.
When an elder is standing, do not sit. After an elder sits down, sit only when you are told to do so.
Before an elder, speak softly. But if your voice is too low and hard to hear, it is not appropriate.
When meeting an elder, walk briskly towards him, when leaving, do not exit in haste.
When answering a question, look at the person who is asking you the question.
Serve your uncles as if you are serving your parents;
Treat your cousins as if they are your siblings.
My view:
From young, we need to respect elders. It help us to get along well with others in the society. Knowing all these will benefit us the whole life.
