FRIDAY, LOTINE SAS
IN HIS WORK, HE WAS REMINDED TIME AND AGAIN BY THE WORDS OF MENCIUS: +FROM THESE THINGS WE SEE HOW LIFE SPRINGS FROM SORROW AND CALAMITY BUT DEATH FROM EASE AND PLEASURE, HE SAID.
+SO IT HAS BEEN WITH YOUR SCHOOL WHOSE VIGOROUS LIFE WITH 1 200 STUDENTS, 40 TEACHERS AND MODERN FACILITIES SPRINGS FROM THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF THE PAST,+ MR AKERS-JONES SAID.
+SO, TOO, WHEN WE LOOK BEYOND THE CONFINES OF YOUR SCHOOL, HOW MUCH OF OUR HARDWON LIFE IN HONG KONG SPRINGS FROM THE INGENUITY AND ENTERPRISE WITH WHICH WE HAVE TACKLED THE PROBLEMS OF THE PAST.
+ IN HONG KONG WE HAVE BUILT, ARE BUILDING, AND WILL BUILD AN EVEN GREATER CITY THAN THAT OF TODAY.
+AND WE SHOULD VIEW THE FUTURE AS WE HAVE THE PAST, NOT IN TERMS OF HOW AND WHEN TO ESCAPE TO THE PURSUIT OF EASE AND PLEASURE OF WHICH MENCIUS WARNS US BUT HOW OUT OF OUR PRESENT PROBLEMS WE CAN BUILD LIFE FOR TOMORROW.+
MR AKERS-JONES SAID MANY TRANSCENDENT PHILOSOPHIES COULD BE TRANSLATED INTO QUITE SIMPLE TERMS TO GUIDE PEOPLE.
+FIRSTLY, CONCERN FOR YOUR FAMILY BEYOND THE FAMILY TO YOUR COLLEAGUES AND FRIENDS BEYOND THEM TO THE COMMUNITY.
+SO WE CAN NEVER SAY THIS OR THAT IS NO CONCERN OF MINE'.
+EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS IS OUR CONCERN AND YOUR ATTITUDE TO THE SIMPLE PROBLEMS WHICH CONTINUALLY CONFRONT OUR COMMUNITY IS
IMPORTANT.
+'COURTESY', 'CLEAN HONG KONG' 'DEFEAT DRUGS' 'FIGHT CRIME', THESE ARE NOT MERELY SLOGANS AND EMPTY WORDS THEY SPEAK TO YOU! THEY INVOLVE US ALL.
+THE WAY WE FACE THESE PROBLEMS, WHICH DIRECTLY AFFECT OUR DAILY LIVES, ALSO INDICATES THE WAY IN WHICH WE FACE THE LESS CONCRETE PROBLEMS OF THE FUTURE.
+WE CAN BE CONFIDENT AND POSITIVE, OR WE CAN ESCAPE TO THAT WORLD OF EASE AND PLEASURE OF WHICH MENCIUS WARNS US, HE SAID.
MR AKERS-JONES SAID HE WAS ALSO HEARTENED BY THE WAY THE TRINITY SCHOOL IS JOINING WITH OTHER SCHOOLS IN KOWLOON CITY TO STRENGTHEN THE BONDS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.
TO THIS END, A SCHOOL PRINCIPALS' ASSOCIATION IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING ESTABLISHED IN THE DISTRICT.
+THIS ASSOCIATION WILL HELP MOBILISE THE TREMENDOUS RESOURCES OF THE TEACHING PROFESSION TO TACKLE PROBLEMS, HE ADDED.
