Malaysia: the National Day
On 31st of August every year, we as Malaysians celebrate the National Day. A lot of people enjoy celebrating the National Day. We enjoy singing the National Songs, decorating our classroom, watching the countdown concert, counting down the time to midnight and watching the parade on National Day. But when we do all those things, do we feel anything or we just celebrate National Day without understanding or feeling anything?? Don’t you at least feel proud being a Malaysian?? At least, we should APPRECIATE living here in Malaysia. There are a lot of reasons why we should.

Based on our topic, the main theme here is APPRECIATING. In general, we as human beings need to learn to appreciate things. We have to remember, the world is not perfect and we cannot get everything like what we wished for. However, we must never say there is nothing good for us in this world. Although the topic here is about appreciating Malaysia, it is important for us to tell ourselves that whoever we are, where ever we are, we must learn how to appreciate things that we have.

We have to remember that everything we have is given to us by God. We should appreciate even the smallest thing that God gave us. Having good health, a happy family, and a peaceful environment. All this things we have to appreciate because God can take it back from us anytime. We should never take for granted of anything that God has given to us. When we learn to appreciate things, we will live happier because we realize that the world is not a bad place after all.

Going back to our topic, “Appreciating Malaysia”, we will realize that how lucky we are to live here in Malaysia. Soon, we will realize that Malaysia is not a bad country after all. We are living with peace and harmony without worrying about any serious problems. We can easily get education, food, water and shelter. And not to forget the technologies that we are using which are the same or even better than other countries around the world. Hand phones,

    At time we can be ungrateful with the things we have and still want more, without coming to think we may already have what other wish to receive. Just like how we want more, we could have less. I like many others, have several things and people to be grateful for. I am thankful for having a very distinguished family, although some of us may be far in distance, we are close in heart. Siblings to love and look up to, I appreciate their moral support, advice, care and bond. My nieces and nephews who make me look like their role model, who I share my love and care with, and who make me definitely not want any children soon.…

    Malaysia ranks second in terms of Australian investment in the ASEAN countries (MITI 1993). During the 1980s both countries began to strengthen joint economic, trade and social ties. This process of bridge-building had its successes and failures. Most of the problems were caused by the meeting of two cultures with quite different historical, political and social origins. Some clashes were inevitable. The management and resolution of these conflicts has taken time, patience, sensitivity and respect from both nations (Woolcott 1991).…

    "You Don’t Know What You Have Until It’s Gone" a common proverb used to express how people often take for granted the very things that deserve our gratitude the most. I, for one, can relate to that. I grew up in Bangladesh with a huge family, nurtured with love and care. Admittedly, I was spoiled in my childhood especially by my grandparents; I was given almost anything I asked for. However, that changed significantly when my parents and I moved to the United States. All of a sudden, there was no big house where I can run around in and there was no one but my dad to fulfill my desires. My dad did fulfill most of my desires until I became comfortable with my new environment. He taught me how valuable something as abundant as water is. He taught…

    Oprah Winfrey once stated, “Be thankful for what you have and you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have you will never, ever have enough.” This quote portrays how you should appreciate what you have and you can’t have everything you want. Not only can being thankful change your attitude, it can change the person’s reaction towards what you are thankful for. It proves the acceptance towards what you are grateful for. Being thankful is a way of showing that a human being is still alive in this world. It can prove that there are not just greedy animals in this world, but there is a lot more than that. While some may believe that being thankful is not necessary, in reality, being thankful is essential because there is immense pleasure, it causes a person to develop and become the full person and it provides excellent vibrations.…

    I am determined to not only change Malaysia, but to change the world and leave it a better place than when I found it. You must be thinking “That’s impossible. The country is already in bad shape so what makes someone like her think she can change the whole world?” After all, I am only an ordinary student just like most of us here. Do you believe whatever I do would be so insignificant that it would not contribute change to the society or moreover, the world? Let me answer that question for you; No matter who I am or who you are, any one of us has the power to change lives of people anywhere around the world if we take the first step of believing in ourselves. As long as I believe what I start to contribute will bring change, it will matter. Like the founder of Apple, Steve Jobs, once said “The people who are crazy enough to believe they can change the world, are the…

    I also try to be grateful for all I have. And if I don’t have something I’m thankful that I have the opportunity to try to get it.
