And So This Is Christmas; And What Have We Done?
Another Year Over; A New One Just Begun;
And So Happy Christmas; I Hope You Have Fun;
The Near And The Dear Ones; The Old And The Young
-『ジョン・レノン John Lennon』
海よりも雄大な光景がある。それは天だ
天よりも雄大な光景がある。それは心の内側だ
There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky;
there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul
The primary task of a useful teacher is to teach his students to recognize ‘inconvenient’ facts – I mean facts that are inconvenient for their party opinions.
良い先生の重要な仕事は「不都合な」事実を生徒に教えることだ。事実は彼らの政党にとって不都合なものなのです。
Please bloom where God has placed you.
Rather than give up, make the best of your life and bloom like a flower.
To bloom is to live happily.
Let your joy make others happy.
Your smile is contagious.
When you are happy and show it by your smile
Others will know it and are happy too.
God has planted you in a special place.
If you know it share it with others, your personality will shine.
It is that "shine" which we call "Bloom"
When I bloom in the place
where God has placed me
My life becomes a beautiful flower
in the garden of life.
Bloom where God has planted you
(Reinhold Niebuhr)
Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
