| Using Common Sense-"Knowing the right thing
to do from home to school, to work, to life is part of being a grown

Common sense is the "shared knowledge"
that society assumes that all gets from their homes while growing
up.

public situations |
| 2. It is the ability to choose right from wrong. |
| 3. It is showing proper respect for yourself, family,
elders, educators, and others who wish to offer you assistance. |
| 4. It is understanding that society expects every able
bodied person to be decent, self-reliant, and in asset to the community
and nation to make one's family proud. |
| Maintain Your Power |
| |
The essence of a human being's power is self control.
If you do not guard it, you will easily be lead into mischief, trouble,
danger, or worse. That is like allowing someone or circumstance to
override your better judgment and assume power or control over you. |
| Knowing yourself and managing your freedom to choose
excellence and the highest good is the goal. Mature people want to
experience the best that life has to offer. |
