Learn to Laugh

Why do we take ourselves so seriously? Why can’t we look at the bright side and learn to
discover humor in everything we do? Without laughter life becomes one colorless, drab
existence. Life without laughter is like eating eggs without salt.

Religion, which is supposed to promote a happy outlook, is often made to look staid and stiffly
formal, like those saintly cathedral icons that don’t even know how to smile! The statement
“You look saintly” for instance, has taken on a negative connotation that you don’t look cheerful.

She Walks in Beauty

BY LORD BYRON (GEORGE GORDON)

She walks in beauty, like the night

Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,

Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,

So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

A MORAL RECOVERY

Ours is a sick nation gravely afflicted with the interlocking diseases of poverty, passivity,
graft and corruption, exploitive patronage, factionalism, political instability, love for intrigue,
lack of discipline, lack of patriotism and the desire for self-gratification and wealth. A cancerous
growth is affecting the vital organs of our society to the extent that we seem to be in a state of
paralysis: the patient is not responding to the problems confronting it. The time calls for an
analysis of our social cancer. We are both the doctor and the patient. As Jesus Christ said in
quoting a proverb “Physician heal Thyself”.

The time demands for self-knowledge and self-examination. Let us remember the words
of the Greek Philosopher Socrates when he said, “The unexamined life is not worth living”.

Parents Involvement and Participation

Involving parents in the work of the school has been practiced by mentors of all levels

and was proven important in the public schools. The extent to which the school staff and parents

work together to promote student learning has been shown to be related to school effectiveness. 50
On the other hand, many parents especially the unschooled do not fully understand what

goes on in a class and what the teachers are doing for their children. It is therefore imperative for

teachers whose children have learning problem particularly the slow learner to involve parents in

school functions.51

TEN COMMANDMENTS ON READING

READ WITH A PURPOSE

EVERY NOW AND THEN VARY THE SUBJECT AREA

READ PROFESSIONAL JOURNALS AND OTHER SCHOLARLY PUBLICATIONS IN

YOUR AREA OF SPECIALIZATION

ALTHOUGH SOME NEWSPAPERS TEND TO REPORT MORE ON THE EVIL RATHER

THAN ON THE GOOD, READ THE DAILIES

TAKE A BOOK ALONG WITH YOU WHENEVER YOU GO

WHILE SAVING TIME IS ADMITTEDLY A LAUDABLE VIRTUE, DON’T READ WHILE

YOU’RE DRIVING

BUY ONLY BOOKS WHICH YOU SPECIFICALLY NEED TO REFER TO AND OVER
AGAIN

READ WITH A PEN OR PENCIL, READY TO UNDERSCORE OR ANNOTATE YOUR

BOOK

DON’T BELIEVE EVERYTHING THAT’S PRINTED JUST BECAUSE IT’S PRINTED

INSTEAD OF STARTING YOUR DAY WITH THE MORNING PAPER AND ENDING THE
SAME WITH THE LATE, LATE SHOW, READ YOUR BIBLE
