Personal principles that have centered my life:
Not to waste
Be honest
To be patient
Five pillars. (Fasting,donating,hajj,prayer,belief in one God)
All living things have rights 
Respect elders

-Most of these principles were taught to me from a young age whether it was school or parents. To be honest some of these principles were ignored or changed through personal experiences. For example patience. Forget it.

-Growing up I was told to respect elders and I did that for the longest until I Realized that at certain instances we need to throw age right out the window. It doesn't matter what age you are if what you say does not make sense or is ethically incorrect I will respectfully correct you until the person decides to create an invalid argument. What occurs after that is censored.

-For the most part no principles were developed on my own but to put it in better terms they were tweaked.

-The readings and discussions have made me question some of my principles but what I believe in is what makes sense to me and it becomes very difficult to change that.


-The principle that stuck on was to find truth and reconstruct from yourself. You shouldn't always put yourself first. Yes it's the human thing to do because humans are indeed selfish and we grow up being bias but if we can just consider the action of reconstruction of ones self then truth will eventually unveil itself.
