TRUTH.Truth means to be faithful to someone. Like your friends, you must tell them the truth inorder for them to believe YOU. So what if you lied about yourself . All you get is their fake LOVE. Truth is also related to TRUST.
it takes one year to develop trust between you and me. But you only need 1 minute to break the trust.
Thats what one of my friend told me. Its really painful to know that no friends will ever trust you. Would you rather suffer then? OR. By simply telling the truth? ITS YOUR CHOICE:D
maximising potential.
maximising potential means to MAXIMISE our standards. To be a better person and to know ourself better. For our Term1 CD lessons, we learnt about Maximising potential. We learnt about ourself, to know whether we could manage our stress or not.
Its some kind of learning skill we all need in life. To know ourself better, we can know what our weaknesses are and improve on it.

The greatest wealth is health. ~VirgilPower, 1860I reckon being ill as one of the great pleasures of life, provided one is not too ill and is not obliged to work till one is better. ~Samuel Butler, The Way of All Flesh, 1903
Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon. ~Doug Larson
Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. ~World Health Organization, 1948
Eat right, exercise regularly, die anyway. ~Author Unknown
As a people, we have become obsessed with Health. There is something fundamentally, radically unhealthy about all this. We do not seem to be seeking more exuberance in living as much as staving off failure, putting off dying. We have lost all confidence in the human body. ~Lewis Thomas, The Medusa and the Snail, 1979
If I'd known I was going to live so long, I'd have taken better care of myself. ~Leon Eldred
They claim red meat is bad for you. But I never saw a sick-looking tiger. ~Chi Chi Rodriguez
Physical ills are the taxes laid upon this wretched life; some are taxed higher, and some lower, but all pay something. ~Lord Chesterfield
In our own words:
healthy and gracious lifestyle :D inorder to be healthy, we of course must eat alot of vegetables. But inorder to have a HEALTHY AND GRACIOUS LIFE , we ourselves have to be gracious. For example, you're on the bus, you saw this old lady. Obviously she needs the seat more than you. To be gracious, means to give someone who needs more than you. :D
God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose. Take which you please - you can never have both. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad. ~Aldous Huxley
Truth, like milk, arrives in the darkBut even so, wise dogs don't bark.Only mongrels make it hardFor the milkman to come up the yard.~Christopher Morley, Dogs Don't Bark at the Milkman
There is no god higher than truth. ~Mahatma
GandhTruth has very few friends and those few are suicides. ~Antonio Porchia,
Voces, 1943, translated from Spanish by W.S. Merwin
The trouble about man is twofold. He cannot learn truths which are too complicated; he forgets truths which are too simple. ~Rebecca West
Truth is rarely writ in ink; it lives in nature. ~Martin H. Fischer
Truth is after all a moving targetHairs to split,
And pieces that don't fitHow can anybody be enlightened?
Truth is after all so poorly lit.
~Neil Peart

integrityDo not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
WOMEN OF INTEGRITY
when we did something wrong. we tent to lie because we don't wan to get into trouble. Being women of integrity, we shouldn't do so. We should tell the truth and things may not be as worst as we thought ! :D

'It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you.' -Dick Cheney
Freedom means choosing your burden. ~Hephzibah Menuhin
Yesyes. Freedom is the will to be responsible for ourselves and our actions. Freedom is not about enjoying life and doing whatever you wanted to do. When you've done something wrong, you have to be responsible for it. And not running away from it.
Freedom. Sometimes, when we came across a difficulty, its your freedom to choose which way to go.
For example...
- When a friend ask you to stole something from the shop. She will tell everyone you're a chicken if u don't do it.
DO YOU.
- follow what she said.
or
- DON'T?
its your freedom to choose. You must be responsible for whatever you did wrong. Cause, when god has given the chance to choose the correct way. You chosed the wrong way. You can't blamed it on anyone else because YOU are the one who chosed to do so. Not him/her.
That explains the quotation, 'Freedom means choosing your burden.'
:D
