a story of integrity

"Should I or should I not",I was wondering if I should take the wallet found on the chair.

I picked the wallet up, opened it and to my surprise,a few thousand dollars worth of notes fell onto to the ground.As i picked it up with amazement, my mind starts to drift away. i thought : "With that money, I could buy an Xbox,a Playstation, some computer games.......That's a lot of money! I think I should take it.But, what if the owner could not find it? He would be very sad to lost so much money. Should I take the wallet?"

At last I decided not to take the wallet and I put the wallet back to the original place.

integrity

One of the TK values is Integrity,and on this post,I will elaborate more on what integrity is allabout.
To me,integrity is very important virtue in life as it teaches us right from wrong.Integrity is one of the most important virtues a person should
have.
Integrity is also attributed to various parts or aspects of a person's life. Acting with integrity on some particularly important occasion will always be explained in terms of broader features of a person's character and life. A person is subject to many conflicting desires. If one simply acted at each moment out of the strongest current desire, then one clearly acts without integrity.
Persons of integrity do not just act consistently with their
endorsements, they stand for something.

charity

Charity is actually the noble act of giving when you wish to help others for their gains and not yours.
Charity is a virtue that we should develop as it brings out our character and shows our upbringing as a person as well.One should not think that charity is all about you giving either.You will feel good with yourself for carrying out a good deed, having a sense of accomplishment.
If you think that there was no benefits for you then think of it from another perspective.Just imagine if you were the one out there needing the money urgently and hoping everyday that people might donate more money to you for your personal needs.
People like that might not even be able to afford their wants but do not think of them as pitiful because money is not everything either.
Happiness is what that counts and if you can lead a happy life, that is good enough for you.
So make the best out of things and always look on the bright side of life.To be able to really carry out charity in your life should really be considered an asset in life and treasure it as it is something many people would want but also something money just can't buy.

ability to succeed

I believe that all tanjong katong pupils have the ability to succeed as all we have to do is to put in effort and everything can be made possible for us.An example of a great man who had this value is Leonardo Da Vinci.Do not only think about the Da Vinci Code when the name Leonardo Da Vinci comes to your mind.It is really about his ability to succeed and the wonders he could do in his time.You can learn more about this great man by researching information about him.The texts about him are not boring but interesting and gives you the urge to learn more about him.He succeeded in many things and was a brilliant man who is not only a painter but also a scientist and a great inventor.
He had a keen eye and quick mind that led him to make important scientific discoveries, yet he never published his ideas.
He was a gentle vegetarian who loved animals and despised war, yet he worked as a military engineer to invent advanced and deadly weapons.
He was one of the greatest painters of the Italian Renaissance, yet he left only a handful of completed paintings.
He is also someone that we can look up to as an example in our lives. so please do not think that the ability to succeed is something that you are born with. So just keep trying and finally you will get it.As the saying goes 'practice makes perfect' .Do not be afraid to step out and stand out among others.The ability to succeed can be expressed through leadership skills and much more.
