NATIONAL ANTHEM OF SRI LANKA
Sri Lanka Matha
Apa Sri Lanka
Namo namo namo namo Matha
Sundara siri barini surandi athi sobamana Lanka
Dhanya danaya neka mal palathuru piri jaya boomiya ramya
Apa hata sapa siri setha sadana jeewanaye Matha
Piliganumana apa bakthi pooja namo namo Matha
Apa Sri Lanka, Namo namo namo namo Matha
Oba ve apa vidya, obamaya apa sathya
Oba ve apa shakthi, apa hada thula bakthi
Oba apa aloke, apage anuprane
Oba apa jeevaya ve, apa mukthiya obave
Nava jeevana demine nithina apa pubudukaran Matha
Gnana veerya wadavamina regena yanu mena jaya boomikara
Eka mawakage daru kela bavina yamu yamu we nopama
Prema vada sama behda duralala namo namo Matha
Apa Sri Lanka, namo namo namo namo Matha.

Lions Code of Ethics
-
To Show
my faith in
the worthiness of my vocation by industrious application to the end
that I may merit a reputation for quality of service.
-
To Seek
success and
to demand all fair remuneration or profit as my just due, but to
accept no profit or success at the price of my own self-respect lost
because of unfair advantage taken or because of questionable acts on
my part.
-
To Remember
that in building up my business it is not necessary to tear down
another's; to be loyal to my clients or customers and true to
myself.
-
Whenever
a doubt arises as to the right or ethics of my position or action
towards others, to resolve such doubts against myself.
-
To Hold
friendship as an end and not a means. To hold that true friendship
exists not on account of the service performed by one another, but
that true friendship demands nothing but accepts service in the
spirit in which it is given.
-
Always
to bear in mind my obligations as a citizen to my nation, my state,
and my community, as to give them my unswerving loyalty in word,
act, and deed. To give them freely of my time, labor and means.
-
To Aid
others by
giving my sympathy to those in distress, my aid to the weak, and my
substance to the needy.
-
To Be Careful
with my criticism and liberal with my praise; to build up and not
destroy
