The 10 Indian commandments

1. Treat Earth and all that 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. Looks 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.

I  believe these are really good commandments. I can relate to most, but not all. These commandments are very important. I say that because the 10 Indian commandments can help one become a better person. The commandments I can relate to the most is commandment number 6,  9, and 10. (Do what you know to be right, Take full responsibility for your actions and Be truthful and honest at all times.) I say this because when you are a CTR person you must do all of these the most. You must try to always be honest and truthful also always choose the right. Who ever came up with these commandments must be very proud because they are really good, and useful. If one follows these, they will be sure to become a better person or remain one. These commandments relate to being a CTR person because when you choose to follow them, you are doing what's right in all the ways possible and that's what being a CTR person id about. The commandment I liked the most was number 4 because when you allow others to help you do something better it is good. You'll find new things you had never before and you will enjoy them.

“Greatness is the only investment that never fails.”

Henry David Thoreau

To begin with I agree with Henry’s quote. I say this because doing what's good can never go wrong. Any time you choose the right no bad outcome will come from it. An example is you see someone getting robbed. Later you find the robber and you think “should I report him or not.” The right thing to do is report him. Why? Because if you see him and let him slip, he will continue doing what he did over and over again. Now if you report him you’re actually helping him, they  can change for the better and you're helping others around you stay safe. When you choose to do right, and you know it's right never second guess yourself because doing what's right is right. Doing something that doesn't have goodness in it is not correct. Choosing to be a CTR person will never fail one unlike CTW. When someone chooses to do right they are helping lots of people and preventing lots of other things. If you choose something that you think is right, But it fails, then it really wasn’t right and one must learn from their mistakes. Good doesn't fail, bad does. 😆😁😃

“My basic principles isn't 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

(Former President of Notre Dame)

I believe this quote by Theodore is right. One must always choose to make the right decision because it correct. When making a decision one must not look into it and see whether it's cool, or not. They must just look and see then think “is this the right choice." One should not do things to fit in but to stand out. Choosing the right isn't always easy or cheap or popular but what always matters is that it is right. An example is cheating on a test to look smart. To your teachers you may look super smart but that is not right, to cheat and look smart, and receive a good grade. Rather try your hardest and study and do something correctly and honestly because that will pay off. You'll get the help you need and in the future you'll know it all, unlike if you cheat. Your teachers will assume you go the lesson and you'll never learn. A lot of people do things to look cool or look right. When in reality they are doing things wrong and hurting themself. Choosing right from wrong will come with many obstacles and things, but if you do right in the end it will pay off.

“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)

By: Joseph Smith

This quote to me means that we are responsible for doing what's right. We are the only ones who can choose whether we live a CTR or a CTW life. We have the choice to make the right things known and the bad unknown. It is important to do so because the next generations will always look up to the older ones. An example is say there is two teens and 2 adults. One teen looks up to adult #1 who has a good education, a profession, and is living a good life. The other teen looks up to adult #2 who has no job, parties, does not attend school. It is likely for the teens to end up the same to the person is they look up to. This is important because as role models we should always try our best to promote what's right because there is younger kids out there who look up to everything we do without even knowing it. One bad choice impacts a lot of people not only yourself. Doing what's right will always be the “popular” thing to do. It's what's right. By doing what's right you teach others to follow you and then they teach others to do so as well. It's a never ending cycle.

Spring break was super fun! This year I got to do so many fun things with family and friends. The main show I watched all week was “Keeping Up With The Kardashians”. On Monday, I stayed home and just enjoyed the first day of spring break sitting and watching Netflix, a show that is very popular at the moment “13 Reasons Why”. On Tuesday, I hung out with my cousins at one of there house and we ordered pizza then went to the movies. On Wednesday, I went to the park with my friend Marco and we hung out for a while.Then we went to buy ice cream and stuff. On Thursday, I stayed at home and helped with my sister's homework and my mom clean the house. Friday, my family and I went to the beach and had a family barbecue along with other family members because it was my dad's birthday. On saturday I went to an event for a program called C5LA. Lastly, Easter Sunday we had another family get together we ate food and then my older cousins and I hid the eggs for the little ones. Also on Easter Sunday we went to church and I helped pass the money baskets around the room. It was nice to have a break from school and have fun with family and friends. I also slept in a lot because I slept late.

“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

I agree with his quote. Abraham Lincoln’s quote is right because it's true. When someone is right it's okay to follow. This quote to me means that doing what's right will never go wrong and doing what's wrong will never be right. When you choose to be CTR you will be doing yourself a favor not anyone else. An example of this is cheating on a test to get a perfect score. Everyone makes mistakes and it's said that we learn from them. When you cheat to get a perfect score you are following to be a CTW person. Now say you didn't get a perfect score, that's okay because you are being truthful and you are following what is right. One should follow those who are bound to do right and have character. If they ever switch up and turn bad, one must be bound to leave them and start a path of there own. Following those who are wrong, will make you look the worst. This quote is very important. Choosing the right and having a great character will always benefit, than cheating and choosing the wrong.

“Character is higher than intellect.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I believe this quote is right. Intellect comes from having good character. The most important thing is character because being a CTR person will always open up doors etc. Now if you don't have good character doors will not open because you are CTW. good character is linked to being a CTR person. When you have good character you always make the right choices for yourself and think about what the outcome of your choices will be. That is what CTR is all about. An example of character being higher than intellect is that say there is two people applying to the same job. The first person in very high in knowledge but lacks in character. They are sometimes rude to customers and other times are dis-honest.  Now person two isn't so high in knowledge ( at normal level) but does have amazing character. Always giving respect, helping others and goes beyond to do so. Who will get the job? Person 2. Why? Because they always try their best no matter what and there good character pushes them to be better everyday unlike person one. Having good character will always be at high power because good character pushes one to be the very best that they can every day. Good character eventually makes a very high achieving person who is always CTR.
