What We Think (from Second Quarter Periodic Exams)

Only a life lived for others is worth living. -Albert Einstein 

God gave us life so we could experience how fun it is to live. But each of us is given a mission: to spread His Word. In accomplishing our mission, we experience how to love and be loved, how to cry, to smile, to laugh, to fall down, and to stand up again. In our journey, God gives us blessings to spend by sharing these to others. God blesses us so we can be a blessing to others. Other people might not realize your existence, but maybe you have made one soul breathe easier because you lived. If that happens, then you will feel that your life has a purpose. If life has a purpose, then it is worth living.
(Viviene Faye Naag, II-Acacia) 


We should not live only for ourselves but for others. A life lived just for yourself is pointless. If we live for someone, everyday you'll have a reason to smile, wake up and have the courage to face your problems. You'll have inspiration which is one of the best things in life. Why is it so hard for narcissists to live a happy life? It is because they only think of themselves and live for themselves, and do not care about the people around them. What about those who do care for others? They live a happy life because everyday, they find inspiration; they find reasons to live, not for themselves but for the people around them. 
(Reyna Paner, II-Narra) 


We can consider our life worth living if we spend it here on earth doing great and remarkable things, not for ourselves but for others. Doing great things to help others can satisfy us. Our joy is priceless. We live here on earth not just to consume the resources but to make a change in the life of others. For example, as students, we can help our classmates -- we can teach them when they do not understand the lesson. We can also be a good model to them in love, honesty, and respect.
(Candy Bulawan, II-Molave) 



It is not what we do; it is how much love we put in the doing. -Mother Teresa of Calcutta


It doesn't matter what we are doing or what job we have as long as we work hard for it and love what we do. It pays so much more than being involved in a high paying job without our mind set on it. It doesn't matter if we work as a janitor or a CEO, as long as we give our hearts on what we do. It will all be worth it. (Alyssa Zenn Ocmer)
