Sally was a very proud girl. She belived that she was flawless. One day, Mrs Yeo, her math teacher, asked her to answer a question on the board. Since she had not been paying attention, she had no idea how to answer the question. When she answered the 'all so simple' math problem wrongly, all her classmates laughed at her. She was furious. "My answer is correct! Mrs Yeo has made a mistake in her own working!" she exclaimed. "Sally! You sit down right now! You lose out for not paying attention." Mrs Yeo said in a low voice.
None of us should be like Sally. The value TRUTH means to have theability to admit our mistakes when we are in the wrong.
If we have done something wrong,we should admit our mistake and apologise if needed. We should never think that we are always correct and that it was others' fault

maximising potential
maximising potential..wow you hear that alot now,dont you think.your teachers your principle,and maybe other people but in different ways.because if i heard that from everybody i would be wearing ear-plugs to school.
but it is very hard to do it because to me ,maximising potential comes with insperation.but insperation doesn't hit you like a rock.so you have to think and think and think and think,so after reading this you dont have to wonder why most authors are old with white hair.but i belive if you are determind you will be able to maximise your potential.

god-fearing
god-fearing does not mean that you fear god.but rather respect him for he is higher then you.respecting him means alot of things,but the thing that most people should start with first is to stop saying god damn it.i have to admit that that is also the first thing i say when i hit my finger on the table,or whatever you do to make yourself say god damn it.saying god damn it is not respecting him because you are using his name in vain.
freedom
freedom is something that has to be 'earned',which is kinf of wierd.if you want it work for it,or something like that.
you know sometimes you really do feel like a bird in a cage when you go to school or stay at home.but i know that freedom also has its limits,like when the bird flys too close to the sun it will become BBQ chicken or maybe choke on the atmoshpere.
if you really feel restrained you should tell your...whoevers restraining you...that you feel stressed,'choked',pulled back.but i'm telling you first doing that is not in your best interst because well people dont admit their mistakes.
like maybe the first thing your mum does is accused you of throwing books on the floor when actually it was your younger brother,and when you tell your mother that, she STILL SCREAMS at you because you didnt pick it up when you JUST steped foot in the house.

::justice::
justice is seen in different ways,to us making us do alot of homework is like condaming to a life sentence,but the adults might think likewise.
here is a story on justice which has nothing to do with what i said.
The Bush administration replaced the head of the Bureau of Justice Statistics, Lawrence A. Greenfeld, because he refused to delete references to racial disparities from the press release announcing a Bureau study about traffic stops and other contacts between the public and the police. The report, Contacts between Police and the Public: Findings from the 2002 National Survey found that although Blacks, Hispanics and Whites were roughly equally likely to be stopped by the police, "police were more likely to carry out some type of search on a black (10.2%) or Hispanic (11.4%) than a white (3.5%). " When Mr. Greenfeld refused to delete the references and issue a misleading press release, he was demoted and the report was released without a press release

there is darkness in all our hearts
*-*-*-integrity-*-*-*
do you think that you have integrity??well yeah! but i'm very sure that you will lie once in a while.humans wern't made perfect so god will understand and forgive you if you admit your sins.and try not to make the same mistakes again.Jenny was so happy about the house they had found.
For once in her life 'twas on the right side of town.She unpacked her things with such great ease.As she watched her new curtains blow in the breeze.
How wonderful it was to have her own room.School would be starting, she's have friends over soon.There'd be sleep-overs, and parties: she was so happy.It's just the way she wanted her life to be.
On the first day of school, everything went great.She made new friends and even got a date.She thought, "I want to be popular and I'm going to be,Because I just got a date with the star of the team!"
To be known in this school you had to have a clout,And dating this guy would sure help her out.There was only one problem stopping her fate.Her parents had said she was too young to date.
"Well, I just won't tell them the entire truth.They won't know the difference:what's there to lose?"Jenny asked to stay with her friends that night.Her parents frowned but said, "All right."
Excited, she got ready for the big event.But as she rushed around like she had no sense,She began to feel guilty about all the lies,But what's a pizza, a party, and a moonlight ride?
Well the pizza was good, and the party was great,But the moonlight ride would have to wait.For Jeff was half drunk by this time.But he kissed her and said that he was just fine.
Then the room filled with smoke and Jeff took a puff.Jenny couldn't believe he was smoking that stuff.Now Jeff was ready to ride to the point,But only after he'd smoked another joint.
They jumped in the car for the moonlight ride,Not thinking that he was too drunk to drive.They finally made it to the point at last,And Jeff started trying to make a pass.
A pass is not what Jenny wanted at all(and by a pass, I don't mean playing (football)."Perhaps my parents were right....maybe I am too young.Boy, how could I ever, ever be so dumb."
With all of her might, she pushed Jeff away:"Please take me home, I don't want stay."Jeff cranked up the engine and floored the gas.In a matter of seconds they were going too fast.
As Jeff drove on in a fit of wild anger,Jenny knew that her life was in danger.She begged and pleaded for him to slow down,But he just got faster as they neared the town.
"Just let me get home!I'll confess that I lied.I really went out for a moonlight ride."Then all of a sudden, she saw a big flash."Oh God, Please help us! We're going to crash!"
She doesn't remember the force of impact.Just that everything all of a sudden went black.She felt someone remove her from the twisted rubble,And heard, "Call an ambulance! These kids are in trouble!"
Voices she heard...a few words at best.But she knew there were two cars involved in the wreck.Then wondered to herself if Jeff was all right,And if the people in the other car were alive.
She awoke in the hospital to faces so sad."You've been in a wreck and it looks pretty bad."These voices echoed inside her head,As they gently told her that Jeff was dead.
They said "Jenny, we've done all we can do.But it looks as if we'll lose you too.""But the people in the other car?" Jenny cried."We're sorry, Jenny, they also died."
Jenny prayed, "God, forgive me for what I've done.I only wanted to have just one night of fun."Tell those people's family, I've made their lives dim,And wish I could return their families to them."
"Tell Mom and Dad I'm sorry I lied,And that it's my fault so many have died.Oh, nurse, won't you please tell them that for me?"The nurse just stood there-she never agreed.
But took Jenny's hand with tears in her eyes.And a few moments later Jenny died.A man asked the nurse, "Why didn't you do you best,To bid that girl her one last request?"
She looked at the man with eyes oh so sad."Because the people in the other car were her mom and dad."This story is sad and unpleasant but true,So young people take heed, it could have been you.
please refelct on this and pray to god every day.
