Sec 1: OMAK - The Door To Happiness (Part 1)

This week, the secondary 1 youths learned about the door to happiness, which is OMAK (Observe Merits Appreciate Kindness). The reason or motivation we want to improve or change ourselves is because we want to be happier. And while we do this, we can make others happier too. The youths watched a video of Ms Shirley and Mdm Soot Beng and they observed what were the good things that both Teachers did.

Next, we shared with them the 5 steps of OMAK. Lastly, the youths learned what is OMAK from a saying in the Lamrim — 'Instead of covering the earth with soft grass, why don't I wear a shoe?' OMAK will be their shoes. Therefore instead of expecting others to OMAK to them, they can be the person to change.

We hope that from this session the youths can see the positives in their problems and be a happier person. Stay tuned for our next session of OMAK (Part 2).
