Teach To Inspire, Inspire To Teach

I happened to pick up this publication "Teach To Inspire, Inspire To Teach", a collection of personal testimonies by winners and finalists of President's Award for Teachers 2008.

I was surprised and encouraged to find the mentor teacher who guided me during my practicum (teaching practice period) being shortlisted.

Trainee teachers with our beloved (very wise, and very beautiful) mentor Mdm Tay

Thank you Mdm Tay for inspiring me! :)

Little Foxes

King Solomon, the wisest king that ever lived, once wrote:

"Catch for us the foxes,
the little foxes
that ruin the vineyards,
our vineyards that are in bloom."

Are there "little foxes" in your life?
Small indiscretions?
Minor character flaws?
Some unhealthy habits?

Isnt it time to catch them?
