Today's assembly talk on Responsibility in WORDS and DEEDS.
Today, Mrs Dhillon talked about responsibility in words and deeds.
Responsibility in words means that you have to keep your words to your family, friends and teachers etc. We should also should tell the truth and never tell lies.Responsibility in deeds can be shown to family, school and to the public. You can show responsibility in deeds to your family by doing chores . We can show responsibility in deeds to the school by not vandalising the school property and dressing properly to school everyday. We show responsibility in deeds to the public by setting a good example to be a role model.
What is graciousness?
Graciousness means that him / her has to be pleasently kind, benevolent , compassionate and courteous.Him /her also has to be characterized by good taste. We also have to listen to our peers whenever they talk to be gracious audience.
Why is it important for the society to embrace the value of graciousness?
It is important to embrace the value of graciousness for the public so that public places in Singapore will not have a bad behavior.For example, someone in a market wants to buy a fish and talks to the seller rudely and the seller will take rudely back, and everyone in the market will make a fuss over their arguement and the whole market will be VERY noisy.
Example of good acts of graciousness...

This morning I was at Marine Terrace Hawker center. After my breakfast I walked around taking in the surrounding that was my old haunt.
There was a busker. He looked hale and hearty.
I turned around and saw an elderly couple treading their way slowly. The man was in pyjamas. Both looked poor, almost destitute. They walked towards the busker. They stopped and took out $2 note from a purse. They dropped that into the busker's collection box. They looked more in need of the money than the busker, yet they gave. Then they shuffled on their way.- Peter
It was a rainy morning. I was rushing to work but unfortunately, I did not bring along an umbrella. As a result, I was stuck at the bus stop for quite a while. Then a lorry stopped in front of the bus stop. As I looked up, I saw that the vehicle was dirty and loaded with unsightly cleaning equipment such as rubbish bins and brooms. However, the driver opened the window and asked where I was heading. After I told him, he said he was also going the same way and offered to ferry me there! As I was running late, I accepted his offer with much thanks. On the way there, I chatted with him and discovered that the friendly driver was a cleaner, but he was very helpful.
When I got to my workplace, he even offered me an umbrella. I am most grateful for all his kind gestures.- Edwin Tan
