E-learning Assignment.

1. What do you hold most dear in life such that you would strive to protect and defend in times of threat or crisis?
I would definitely choose to protect and defend my family in times of threat or crisis without thinking. Simply because of this saying which goes, "Blood is thicker than water." My family is the reason why I am still living in this world. They are willing to work extra hard just to satisfy my needs and wants and also to give me a better life. They are the reason why I am in school rather than in the streets begging for money. They are the people who pack my parachute and give me education for my future. They are the ones who give me shelter during the rain. Even if I need to sacrifice my life just to save them, I am willing to. They are the ones who cheered me to stand on my feet after falling off my bicycle. They are the ones who are always with me when I am unhappy or sad. They would spend time to think of ways to make me smile or laugh. Despite giving them countless of disappointment, my family is always forgiving and they will still trust me. They are the ones who always support me on doing what I feel is right. They are the ones that taught me how to different-shape what is right and wrong. They are the ones who experience hardship and pain with me throughout the 14 years I lived with them. They are the ones who took leave from their job to take care of me when I am ill, even though they know they might get sacked by their superior during the recession. But I am not protecting and defending my family just because of these reasons I told you. I am protecting and defending them because they are the ones I love and dear most.
2. For the above question, state three different aspects and include in your responses, why you think these specific aspects are important to you.
The three different aspects that are important to me is my Family, Friends and finally, my Country.
Family is important to me because they are willing to give me hundred percent support in whatever I do. They taught us life-long lessons that will be useful to us in the future. They did so much things, that we cannot repay them back in any way, even money. My friends because they are the people who I can trust in the business world. There is a chinese saying which goes, " At home, we can rely on our parents. Out in the business world, we can only rely on our friends." I think this phrase is very meaningful as it is true. We cannot trust or tell a secret to an outsider, a person you do not know. I would trust my friends rather than someone I just knew. Friends are people who spend hardship and difficult times together with you, so after all those experiences, there will be a bond between my friends and myself, which make me trust them. Country because Singapore is one of the safest country in the world. It is not because it is small, so it is the safest. It is because everyone in Singapore played a part to be vigilant , to make Singapore a better place. If there is a war in Singapore, I would of course serve my country in protecting it. I will do my best to kill as many enemies before I die. I will do my country proud!
