Here are another trio that went against all odds; but this time- Girl Power.

CALL THIS A SCHOOL PROJECT!

This shall be the 3-in-1. And the real last ones.

THE FIELD



THE TRANSFORMER



THE STORY



Need I clarify the what happen when the field met the transformer and being blended into a story? Impossible? It's possible; It's Adidas.

CHRONOLOGY OF POSSIBILITY

'Some people listen to themselves rather than listening to what others are saying; these people dont come along very often. But when they do, they remind us that once you set out in a path even those critics may doubt you ; its okay to believe that there is no cant, wont or impossible. They remind us that it's okay to believe impossible is nothing'-Muhammad Ali

WHAT IS A SCHOOL?

'School is defined as an institution that promises the innocent, joy- loving, naive and most likely ignorant people an education which is pre-planned, edited, censored and possibly as an advertisement of designated history in order to be right, dignified, memorizer, will-not-question-you labour people according the Law of Normal People that requires us to be who everyone thinks we should be without considering the possibility that we could be better.'- Author

Folks, well this is the new SEGi KD whose definition is a blend of romanization and white house effect that promote walkways for an evening stroll and a dose of open swimming pool, complemented with squash courts and gyms; before further elevated with theatre-inspired lecture hall and hotel-aspired lobby; all begun after the open day ended with a crowd of celebs and fireworks at 10.00pm- midnight; of course....duh!

WORLD OF WONDERS

In spite of the fact
We complain and lament,
And view this old world
With much discontent

Deploring conditions
And grumbling because
There's so much injustice
And so many flaws

It's a wonderful world

And it's people like you
Who make it that way
By the things that they do.

For a warm, ready smile,
Or a kind, thoughtful deed,
Or a hand outstretched
In an hour of need

Can change our whole outlook
And make the world bright,
Where a minute before,
Just nothing seemed right

It's a wonderful world

And it always will be,
If we keep our eyes open
And focused to see

The wonderful things
Man is capable of
When he opens his heart
To God and His love

OBSTACLE

"Obstacles are challenges for winners and excuses for losers"- quoted.

In ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been.

The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many others never understand.

Lesson To be Learned:

Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one's condition.

CLOUDS

How I love to watch the clouds
Peacefully, peacefully drifting by
Silently upon the breeze
They ease across the clear blue sky.

How they build and roll and tumble
Just like angels out to play
Dancing with the sylphs and fairies
Head o'er heels along the way.

Each new shape is quite amusing:
Puffs to great majestic towers
Building for their loving gift
To bless the earth with vital showers.

HOUSE OF A THOUSAND MIRRORS

Long ago in a small, far away village, there was place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He lookedthrough the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To hisgreat surprise, he found himself staring at 1000other happy little dogs with their tails waggingjust as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, andwas answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often."

In this same village, another little dog, who wasnot quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs andhung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and washorrified to see 1000 little dogs growling backat him. As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again."

All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kindof reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet?

WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND?

His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog.
There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.
The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.
"I want to repay you," said the nobleman. "You saved my son's life." "No, I can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish farmer replied, waving off the offer.
At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family hovel. "Is that your son?" the nobleman asked.
"Yes," the farmer replied proudly.
"I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my son will enjoy. If the lad is anything like his father, he'll no doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of.
And that he did.
Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time, he graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming,the discoverer of Penicillin.
Years afterward, the same nobleman's son who was saved from the bog was stricken with pneumonia. What saved his life this time? Penicillin.
The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill. His son's name? Sir Winston Churchill.
Someone once said: What goes around comes around. Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching.

IF


If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

OF PERSPECTIVE AND PERCEPTION

One day a father and his rich family took his young son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing him how poor people can be. They spent a day and a night in the farm of a very poor family. When they returned from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?""Very good, Dad!""Did you see how poor some people are?" the father asked."Yeah!""And what did you learn?"

The son answered: "I saw that we have a dog at home, and they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden, while they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lamps in the garden, and they have the stars. Our patio reaches to the front yard, they have a whole horizon. "When the little boy finished, his father was speechless. His son added, "Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are!

"Isn't it true that it all depends on the way you look at things? If you have love, friends, family, health, good humor and a positive attitude toward life, you;ve got everything! You can't buy any of these things. You can have all the material possessions you can imagine, provisions for the future, etc., but if you are poor of spirit, you have nothing!
IT ALL DEPENDS ON HOW YOU LOOK AT THINGS
