WHEN THINGS GO WRONG, AS THEY SOMETIMES WILL,
WHEN THE ROAD YOUR TRUDGING SEEMS ALL UPHILL,
WHEN THE FUNDS ARE LOW, AND THE DEBTS ARE HIGH,
AND YOU WANT TO SMILE, YET YOU GIVE A SIGH,
WHEN CARE IS PRESSING YOU DOWN A BIT,
REST IF YOU MUST, AND NEVER QUIT.

LIFE IS STRANGE WITH ITS TWISTS AND TURNS,
AS EVERYONE OF US SOMETIMES LEARNS,
AND MANY A FAILURE TURNS ABOUT,
WHEN HE MIGHT HAVE WON HAD HE STUCK IT OUT;
NEVER GIVE UP THOUGHT THE PACE SEEMS SLOW,
YOU MAY SUCCEED WITH ANOTHER BLOW.

SUCCESS IS FAILURE TURNED INSIDE OUT,
THE SILVER TINT OF THE CLOUDS OF DOUBT,
AND YOU NEVER CAN TELL HOW CLOSE YOU ARE,
IT MAY BE NEAR WHEN IT SEEMS SO FAR;
SO STICK TO THE FIGHT WHEN YOU'RE HARDEST HIT,
IT'S WHEN THINGS SEEM WORST
THAT YOU MUST NEVER QUIT.

Respect.
 
Respect means "To feel or show honor or esteem for someone or something; to consider the well being of, or to treat someone or somethin with deference or courtesy". Showing respect is a basic law of life.




a. Treat every person from the tiniest child to the oldest elder with respect at all times.




b. Special respect should be given to Elders, Parents, Teachers, and Community Leaders.




c. No person should be made to feel "put down" by you; avoid hurting other hearts as you would avoid a deadly poison.




d. Touch nothing that belongs to someone else (especially Sacred Objects) without permission, or an understanding between you.




e. Respect the privacy of every person, never intrude on a person's quiet moment or personal space.




f. Never walk between people that are conversing.




g. Never interrupt people who are conversing.




h. Speak in a soft voice, especially when you are in the presence of Elders, strangers or others to whom special respect is due.




i. Do not speak unless invited to do so at gatherings where Elders are present (except to ask what is expected of you, should you be in doubt).




j. Never speak about others in a negative way, whether they are present or not.




k. Treat the earth and all of her aspects as your mother. Show deep respect for the mineral world, the plant world, and the animal world. Do nothing to pollute our Mother, rise up with wisdom to defend her.




l. Show deep respect for the beliefs and religion of others.




m. Listen with courtesy to what others say, even if you feel that what they are saying is worthless. Listen with your heart.




n. Respect the wisdom of the people in council. Once you give an idea to a council meeting it no longer belongs to you. It belongs to the people. Respect demands that you listen intently to the ideas of others in council and that you do not insist that your idea prevail. Indeed you should freely support the ideas of others if they are true and good, even if those ideas are quite different from the ones you have contributed. The clash of ideas brings forth the Spark of Truth

Excellence & Enthusiasm
 
Its not what you are that counts, it's what you are becoming.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----

What you get by reaching your destination is not as important as what you become by it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----

There is always a vast difference between standard of living and quality of life.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----

You are Gods gift to you but what you become is your gift back to God.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----

People are not excellent because they achieve great things, people achieve great things because they are excellent.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----

The difference between mediocre & excellence is usually a very small effort.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----

Your best success will be in striving to be the best you can be & only you can do that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----

Anyone who stops learning grows old, whether its 20 or 80 and anyone who keeps learning stays young. (Henry Ford)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----

True greatness consists in being great in small things as well as big. (Charles Simmons)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. 

Ralph Waldo Emerson
