Chinese Culture!

During our regular curriculum at Lee-Ming Chinese School, in addition to language skills, we also incorporate learning some of the culture and traditions of the Chinese People. Most are simple concepts and concern the behaviour of socialising in a typical Chinese society. Many cultures, Eastern and Western, have the same or similar guidelines for the behavior of their children and each other. Can you think of any American/European sayings and expressions similar to those is the lessons below? Write them down and show your teacher!

January's session is focused on:

Personal Satisfaction  ( 知足 )

Lessons:
• No stealing, no robbery. One needs to earn money by working hard. Only then, will you remain happy.
• No matter if you are rich or poor, powerful or not, earn respect and you will always be respected.
• True happiness is found not by how much you have but by how little you worry about how much you have.
• Richness comes from both how much you give and how much you save.
• The greater the struggle, the greater the reward. The more you use, the less you keep.
