Last week, we were treated to an assembly talk on kindness. Kindness is defined in Collins Cobuild Dictionary as 'the quality of being gentle, caring and helpful.' We can be kind to others in our words, thoughts and deeds. Here are some quotations on kindness for you to ponder:
- 'Kind words can be short and easy to speak but their echoes are truly endless.' (Mother Teresa)
- 'Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.' (Mark Twain)
- ' expect to pass through this world but once; any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.' (Stephen Grellet)
For this week, I would like you to reflect on the meaning of kindness in your life. To guide you in your writing, these are the questions for you to consider:
- What do you mean by 'kindness?
- Has anyone shown any kindness to you? Can you describe how he/she did it?
- Have you done any act of kindness to anyone? Can you describe what you have done?
- What acts of kindness do you intend to do for the month of April and May?
Here is a song on kindness which you will enjoy listening:

I look forward to reading your reflection soon.
Mr Ong
