national day

people, national day 2010 is over.
but this is not an end, this is a new beginning.
this is a new beginning for a new singapore.
every national day, singapore showcases its short but rich history.
we should always hope that the next year national day would be more spectacular than the previous.
not only in the pyrotechnics, but also in the history and legacy.
we must work hard to strive for excellence.
in the school values, excellence is a very important value.
excellence is nothing without resilience and integrity.
resilience is all about will power and the ability never to give up.
even when all hopes are lost, there is still that glimmer of hope lingering in the end of the dark tunnel.
people say the strongest light casts the strongest shadows.
the same saying can be applied to us.
if we are facing a difficulty, ie a very dark shadow
there is always a strong light casting it
everything happens for a reason, for better or for worse
every difficulty is a challenge for us to improve ourselves.
integrity is doing the right thing, at the right time, even when no one else is looking
this is equally important,
because in the struggle for excellence, people are tempted to cheat
we must control that temptation, and win with our own power and strength
that is a true victory
victory by cheating means is a hollow victory and is in no way glorious.
we must strive for excellence, but integrity must come first
the product of resilience and integrity is without a doubt excellence.
so lets move on stronger everybody. LETS GO
