Reflection: These commandments by the Native Americans send a message out to us that we should be better people. The commandments express the true qualities every human being should have towards others and there home. For example we should be honest and true to each other as the human race. Respecting the earth's natural nourishment like the clean air and natural beauties that come to us each and everyday. 

"Goodness is the only investment that never fails." 

-Henry David Theodore 

   This means that if you invest in being good and choosing to do the right things in life you will never fail. If you choose to make good decisions to help others as well as yourself you will never fail. For example if you invest yourself to do goodness to the environment like planting a tree you are investing for a better future. Another example is that if you invest in a better future for you and your family by starting with love. 

“My basic principle is that you don’t make decisions because they are easy; you don’t make them because they are cheap; you don’t make them because they they’re popular; you make them because they’re right.” - Theodore Hesburgh (former President of Notre Dame)

This means that you we all have to make decisions that are to make everything right and do the right thing in our lives. There are no other reasons or excuses to make a decision that is popular nor easy. For example if you need to turn in an assignment the next day and you just copy and paste to make it seen as if you finished an outstanding assignment in just a matter of seconds. Another example of this is that you may make a bad decision just because it’s a trend or it’s something that everyone is doing like smoking. This can lead to bad decisions as well.
