It is not the things that happen to us
that determine the quality of our life,
it is our attitude toward the things that happen.

We can not control what other people say and do,
we can only control ourselves.
Therefore, we must concentrate on knowing ourselves,
who we are, what our abilities are,
and what we want to do with our life.

We must have our dreams and the courage to pursue them,
while respecting the right of others to do the same.

Understanding
is as important to them,
As mine is to me



Compassion
For all the pain and suffering
That comes with being human



Tolerance
Of that which they choose to believe
And the way they choose to live



And the Freedom
To know their own life
And to discover and develop their own abilities
