Pass The Test
Life is a test and the points on that test are earned by how much attention you give to improving yourself and helping others. When your test is graded, to what will you attribute your success: study, hard work, personality, talent, skill, opportunity, connections, patronage or luck? No amount of material success earned and kept will be awarded credit. The greater your blessings, the greater your obligation to share your good fortune.
Use your special talents to serve the common good. Let your actions be motivated by a commitment to charity and justice. Be compassionate, kind and considerate. Free yourself from your attachment to things. The Action Principles are your ideals. Right now is the time to consider your blessings. Start scoring points.

Honor used to dictate behavior. Today it seems that lying, cheating and stealing only matter if you get caught.

An educational system that places more emphasis on standardized testing than actual knowledge (MCAS, FCAT)creates the environment that fosters cheaters.

Horrifying statistics regarding cheating. I can honestly say that I never cheated in school (elementary, high school, or college). How can these people feel good about themselves?!
