圣严法师
常会勉励癌症末期的病人说：
“不要等死、怕死，
多活一天、一分、一秒都是好的，
珍惜活着的生命。
因为生和死，都是无限时间之中的必然现象；
不该死的时候不应求死，
必须要死的时候，贪生也没有用。”

死亡的降临，是不受年龄限制，
也不按年龄顺序进行。
所以曾有位禅师写了：
“父死子死孙死”
给一个富翁当祝贺的对联。
但这世上，白发人送黑发人的现象，
还是不时发生。
这就是无常。

因为人一出生就决定了会死，
而且任何人随时随地都可能会死。
所以网上曾流传这么一句：
“我们有什么好怕的，
来到这世上，有谁能活着离开？”
人不要怕死、等死，
但也不要寻死。
每一个人都有其存在的原因，
To the world, you may be just one person,
But to one person, you may be the world.

那，什么时候会死呢？
逃不掉，又难预料，
所以忧虑也没有用，担心也没有用，
惟有用心过好每一天、每一刻，
因为每一天、每一刻
都可能是最后一天、最后一刻。

不要因害怕死亡，
而先被恐惧控制。
人，除了不可寻死，
也不可怕死，更不要等死。
活着的时候，好好活着，
必须死的时候，顺其接受.

Can you pls translate into English?

Thanks.

Hi I try my best, anybody who can correct me is welcome to do so
Thanks in advance

Do not wait for death or be afraid of death
For every day, every minute, every second that you are alive
You should cherish every moment of it
Because life and death is a natural occurrence
You should not ask to die if your time is not up,
As when it is time for you to die, you will not live too

Death does not limit itself to age nor does it goes according to age
Thus, there is the occurrence of the younger one dying before the older generation

We are all destined to die when we were born
As anyone can die at any time and any moment or any place

What’s death to be afraid of?
Who will leave this earth alive??
Thus, we should not fear death or wait for death or look for death
There is a reason for your existence as
To the world, you may be just one person
But to one person, you may be the world
So when will we die?
Since we cannot escape death neither can we predict death
Why should we bother ourselves with it?
We should instead focus on living every day, every moment, every second as if that is our last day, last moment

Do not be controlled by fear of death because you are afraid of death
We should not seek death, fear death, or simply wait for death without doing anything
When you are alive, live a good life
When it’s time to die, just accept it naturally

Now I know why it is "messy" for my DD2 (P2 this year)


1) FT was on course
2) Co-FT was young and inexperienced (From the meeting yesterday)

FT will only come back end of the week so hopefully all order will be restored.

Cheers
Peace to all

Today DD2 told me no timetable yet.


There was a letter from the school on the Form Teachers’ for P2. But the teacher stated is not the teacher that is in my DD2 class??

DD1 confirmed has the timetable already. Also I know for sure her FT is really strict and fierce. First day of school the whole class got scolding…

Ha Ha Ha I told her if you never done anything wrong why would you need to be frightened of the FT scolding you, she told me "but I never do anything wrong…" (It seems the whole class got a "taste" of the FT "fire")

Tomorrow’s meeting might shed a better light on this year. Also looking forward to P3 meeting next week. See how it goes…

Peace
Cheers to all
"Jia You!! Jia You!!"

Hi Cap


I think that they seem very "messy" at every start of the year so far for DD1 and DD2.

DD1 - P2 change Form Teacher, change location of classroom twice
DD2 - P2 change Form Teacher

My colleague who has a kid in P2 this year from another school, before school starts, received a email from the Form Teacher stating some instructions and stuff.

For both my DDs, I don’t even know who the Form Teacher is until one week after school starts. (Due to DDs cannot remember the teacher’s name)

Sigh…

The major hurdle this year is whether DD1 can adapt to another subject and also how she will perform as she is no longer under the "no exam years"

Let’s work hard together!!!
Cheers
Peace to all

Hi ah_bee & Cap


Timetable should be out this week (stated in the Form Teacher’s letter for P3)
DD2 don’t have such letter but I also presume should be out this week.

All spelling lists out!! (P2 & P3) Spelling starts this week.
Always ensure that they learn their spelling everyday.

Tomorrow (14.01.2014) has a parent-teacher kind of meeting for P2, next week is P3.

P2 also has letter from school for swimming, just take note.

Not sure about the rotation of Form Teacher, DD2 Form Teacher is different from P1 but she said some of the other classes has the same Form Teacher as last year.

DD1 is more interested in what CCA she can join!! (CCA selection is not much for them anyway…)

See how it goes, especially the meeting tomorrow and next week.

Cheers
Peace to all

Every child is different


Every parent is different

Every family is different

What you can / cannot do is different to what others can / cannot do

So if you feel you are doing the best you can at your arrangement so be it, don’t have to term yourself "weekend / weekday"??

Don’t need to give yourself added stress on trying to live up to others’ expectations.

If you have already tried your best, it should not matter what others think because the "shoe might not fit"

Cheers
Peace to all
