Eight Great Reasons to Tell the Truth

Barbara  A. Lewis

1. Telling the truth lets everyone know what really happened. There’s less chance of misunderstanding, confusion, or conflict
2. Telling the truth protects innocent people from being blamed or punished
3. Telling the truth allows everyone to learn from what happened
4. You usually get into less trouble for telling the truth other than lying (and getting caught).
5. Other people trust you more when you tell the truth.
6. You don’t have to tell( and remember) more lies to keep your story straight.
7. You gain a reputation for being truthful- a trait most people value.
8. Telling the truth helps you to feel secure and peaceful inside.

It is important to tell the truth because it is the right thing to do, and it is a good value to follow. It is important to tell the truth even if it gets you in trouble because this shows that you are willing to be honest no matter what the consequences are. This, will earn you credibility and help others see you as an honest person. It is important that others see you this way because it is what most people value in a person. For people to have any sort of relationship, there needs to be trust. If you have no trust in a relationship, then it cannot move forward, so it will probably crash and burn. For us to function in society we need to have relationships, so essentially telling the truth is what earns a significant amount of this success in social interactions.

yoga therapist

Yoga Therapist

Duties and Responsibilities:The number one job of a yoga therapist is to keep their clients healthy, flexible and safe. They must ensure that all the poses are executed correctly and without injury, which requires close attention to the abilities of their clients and concise instruction. Every student needs a yoga mat, and sometimes the instructor many need to provide mats that have been sanitized for their clients' use. Integrative yoga stresses a personalized practice tailored to the individual's needs, so therapists must recognize the abilities of clients.

Salary: Integrative yoga instructors fall into the category of fitness trainers and aerobics instructors. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) in 2013, the average annual salary for workers in this category was $39,410. The BLS also projected that fitness trainers and aerobics instructors would see a 13% increase in job growth from 2012 to 2022, which is an average pace.

Education:Thousands of schools offer yoga therapist training programs, but specific integrative yoga therapist training has only a few options around the country. A 200-hour basic certification program allows a graduate to teach yoga in many group settings as a therapist. A professional certification takes 500 hours, but this allows therapists to open a private practice.

During these hours of classes a trainee will learn about individualized teaching, experiential approaches to education, taking yoga outside the classrooms, and health and wellness, the psychology and philosophy of yoga and workouts that revolve around students. Some yoga instructors choose to focus on one specific goal of a yoga class such as yoga for back pain, depression, or seniors. Many schools offer programs that are tailored to certain needs and give the graduate a certification with a focus. With a specified certification, an instructor has the ability to serve an exclusive clientele with a very clear goal in mind.

“The most important thing you will ever have is good values.”- Dennis prager

I agree with this quote by Dennis Prager. An individual should always have good values no matter what. Values are the set of rules we go by in our lives. It is important because our personalities will greatly depend on the quality of our values. Values are things that signify the core aspects of our self. Values will help you recover a clearer sense of what's most essential to you in life. Our values are important because they help us to grow and develop. They help us to create the future we want to experience. Without values in our lives we will not have a civilized society and we will lose all sense of meaning in our life- the two can’t be separated unless we lead a corrupt life with no sense of meaning. Good values are what make up our character and contribute to our daily lives.

“The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity(self-worth), integrity, and self-esteem.”- Dr. Laura Schlessinger

This statement means that you earn more than physical rewards for doing the right things. You improve yourself as a person and that right there is the most outstanding reward one can receive. When you do the right thing you will feel good your self-esteem, integrity, dignity and self-respect will always be high and for the same reason you will always be high and for the same reason you will feel that you done the right. The reward that someone can received for choosing the right won’t always be something of financial value, but it is assured that it will always be something of immense spiritual value. When doing right a feeling of respect and satisfaction will come someone's own person, and this is the greatest reward because it is the best way to live an incredible life.

"You knew what I was when you picked me up"

What this means is that when you see something for example a beer you might think one drink can’t hurt. Then you start drinking a lot knowing you have to drive home and not thinking of the consequences. You get in your car and start driving home, you’re swerving left and right and boom there you get in a car crash. You knew that one drink of beer wouldn’t hurt but you didn’t realize how addicting it is and get you drunk. Know that what you see can be harmful to you if you don't think about and can lead to horrible things. the video as we saw of the snake. It was acting fake and needed help so the guy first said no but then he decided to help it and then bit hm. The snake lied to him about not hurting.So before you see or do something bad think of the consequences and choose the right.

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.”- Theodore Roosevelt

 I agree with this quote by Theodore Roosevelt because decisions are not easy. But in order to make the best one possible, then you need to CTR. CTR is not just a motto it is a way of life. If you always CTR you will be taken care of. However if you CTW you will make all of the wrong decisions. CTR will always lead you down the path of success and a happy heart. CTW will lead you down the path of failure and regret. If you CTR you will never have to worry about making the wrong decisions. Once you start choosing the right, you can never go wrong.

Student Success Statement

"Nothing is ever gained in doing what's wrong."- Wilford Woodruff 

When someone does wrong they get nothing. I cannot say how true that is. When you don't do your homework and you tell your teacher that you lost it or forgot it you are doing nothing in favor of yourself. Your teacher will not receive any harm from you not doing your homework contrary you will be the one being harmed because homework will benefit you and shape you to be educated and when you don't do your homework you are cheating yourself from good. Why would anyone choose to do bad and waste their life away when so much could have been achieved if they had remained on the right track they are not doing well but have no one to blame but themselves.

Well life as we know it is hard enough knowing you can't anything you want unless you work for because i mean come on nothing is free in this world.

This is an excellent quote by Pam Knox. What this quote means is that one of the greatest moments is when someone has the courage to do the right thing at the right time. There isn’t anything else better that that. It will feel good knowing you did the right thing. You will feel like a really good person, and that is the best feeling in the world. For example if someone is getting blamed for something they didn't do and you step up and say the truth. If you wouldn't of have said it that person would have been accused of something he/she did not do. You will feel great and that person will thank you. You always have to do what is right. Have the courage to do what is right 24/7.

Student Success Statement

"I have been asked what I mean by 'word of honor.' I will tell you: place me behind prison walls-- walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground-- there is a possibility that in some way or another I might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of that circle No, never! I'd die first." - Karl G. Maeser

This is a very nice quote. To be able to keep your ‘word of honor’ is really great. I believe that ‘word of honor’ means promise. We have done another same quote like this. Where we must keep our promises. Not keeping our promises makes us a bad and not a loyal person. Karl is showing us that he is a man who can keep promises. Even if it means for him to be stuck in a circle for the rest of his life. That’s a good man, and us people should learn from this man. ‘Word of honor’ is something we should be respectful of and pass it on.
