The 10 Indian Commandments

The 10 Indian Commandments

1. Treat the Earth and all dwells therein with respect
2. Remain close to the Great Spirit
3. Show great respect to your fellow beings
4. Work together for the benefit of all mankind
5. Give assistance and kindness wherever needed
6. Do what you know to be right
7. Look after the well-being of mind and body
8. Dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater good
9. Be truthful and honest at all times

  10. Take full responsibility for your actions

The 10 Indian commandments has powerful sayings that can open a person's mind. Like commandment number 6. It tells you to always “do what you know to be right”, meaning that you should know what you're going to do, so that you won’t have to face any consequences just because you chose the wrong. Another commandment that stood out to me was number 10 because not everyone take full responsibility for their actions. For example you decide to rob a store with your partner and they caught you, so when they ask you what happen you blame it all on your partner and make up lies that weren’t even true so that you can get away with it. All the commandments have a purpose and they teach you a valuable point on what you should do. But overall you should be able to choose the right.

     

A Promise

“A promise must never be broken.”- Alexander Hamilton

What this quote means is that you should always keep your promises when you say them because if you don’t there can be consequences. It’s important to keep your promises because it can build up your character meaning that people will be able to count on you and trust you. An example of this quote would be that your best friend tells you a secret she never shared before and she tells you “promise that you will never say anything” and you agree.  But the next day you tell everyone so now they are making fun of her and she’s crying. But when you try to talk to her she doesn’t want to see you or be around you anymore. You already made a bad decision because you broke your promise about not saying anything. Another example would be that you are starting a new job and they want you in at 9:00 am and you promise that you will be there. But the next day when you wake up it's already 9:30. This means that you’re already late and the promise is already broken. You should have checked your alarm before you went to sleep. Keeping promises may be hard to do but if you break the they can lead you to lose things like, your friends, jobs, trust and many more.

Goodness

“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.”- Henry David Thoreau

What this quote is trying to tell us is that goodness will never fail you. If you decide to do something bad one day then the next day there will be another chance for you to do good and choose the right. Doing good will always be an open door for you to enter. An example of this quote would be that you are at the store shopping and you see that someone drop their money, what should you do? Keep it or return it back.

Student Success Statement

“My basic principle is that you don’t make decisions because they are easy; you don’t make them because they are cheap; you don’t make them because they’re popular; you make them because they’re right.”                                                                                   

                                                                               - Theodore Hesburgh

What this quote is trying to tell us is that we need to make decisions wisely because they are important in life. We need to be serious when it comes to making decisions because if we don’t we can have big problems. We make decisions because they are the right thing to do even if it's hard for you believe them but their real. An example of this quote would be you’re at a party and your friends invite you to drink with them. But you know it's not the right thing but then again you will be cool like them. So you’re stuck making a decision that can affect your life or maybe not. I suggest you to not accept the drink because you will be protecting your body and because it’s the right choice. Making decisions can be hard to make but we need to know what is going to be best for us and for others around us. Don’t go the wrong path because you made a bad decision but go to the right path because you chose the right.

Sound & Good

“It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and unpopular that which is unsound”

(not good) - Joseph Smith

What this quote is trying to tell us is that we should focus on being a CTR person because it will make it sound and look good. Our priority right now is to have an education and always make sure that we are good people choosing the right. If everyone know that choosing the right is a good thing then the next thing you know it will be a great influence to the younger ones. But if you choose the wrong then you will be going the wrong path and our goal here is to try to avoid all the bad. An example would be you’re a senior and you're trying to get into a good university. If you show them what you’re capable of I’m sure that they will accept you.

Spring Break

Spring Break

    During my spring break I did and went to many places. One of the places I went to was Disneyland and it was a great experience once again because I’m always having fun when I go there. The only thing that bugged me was that it was hot during the day but toward the evening it was chilly so it was much better. My family and I left like around 10:30 in the night. I really loved it because I was spending it with my family. Another thing we did was that I went to visit my aunties and cousins in Santa Ana and we stayed there for two days. During those two days we went for a hike and shopping at the mall. Then after that we came back home and relaxed. My mom had the idea to go to the movies theater later on so we did, it was only me and her. She wanted to watch the movie Beauty and the Beast, even if I already watched it I didn’t mind to watch it again. I also got to read one of my favorite book that I purchased recently and it's called 13 reasons why and I’m almost done with it but I still about three more chapter. The great thing about spring break was that I didn’t have any homework or projects so I got to spent it well with no worries. Then came easter day and we spent well and as a family as well. We got to hide eggs for the little ones and eat barbeque. We also played a round of basketball and we won so I was happy.

Be True

“I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.”- Abraham Lincoln

What this quote means is that you should choose the right all the way just like Abraham did, he didn’t care so much about winning but about being honest with himself and everyone else that was with him. Another thing is that he said that he would stand with anybody that was right meaning if they are people who choose the right have have great integrity. The ones he will stand by will also stand by him when he needs them because he did them a favor as well/ but he won’t do it for those who choose the wrong because they have no value and dignity. An example of this quote would be you have a basketball game on Sunday but one of your teammates didn’t come and you decide to cheat by bringing someone else. That’s already making you a person of no value. But if you do the opposite which is play a fair game then maybe you even have a chance of winning because you're doing it with your honesty.

CTR Project

Character

“Character is higher than intellect”- Ralph Waldo Emerson

I think that this quote is trying to tell us that character has more power than you intellect. People won’t focus if you have good grades or if you have great talent but they will check if you know how to be kind, respectful, honest and many more. I believe that character matters more because you're showing the world that you do mean something and it doesn’t always have to involve your intelligence. An example of this quote would be you’re a basketball player with good grades (straight A’s). But when you’re at home you always decide to help around the house. This tells me that you have good character in yourself even when you have school to attend and being a basketball player. Having character also involves you to choose the right because both are similar to each other. They both involve having integrity, being honest, showing respect to others and much more. Use both your intelligence and character to be a CTR person.

Tyler Haws

“I trust that my hard work will pay off.”- Tyler Haws

What this quote is trying to tell us is that every time we decide to achieve a goal and we work very hard on it then it will come true and at the end of the day you're going to tell yourself it was all worth it. You need to work hard when you want something to happen. For example you want to go to the best university there is like Harvard University. In order for that to happen you will need to work two times harder than you usually do like get straight A’s, be open minded, be honest with everything and let everyone see your potential. You can also keep a life planning journal where you can write down all goal you have in mind and know that if you work hard it will come true. For instance I want to go to travel to three places that really fascinated me and those are London, New York, and  Ohio. I wrote those down and I’m working hard on them to achieve them and make it happen. All the hard work I do I believe that I can achieve and I’m determine for anything that comes my way.
