{/Charity --

This is my fifth post (probably my last). It is about charity. Charity means "kindness and understanding towards other people". We can be charitable in many ways. One way is to donate unwanted items to the poor/aged. We can also just help people in need. The key word is "help"

In certain cases, for example helping friends in their homework, many people will have the thought that it won't benefit us. But actually, we are also learning from it. Both parties may exchange pointers while studying together.

There's a nice comforting feeling when we practise charity. If everyone can be more charitable, the world will surely become a better place, right?

This is my fourth post. It is about loyalty. Loyalty means "the quality of staying firm in your friendship or support for someone or something". To me, it means making good use of other people's trust on you and not betraying it.

For example, a friend called on Sunday night to tell you that he/she is not able to come to school the next day as he/she has fallen ill. Your friend trusted you to tell the teacher the next day what he/she had just told you. It's right that you tell the teacher when you're in school the next day.

We must cherish charity. Or else many friendships will be broken. You won't want that, do you?

{/Integrity --

This is my third post. It is about integrity. Integrity means "being honest and firm in your moral principles". It means that we should not lie (of course). It is also about our conscience. Everyone should have a clear conscience, not a guilty one. We should think before we act, or else there would be dire consequences. Doing the right things is also important.

We have to be wise when making choices in order to avoid mistakes. Making mistakes is definitely inevitable in life, but we shouldn't commit the same mistakes again if we had done it once. We may not be perfect, but making the right choices will sure help us a great deal.

Integrity is an important value everyone should possess.

{/Ingenuity --

This is my second post. And it will be about ingenuity. Ingenuity means "skill at working out how to achieve things or skill at inventing new things". Simply said, it is about creativity and innovation. Ingenuity is using our own creativity to make or invent new things, or find new methods to solve problems.

For example, Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, one of the greatest and most useful inventions in the world. He used his ingenuity to create it, along with other observations other scientists had made when experimenting with the light bulb. In the end, he succeeded.

We do not need to be a very smart person to invent new things. Who knows? Maybe our small inventions can become a very useful one in future.

{/Ability to Succeed --

ABILITY TO SUCEED
This is my school's first school value. As you can see, it is about the ability to succeed. To me, ability to succeed means using your own capabilities to succeed in every aspect of life. We have to work hard to succeed. Perseverance plays a part in succeeding. If we give up easily, we won't be able to achieve our ultimate goals in life. It is also important to make an effort in what we do. It may not have the best result, but at least we have done our best.
