A to Zen
The words of wisdom from the Dalai Lama; N- never lie, cheat or steal. Y- you are unique, nothing can replace you. At least, those are the words I find to be the most influential. They apply to anyone and everyone at all ages and stages of life. The Dalai Lama has a whole alphabet dedicated to life principles, called A to Zen of life. When you cheat you steal the truth away from someone. Trust is lost and it's hard to believe in anything. When you steal people are afraid to have you around, and that's how stereotyping starts. YOU are unique, you can make a change in yourself and others. That's how innovation happens, people have faith in themselves and what they are capable of. What a beautiful thing to know that in our free country we are irreplaceable. What's important to you? How do you apply morals to your daily life?

I love your insight into the Zen poster. I especially enjoyed your thoughts about never cheating. I think that cheating has become rampant in schools across our community. I think that cheating goes hand in hand with the competitiveness that has prevailed in our schools today. I know that I have encountered it, even among gifted students. Cheating only cheats yourself. I would rather see a student try and fail than use another student to help them succeed. Keep up the good work, Ana!
