This quote makes me feel that gratitude is powerful and impactful. I feel this way because gratitude can change a persons attitude and the way someone thinks in life. By showing to people that your are thankful and appreciative for something they did for you, it will make someone feel that they have impacted you greatly and will feel good about it. So gratitude is a two-way street. It makes yourself and others happy. This quote to me means showing that your are appreciative. To others, this quote may mean being thankful for a particular thing that they have in their life.

This quote makes me feel very good because to me gratitude is very important in someone’s life as when being gracious to someone it can make his or her day much more better through a good morning, hi or even just a high five. It also makes me feel very good as to me being gracious or having gratitude goes a long way as it passes along people, example if I were to start saying good morning to everyone slowly everyone would also follow on and also start saying good morning. I can apply this quote daily through greeting everyone and saying hi to everyone I see as being gracious will pass along and may even make someone’s day better.

The quote allows me to understand that through gratitude it doesn’t only help us learn the value itself it would also be able to benefit others through the small things that we do that makes others happy, even the smallest action by saying hi could also allow others to feel welcomed and be happy! Because whenever someone is receiving gratitude it gives them a sense of belonging and the happiness. With this quote I am able to remember to express my gratitude every single time as it could make others day and by that it would also make my day too!! This quote

This quote makes me feel happy that the quote sort of ‘simplifies’ why we show gratitude to others by using language even kindergartener can understand. It makes me like, want to show care and respect to others so that it might possible make their day better, especially when they’re feeling down. The way they used basic language also tells me that gratitude is something that even kids such as kindergarteners or lower primary students can show. They and subsequently we, could show gratitude and appreciation to our teachers, for trying their best to educate us for the future, and friends, for being there when we need support the most and when we are at our lowest. We could apply this quote in our lives by seeking and finding every opportunity to make others happy. We can like help others who need them, doing basic things such as greeting teachers and friends by saying good morning/afternoon, or, if with friends, hi/hello.

this quote made me reflect and feel a sense of gratitude for the simplest things in life, such as having a comfortable bed and easy access to clean water. i feel this way as gratitude empowers me to appreciate the little things instead of taking them for granted due to the commonality of them. instead of desiring for more, being grateful allows you to already appreciate the things you currently have thus leading to a more positive life. focus on what you have instead of what you don’t have! i can apply this quote to my daily life by simply smiling at others, greeting them and thanking them for what they’ve done for me. this quote can also remind me of how crucial gratitude is to me and that i can practice it by writing it down or reflecting on what i’m grateful for at the end of every day.

This quote reminds me to grateful for everything i have at the moment and i can't be taking things for granted. I feel that everything that we have currently isn't going to be ours permanently, it'll be gone just before we knew it.

Always be thankful to what you have, don't go for things that you think are cool or trendy just for the sake of being popular or fitting in. And always say thank you to people who had helped you along the way

i’m grateful for EVERYTHING in my life. it’s a wide range from waking up everyday to meeting new people. i believe it’s important to be grateful for everything in life and appreciate life as a whole. if we don’t appreciate life as a whole , our life would never be full. ups and downs are necessary to be where we are today

if i had to really choose something i am grateful for , i would say i’m most grateful for the people i meet. it doesn’t matter if they left or stayed with me. people come and go , that’s life. people are either meant to be with you or meant to teach you a lesson

i’m forever grateful for everyone that i’ve met. all the smiles , laughs and memories created would always be with me no matter what. whenever i’m with my people , time goes slower and that makes me want to live each moment with them to the fullest. they helped me change into a better person

i feel like gratitude is important because once we start applying it everyday , it’s as if the way we view the world around us would get brighter. and if we get brighter , the people around us can feel our positivity too !! 🐣

This quote makes me feel blessed because when I think of this quote, it reminds of me the people that helped and supported my life, such as my parents, friends and teachers. This daily life quote can be applied by thinking about the people that have helped and supported me during my mindful breathing, I can continue to keep on feeling that gratitude and let it flow in my mind. I can also tell this quote to others to cheer them up when they are upset as not only they can be grateful of the people around them, but also yourself.This quote means that when you think of something grateful, you tend to smile and feel happy by that. If that gratitude feeling is natural to you, you will feel happy for a long time. If I could help someone and that that person is grateful of my help, it also paints smiley faces on them through this quote.

This quote made me really think back and made me feel greatful as even though I wasn't greatful for what my parents when I was young. I try my best to make up for my mistakes and would try to make my parents proud as best as I can. I would mostly try to do a lot of school related activities like going for competitions and getting the highest results I can give, just to see my parents smile

this quote captures the profound impact of gratitude on our perception of life. like an artist's brush, gratitude has the power to paint little smiling faces on even the most mundane or challenging aspects of our existence. when we cultivate a mindset of thankfulness, we begin to notice the beauty and goodness in the world around us, transforming our outlook from one of scarcity to abundance. every experience, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, becomes imbued with a sense of joy and appreciation. gratitude becomes a lens through which we view the world, infusing even the simplest moments with profound meaning and positivity.

i can apply this by thanking and appreciating people around me

qairin_rohaizad — 2024-02-23 00:42:59 UTC

This quote makes me feel that i should always appreciate things in life. Appreciate things in life because not everything last forever. It’s always better to cherish all those tiny things , all those memories with friends, family/relatives and schoolmates or teachers. It doesn’t hurt me to say ‘thank you’ to those who had supported me through my ups and downs, those who had supported me through my success and failures . The more that i get older the more I realise that everyone come and everyone go, and each time a person go, I will always learn something new either about them or in general. And to me personally, it doesn’t really matter if they go, because I’m always thankful for all the memories we had created. All those simple ‘thank you’ or ‘hi’, ‘bye’ and even the little hugs or high fives or even doing something to put a smile or a laughter on each others faces are a simple way to show gratitude, to show that i appreciate them. I can apply this quote daily by saying ‘thank you’ or do small actions like helping them, hugging them or even high five them. Simple things like ‘hi’ and ‘bye’ are also a way to apply the quote daily as it doesn’t hurt to show someone that I appreciate them and thankful for them.

Serving Hands

ang_kay_lee — 2024-03-03 03:01:13 UTC

This quote suggests when we help others, we can brighten their live while discovering our passion and developing our unique personality. For example, when you uplift people around you—whether the community or your friends; you will grow into a better version of yourself. Serving others comes in many ways, such as volunteering for community events. How about you? How do you plan to serve others? 😝

ang_kay_lee — 2024-03-03 03:05:09 UTC

This quote made me inspired! I never thought having gratitude would give positive to everyone, we can show kindness to the elderly that needed help. This quote means showing love to everyone and I think other people will think the same!

Sample Reflection: Kay Lee (4G)

ang_kay_lee — 2024-03-03 04:06:30 UTC

I feel encouraged by this quote as it highlights that serving and helping others is a two-way street—when you uplift others, you become more understanding towards their situations. Hence, you can learn from them and grow!

I have learned from my peers that you can serve in various ways. From viewing the school's Instagram page, I was super impressed by how the Sec 3s supported each other through challenging activities like kayaking. Even when they were tired, they still cheered for their peers and worked together to reach the final destination. Other than that, I've seen some Sec 2s comforting their teammates after they’ve made a mistake in the kin-ball activity. All of them are stellar examples of serving others in the face of challenges! I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my classmates who encouraged me during the mock interview at the Sec 4/5s level study camp. I was stuttering and nervous at first, but their words of kindness calmed me down and gave me the confidence I needed.

Personally, this quote means that we can all play our part in serving others. For example, I find value in community work, such as Northbrooks’ monthly food distribution drive-- Project Sunshine. Seeing how my effort can bring a smile to others' faces warms my heart and urges me to continue giving my best to contribute to the community! I believe everyone has their unique definition of this quote and the perspective of serving others, but the idea of making a positive impact on others should be the same! 😝

charlene_yang_xin_lei — 2024-03-15 05:49:40 UTC

The quote inspires me to continue helping others and serve the school! The quote is about while we step up to help others have a brighter life, we brighten our own lives through learning and growing from the experiences.

One of my most memorable contributions to the school would be being part of sec 1 orientation this year! Not only did I have a blast bonding with my ogls and sec 1s, I managed to help them get out of their comfort zones and adjust to the new secondary school environment which I understand can be daunting. It warms my heart seeing the sec 1s slowly get comfortable with the environment and each other, laughing with each other and enjoying orientation.

An out side school contribution that was memorable to me was volunteering at touch for meals on wheels. It a bit scary going door to door talking to the elderly residents and giving them food, the friendly elderly and getting more comfortable with the process helped a lot. Seeing the smiles on the elderly’s faces and getting to try something new made the efforts all worth it!

This quote has influence me to help others as by doing so , you naturally help yourself ! By helping and offering your assistance to others , you also help yourself grow into a better person. One memory I have that is very dear to my heart is being able to take part in the secondary 1 orientation this year. As a cgl , me and my fellow CGLs worked together , helped each other and motivated each other to ensure a smooth flow of orientation. We worked together with the ogls to ensure a week of fun and a feeling of family to the secondary 1s. I would like to thanks the teachers , who offered us support and advice when we needed them the most. I hope that as a student councilor, I can continue being the voice of students. Offering my assistance to anyone.

This quote has inspired me to always help others in need. When you are helping someone, it might seem like a small action. But to them, it can mean a lot, and sometimes you may never know how much of help that person needed.
My most memorable moment of how I have contributed to the school was when I helped pitch tents for my friends and fellow schoolmates during the level camp. Even though we were all tired and it was very hot, my friends and I persevered and pitched tents for others to use at night.
I would like to appreciate my fellow councillors for their support and efforts when doing duty or just participating in council and school events.
I hope that by the end of 2024, I can help more people and hopefully make their day by helping them.

This quote means that by helping others, you help yourself.
I have contributed to others by being in helping out during the sec 1 orientation which helped the sec 1 create a unforgettable memory in their secondary school life and help them settle down into a new environment. By helping others, I also have bonded closer to others and learnt a lot from this wonderful new experience.
I would like to appreciate the cleaners for helping keep our school clean and create a conducive environment for us to learn and grow together.
I hope by the end of 2024, i can help more people.

1) I can’t choose between anybody because everyone means something to me, including the teachers. Everyone has taught me many, many things and even helped each other to nature and grow. Without them, I would’ve been lost.

2) I have contributed to Northbrooks by studying and revising. Other than academics, I have been a part of Project Sunshine which is a VIA project and I am glad I can give back to the community.

3) As a performer, since it is my last performance, it is important to represent Northbrooks to show everyone that we are what we are. That we have good qualities.

I'm grateful for everyone around me, regardless of whether they know me or not.

One of my contributions to the school was organizing the Team Nila Nature Kids Festival in 2023. I thoroughly enjoyed participating in that event as it allowed me to give back to the community and bond with my peers and teachers.

I believe our presence is crucial during Speech Day, especially as we are nearing graduation. Speech Day is an opportunity to celebrate Northbrooks' achievements, honor alumni who excelled in the National Exams last year, and showcase the efforts and experiences of Brooksians throughout the year.

I am grateful for my peers and teachers for being able to help all of us with the preparations and rehearsals for Speech Day as this would be my last performance in school. Other than studying and paying attention in class; I have contribute to the school in VIA projects such as Project Sunshine that I did with my Drama Club members!

I’ve learnt that by being a part of something that contributes to something good, be it big or small, you are definitely important in someone’s life. Lighting up someone’s way may not be an easy task but it’s definitely worth it to have someone full happy and grateful for your efforts!

I have many people to thank in my life. I can’t choose between anybody because everyone means something to me, including the teachers. Everyone has taught me many, many things and even helped each other to nature and grow. Without them, I would’ve been lost.

Hence, moving forward in 2024, I look forward to contribute to my CCA one last time and to Northbrooks in the upcoming Speech Day!

“Giving back is the greatest gift one can receive.” I sincerely believe that in this world and life we have, to be alone makes life so somber, so miserable. I too once believed that if I went on my path alone I would not have to pull others down along with me. Oh how wrong I was. Now as a leader, guiding my cadets through challenges and obstacles do I come to realise how much I have missed out. Helping one another, made them see their potential within themselves, reach newer heights! I think one example that sticks out to me was my CCA camp, a gruelling, tough, and some what enlightening experience. Within it I saw my cadets forge bonds, working towards a common goal, and most importantly learn more about themselves and their newfound friends. Maybe I had a role in it? Maybe I made an inclusive environment, I don’t know, some times we don’t see and know how we impacted others, but maybe, ever so slightly have I pushed them to be better versions of themselves, small increments at a time but nevertheless to a better them. I see myself changing to be a better leader. Although a bit late, saying that Student leader investiture is right around the corner, I hope that within this simple speech itself, I can also inspire you brooksians to step out of your comfort zone. “If you live in a bubble, eventually you will suffocate.” Moving on, I am dedicated a speech day award, I am decorated a great leader. Yet, Is it not for the people around me that made life so much more meaningful in the first place? Is not for the people around me, that I am here in the first place? Is it not for the people around me, that I try to do my best? Truly, what would I be if it wasn't for all of you, Brooksians, BB boys, friends, teachers and to all those who put faith within me. You created light and kindled the flame of passion within me, that now, in 2024, I wish to give more of to this new batch of juniors. So that they aspire to excel. Thank you!

This quote suggests that to live to our fullest potential, we should actively reflect on our past experiences. Without mindfully thinking about our past, present, or the future; we would not gain valuable insight and grow. Hence, reflecting is a key to open doors of opportunities!

Question Prompts

ang_kay_lee — 2024-03-31 04:03:24 UTC

1. Why should we reflect and how does it help us improve?

2. Share an experience in school where reflecting has helped you learned important values.

Reflecting allows us to pause; step in and step back, and learn from our experiences, whether they are successes or failures. It helps us gain understand our actions and emotions, allowing us to identify our strengths, weaknesses, and how we can do better. By understanding what went well and what didn't, we can make better choices, set new goals, and improve!

During the Malaysia trip, we were asked to answer some questions about our day at night. This was a way for us to reflect and share our experiences. Through this, I learnt the value of perseverance. This was on the day when we had to climb a natural rock wall. It was tough as it was my first time however, I pushed myself to not give up and keep going. After reflecting on this event, I realised how important it was to persevere through whatever difficulties we face. This led me to apply perseverance into whatever I do in my daily life. Therefore, reflecting helped me recognise the value of perseverance.

During the sec 3 level camp, I faced many different and new problems as it was a first time for me to go camping. One main issue that I faced was trying to deal with a sunburn for the first time, and of course, it kept making me complain. My form teacher told me that complaining about it gets me nowhere and only makes others look low of me, especially cause I’m a vice chairperson.

I dealt with it by not complaining and distracting myself from the pain. I didn’t learn anything from the experience purely, but instead learnt by reflecting on myself and asking “why did I complain?” and realised that I should persevere, allowing me to gain that value. Dealing with it takes one step, learning from it takes a second step.

An out of school experience that has taught me the importance of reflecting is attending Upper room sessions last year! A 4 week workshop that teaches you how to manage relationships and our mental health. Through this workshop I’ve learnt several new skills such as how take a step back, reflect on my thoughts and how I can regulate and identify them through art jamming and rationalising. This, although I find it hard to put into practice at times, is very helpful to me as someone who overthinks a lot and tends to spiral down rabbit holes of “what ifs”.

Reflecting on my negative thoughts helps me to ground myself and effectively communicate how I’m feeling. It has also taught me how to be resilient in the face challenges and how to snap out of my spirals of irrational thoughts. Although it isn’t easy to bounce back from our negative thoughts, the most important thing I’ve learned is to of course, practice, but as well as identify our triggers, what are we afraid of? What causes these? And rationalise if these are real and how we can prevent them in the future.

1. To me this quote highlights the values resilience and fortitude as even if we are face with setbacks we have to keep moving forward and take advantage of our past experiences and use it as a tool to aid us to success.

2. As for a time I have fallen down but rose back up.during last year sil my group and I went ice skating initially I kept falling down and needed the help of my friends to regain my balance. Eventually after many failed attempts at ice skating I started to get the hang of it with the help of my friend's guidance

1) After showing gratitude during the school holidays, how did it affect the way you life your life?

2) In the midst of your

challenging situations, how did practicing gratitude realise the positive & what did you learn about yourself?

This quote means a lot to me as it reminds me to remind others that they are not alone and that they are loved and accompanied. An example to show this is by asking someone how their day is!

During my sec 1 orientation, I thought that I would be alone and it would be difficult making friends, until I met my classmates, then my schoolmates! Meeting them had a huge impact on me because I felt less alone and accompanied. If making people feel less alone have such a positive impact, let's spread it!

1. What does this quote mean to you and how can you apply it in your life?

2. When was a time someone made you feel less alone? How did it impact you?
