The 10 Indian Commandments

1. Treat the Earth and all                    6. Do what you know to be right

    that dwells therein with respect           7. Look after the well-being of

    2. Remain close to Great Spirit           mind and body

    3. Show great respect to your             8. Dedicate a share of your

     fellow beings                                      efforts to the greater good

     4. Work together for the benefit          9. Be truthful and honest at

     of all mankind                                      all times

     5. Give assistance and kindness        10. Take full responsibility for

     whenever needed                               your actions

This shows how right the native indians are. These groups of people teach their tribes to do good in their life, and as a result they go through the 10 indian commandments. This is somewhat similar to the 10 commandments from the old testament. The indians are more respectful towards each other than some of us, and it’s true. We lack the goods, sometimes, but following this is beneficial, regarding race. In fact, some of us already do these things. For example some people already, take full responsibilities of their own actions. They might lack on a few things, but to have all ten commandments and following them shows greatness. Even if it isn’t the indian commandments that people follow, the one in the old testament is similar. If any of these rules are broken, the person violates the terms. People do get consequences, for not following or breaking the rules of the commandments. It’s important to choose what’s right, because we’re living through the commandments the right way.

1. Have the courage to say no.
2. Have the courage to face the truth.
3. Do the right thing because it is right.

''These are the three magic keys to living your life with integrity."

W. Clement Stone
1902-2002

This is so true, beacuse in life we can't live with integrity without following those rules. Having the courage to say no is one thing you have to do to live life with integrity. Most young people just aren't brave enough to say no. Peer pressure is the reason why so many teens just can't say no with courage. They feel lame or uncool, but they aren't alone, because everyday so many of them face peer pressure. Those people need to have courage to say no to live life with integrity because if they don't they might go downhill. If you say no to risky activities, parties, and doing drugs, you pass the test so far. Also having the courage to face the truth is a second thing because you have to be truthful inorder to have itegrity. Lieing doesn't make you live life with integrity. Lieing is so dirty thatyou are choosing the wrong which is not okay. Lieing is so bad, instead of solving problems, it makes matters worse. However being courages to face the truth is the right thing to do, because you can get something out of it. You can get a solution by just facing the truth. Facing the truth can get you help too. Also, if you had choose the wrong, telling the truth is okay, because you learn a lesson from it. Lastly, doing the right thing because it's right is way important if you want to gain integrity. For example studying while others are partying is choosing the right because it feels like it. Sure not at the moment, but it pays off later. That's basically how integrity is earned, and I agree with Mr. Stone.
