Wisdom
vs. foolishness
"seeing and responding to life situations
from a perspective that transcends my
current circumstances"

Therefore I will:
listen to my parents and teachers
learn from correction
choose my friends carefully
remember there are consequences to my actions
ask myself, "What is the right thing to do?"
