The Ten Indian Commandments

1. Treat the Earth and all that dwell therein with respect

2. Remain close to the Great Spirit

3. Show great respect for 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 reason why these ten commandments are not to give us salvation but to lead us on the right path towards God. They are in place to divulge the true identity of people. Those who follow these commandments are good people. Those who choose not to follow them are by default bad people. We do not choose who is right and who is wrong, we just have the rules to guide us through the right path. We must be honest with ourselves and our fellow man. We must show our true nature whether it be good or bad. We must strengthen our will and the goodness in our hearts. If your true nature is to be good then continue following these commandments. If your true nature is bad then you must change and learn to follow these ten indian commandments. If you can incorporate these ten commandments into your life, for example volunteering, helping others and yourself be better, then you are a good person. If you can’t then you must or else you will not be able to be a good person. If you do you will be rewarded with true prosperity, your life will be full of joy and happiness. If you do not then you will not be able to have those things. So remember always do the right thing never choose the wrong.

“A promise must never be broken”

I agree with this statement by Alexander Hamilton, the president on the ten dollar bill, this quote says that you can never break your word. I believe this to be true, one can never break their word. For example if you say you're going to a friends house to study and you will be home at 4:30 but you don't go until 6:30, then you broke your word. If you do not keep your word then it will mean nothing . It sometimes is hard to keep a promise but when you know you cannot complete the promise then you must say that. You cannot say something you do not mean. A promise is a promise and your word. When you promise someone something then they are relying on you to complete the task you said you would do. If you fail to keep your promise then not only did you lie to your friend but it is most likely that you broke the bond you two had between each other. You gave your word yet you did not do what you promised you would. If you lie then no one will know when you tell the truth. You will no longer be trustworthy and for that reason you will not be liked. The only way to avoid all that from happening is simple, just keep your word. If you keep the promises you make then no one will have a doubt in their minds about you. That is why it is always important to remember a promise must never be broken.

“Goodness is the only investment that never fails”

What Henry David Thoreau was saying in this quote is  the best investment you can do for yourself is to become better by putting goodness in your heart. If your doing good than you will never have to worrying about anything else you may have done. If you are doing good then you don’t have to worry about getting caught doing something wrong. You would never have to be feeling sorry for yourself or being self conscious about doing something bad. Investing all your time in doing good is the only thing that will never backfire on you. If you invest it other things they can fail, goodness will never fail. This is only true if you invest yourself in goodness. You shouldn’t do it only because it will never fail but because it is something good that you’ll never regret doing. By doing good, none of your privileges get taken away, on the other hand you will gain more respect and more responsibilities. This means you will have more freedom than you previously had. Goodness is the only investment that will never fail you.

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

This quote is by Mr. Hesburgh is telling us the real reason you should make your decisions based upon. We must not make decisions for someone else. We cannot make decision because others do the same thing. You must think deeply and think about what you are doing and how that action will affect someone other than yourself. You must not be selfish you must only be good. If you and your friend go to a party and your friend tells you, “ look everyone is drinking I’m going to too let’s go.” You must think before you go, you need to make your own decisions. Just because everyone is doing it doesn’t mean it is the right thing to do you must think what is right. You must do good and the only way you do good is by doing the right thing. Not choosing the wrong and always choosing the right.

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

This quote emphasizes on what we must do as individuals in order to better the world we live in. We should try and make everything that is good popular while make everything that is bad unpopular. For example, in a school we should not try to popularize people who bully others and popularize people with good academics. We must use our influences to start a trend of good that will help our community better itself. If everything that was popular was good and everything that is unpopular is bad then our society would strive and become better. It is our duty to improve upon ourselves and the only way we can do that is by doing good.

Spring Break

My spring break this year was not that memorable, I did not travel, or meet any new people, I didn’t even go out to see a new movie. Even if it was a “break” it didn’t really feel like a good break or a long enough break. I guess this was because I was working mostly everyday, waking up at 7 and working until 3 or 4, the days felt pretty long, but oddly the vacation didn’t feel long at all. Well when I wasn’t working I was either helping around my house: cleaning, organizing, excetera, or doing the homework I was assigned. I did have a little free time though which was fun I was able to visit my friends house and hang out for a little. All in all it was a good break from school even though we were still assigned homework to finish, even when we’re not in school we still got work to do. That is life never ending work till the end. There is good that comes out of working though. When you work hard you earn a lot. Those earnings the more you have the better life you can have. Of course money is not everything you also have to make the right decisions .

“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.” 

I agree with the statement the sixteenth president of the united states, Abraham Lincoln, said. He is saying that he will not always win even if he tries his best but he will always be honest and truthful and never cheat to win. He also,then, says that he will stand with everyone who believes the same thing he does. He will help anyone who is doing right but once they begin to do wrong he will not help that person anymore. An example of this is if you were to be hanging out with your friend who always chooses the right but he is stressed about a test they and he starts choosing the wrong by cheating. Right then you cannot be friends with him anymore because he is not choosing the right and you cannot help someone who makes wrong decisions willingly. You must be strong willed and never give up you can never be tempted to do wrong because the only thing you truly are bound to is to be true.

I do not think I will become an optometrist simply because I do not find it that interesting. Yes, some may disagree and want to pursue this career but I do not think this is right for me.

“Character is higher than intellect.”

This quote tells you what is more important than the knowledge you posses. Character is very important to have it doesn't matter if you are not the brightest but if you have character you will strive. If you truly have character it will show in the work you produce. If you are a responsible person you will strive to get the intellect you deserve. Having character is more important because it shows you posses good qualities. Such as loyalty, honesty , respectfulness, and responsibility. Intellect will not give you all those qualities only your character will. To make the right decisions in life you must have character. If you have character you will always choose the right thing to do.  For example if you have character you might be chosen out of a group and be recruited into a basketball team or whatever sport you may play. If the whole team is talented some maybe even more than you but they don't have character they will not be chosen. If the coach sees you're talented and have good character then no one will compare to you.

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

This quote tells you a lot. It gives you hope and faith that in the long run you will get your reward. People it is important to never give up on your dreams. It may seem too hard and it may be really hard but you must never give up on your dreams. Some days it may be too hard for you to handle and you don’t think you can do it, but you can. You must have faith and never give up in what you believe. Even if at that moment it doesn’t seem to be a good idea. If you want to join a team in the future then as of right now you have to work hard and practice hard. You have to do all that you can and you must trust in yourself. You must believe that all that hard work you put into it will pay off and you will get that reward. You will make it into the team you want if you work hard. That is the only way you can do it you must work for it there are no shortcuts you can take. If you don’t work hard and try your best and you just cheat then you will get no reward. You did not do any hard work because you cheated and cheating is not the right thing to do. You must work hard and be the best that you can be by always choosing the right. This will lead you down the right path, the ctr path.
