Mr Browne's first precept is "When given the choice between being right, or being kind, choose kind." - Dr. Wayne Dyer
You need to write a paragraph explaining what this precept means to you. Good luck!
Remember, precepts are rules about really important things. They are a saying, or ground rule that can motivate you.

Mr.Browne. That Precept goes deeper than most people think. That certain precept, ( i think) means to be the one who draws the line. To say whats right, or to be the one to think ho YOU would feel. If it means being right, but possibly hurting someone, then, we all know the answer. We be kind, because, inside, you never know what they go through. Be the one to realize that, and maybe you'll get the precept then.....

I agree with Farah I believe that I have many precepts like My family that's a big one. Or my school I go to Grandview Elementary Connersville, IN. A Very special one I learned from August is no matter what you look like you will be special great amazing and might even turn out popular. And I have something to say to Julian, if you ever say anything like that to August LIKE that AGAIN I will hunt you down because you in the movie were very mean you made August CRY!That must have made you feel like a JERK.

i agree with Farah... but i would like to add this. Yesterday i had to use a powerful quote for my presentation in school which relates to bullying and guess what, i chose this quote. This quote relates to bullying as u need not only be right to help someone who is bullied or was bullied. But u should be kind as to be kind is to accept for who the person is and help them. I really love this quote, if u all agree reply to this comment

I think that this means you should always choose to be kind because if you choose to be right you could hurt peoples feelings for example: So you are at a restaurant and the food is not that great and the waiter asks you " Did you like the food?" and you dont know what to say "No." even if it is the truth it would hurt the waiters feelings so you would say " Yes it was very good." and that would be being kind, and you would not hurt the waiters feelings...so thats what I think.

I think this means that someyone should be kind rather than being a bully or someyone mean. Also like when some keeps some comment in their heart or somewere. For example if youre mum or someyone make something instead of making a negative comment to keep it in and say something nice or not something negative. So you should think if its kind or if its mean or nice.

I think this precept is a amazing one because someone would like you to be nice than right because right means mean. For example you made a cookie would you like for someone to say oh it's nice or this is horrible did you make this with barf. That's why this is a great precdpt

I think it means that when sombody is doing something that's not right to you and it bugs you you shouldn't be right by screaming at them but instead you should be kind by being strong and let it happen so you don't hurt that persons feelings and I have a connection to this. Once my aunt from Iran who lived in america came here and made this very very bad Iranian dishand it was so bad I wanted to throw up but I had to pretend to like it so it dosen't hurt her feelings and it really backfired because she thought I liked it so much she put twice as more food and after that I was really upset with her.

I think it means that when your in a situation and some one ask's you a question you should always pick the nice option instead of mean. For example if someone came into school with a pair of f50 adizero and they asked "hey you like my new shoes" then you could ethier say oh I love those shoes or you could say there horrible I would never buy those. So always say the kind option!!!!

I think this is a really good precept and I relate it to: When I am with my sister and she is buying clothes, she always asks me if I like it, before buying. Sometimes I don´t like it, but insted of being right I decide to be kind and tell her that I like it.

I think it means, if you chose right you could hurt some ones feelings, but if you chose kind you will make them happy. EXAMPLE: I have a friend who's not very bright, and the person tries to be like other people, and one day people were writing cool little messages like i have swag or something like that, and that person made one i didn't understand but when he asked me if i liked it i chose kind. And he didn't feel left out after that.

I think being Right kind of means being mean or something like that and Kind means to be nice. FOR EXAMPLE: When the bill comes your parents are always fighting about who is going to pay the bill so if you pay thats being nice and if you LET them pay its kind of selfish.

(I think) It means like: well when me and my family go to a big party or to the mall, my mom always asks if i like wht she is wearing and what makeup she has on, sometimes i dont like it but i usually say i LOVE it, because my mom relies on me to chose the things she should wear, because she is asking me by my opinion.

Ok people now let the pro talk people I think this means like a person gives you a gift on your birthday but you asked them to give you a iPod touch but the person says no you are to small for it but you keep on asking then the person finally says yes so on the kids birthday he gives him a book but then the boy says ok thank you. You gave me a good gift so the boy choose to be kind instead of being right . Because If he would be right then they would have started up a whole argument.

This precept is a usual thing that happens in the real one, and a kind one. The precept means when you know your right, and someone is wrong, you do the right thing and be kind. Example: If you have really old, torn, dirty, cheap, street bought football shoes, and wear them to activities the kind thing to do is saying there good, but you know its not that good.

This relates to me because my mum and neighbour always tells me to count ten before i speak.So when you speak you speak nice positive words and always choose right.Also when someone celebrates a day that you are not used to just be nice and go out of your confert zone and celebrate whith them.
