I read about a speech by MP Sam Tan (Tanjong Pagar GRC) in Parliament on Monday, 25 May 2009. And I especially like what he said about teaching our children a core curriculum of values. In his family, the Tan value system consists of:
1) Honesty 诚实 (cheng shi)
2) Filial piety 孝顺 (xiao shun)
3) Sincerity 真诚 (zhen cheng)
4) Compassion 爱心 (ai xin)
5) Society above self. 贡献 (gong xian)
This system is manifested in the things that they do as a family and hopefully will stay with his children when they grow up.
This morning, while riding in the car with Dabo on our way to work, we were listening to Pastor Prince's sermon on CD. He also mentioned that the divine order should be:
1) God 神 (shen)
2) Family 家人 (jia ren)
3) Work (career wise) 事业 (shi ye)
I totally agree with these two wise men and I hope to inculcate these values in my family in particularly Immanuel.
