I believe people should always treat others how they want to be treated because if your mean to people they might be mean back. I think people are having a bad day be kind don't be rude and make it worse. They might even thank you for helping them feel better. If you bully someone and not expect to get bullied back you're wrong. When I was young and tiny I went to school and some kid was bullying another kid. That hurt the other kids feelings and she told her mom and that caused a lot of problems between the 2 parents so the next week the school counselor came in to our classroom and talked to us about filling up buckets instead of emptying them. That basically means to make peoples day good and be kind instead of making it worse. This i believe

I believe that you should never give up your dream and I learned this by my favorite artist.He used to play songs for people for 60 dollars and now he is making millions and he is the number 1 Mexican artist right now.And he always says to never give up on your dream if you want to do something you can do it.Always try your hardest if your going to do something to do it the best you can."No te rajes" which means to not give up and this I believe.

I believe that my religion is first and the most important thing to me. I am Christian and believe in Jesus Christ, to be my Lord and savior. The reason I believe this was based on my dad's influence on me but now that I am old enough to make my own conscious decision based on what I think is right and I think Christianity is right. The thing that makes me really believe in Jesus Christ is the fact that you have free will and aren't forced to believe in this. This had led me to strengthen my decision to stay Christian. Also my personal experiences have strengthened my faith because my hardship and problems that I've had, and when I would pray or practice my religion I was comforted and gave me strength to not give not matter what happend and to just keep going.

2025-08-29 16:46:46 UTC

I believe that is more then okay to get out of your comfort zone. It was always really hard for me because i used to hate talking out loud or just getting called out for anything.

I am still learning and getting more comfortable with getting out of my comfort zone but i have gotten way more comfortable and i have to thank all my teachers that have helped me and my classmates.

2025-08-29 16:47:20 UTC

I believe on thinking positive because it really helps with your mentality and if you say like negative stuff like in a final an example ''oh no were gonna lose they look good'' that would affect you bad you gotta think positive,some one who teaches me to think positive is my dad and my coach on soccer when I would like play on final and I would be nervous they would tell me think positive that I got it and it really helped me and since then I've been thinking positive this I believe

I believe that woman are inherently better leaders then man. But because the society we live in most people are not willing to believe that and fear woman in charge. And because of that, a woman has never gotten to prove them wrong. I know this because in Finland, witch is the happiest country in the world, in 2019 there cabinet was all majority woman. vs in America, for almost all of our history our government has been run by majority men. and we most certainly are not the happiest country in the world, or the safest. and I believe if we had a major shift in government where we were majority lead by woman instead of men, societal issues would be fixed by the long run.-Dj

2269177 — 2025-08-29 19:54:40 UTC

I believe that you should never give up on anything, It is normal to make mistakes and mess up time to time and waning to give up witch follows with anger but the more you mess up the more you learn and the more easier things seem to get, You learn to start watching how you are messing up and learning from that and push yourself to be better and the best version of yourself.

2025-08-29 19:57:14 UTC

This I believe that is you can learn from your mistakes because you can see what you did wrong and learn from that. You can have a better mindset by doing that. If you can learn to not take all your mistakes to your head you can better your mindset. If you can have a good mindset you can think better. You can also have less stress by having a good mindset. I learn this from my uncle

2149111_1 — 2025-08-29 19:57:44 UTC

I believe in learning from your mistakes. Because you can't get better, or learn right from wrong or whatever flaws in your actions without learning from past mistakes. You can't be good at everything when it's your first or second time. Knowing what to do or what to avoid or see things or do it in another way. It will be difficult for some people to get used to a new thing or even life choices. You need experience. You will feel better once you finally learn. Learning can change your point of view. I learned to learn from my past mistakes a couple years back. I would always forget to take out the trash but now I do it without being asked.

2169320_1 — 2025-08-29 19:57:57 UTC

I believe that you should treat people how you want to be treated. If you want respect, then show respect to others. Being kind and fair helps everyone feel better. Even small things, like being nice or listening, can mean a lot. No one likes being treated badly, so don’t do that to others. Everyone has bad days, so try to be understanding. If we all do this, life gets a little easier for everyone.

2164530 — 2025-08-29 19:58:09 UTC

I believe I have an open mind and I have to believe in myself. when someone is having a bad day cheer them up talk to them and be nice. we need all the niceness in the world and do better. we need to listen to the good and not the bad. focus on important stuff like school life your family and friends. u don't need to be the same as everyone in school or life you can't let anyone bring you down and let u fall and believe in yourself.

I believe that kindness goes a long way. In this world today a lot of people are judgmental and some people our filled with respect,and kindness. One time, I saw a person who was at the counter paying for her bottle of soda and 2 bags of chips . She only needed about five more dollars so I helped her and I gave her the five dollars that I had . She was really grateful and thankful that I helped her out. but kindness goes a long way in this world because in the moment I felt I finally did something good in life.

2025-08-29 20:00:53 UTC

I believe that you should know who you are and not change you or your beliefs for anyone else. Our individuality is what makes one perfect and changing that for someone else makes you lose yourself. People believe that blending in makes them fit in but if a puzzle had all the same shaped puzzle pieces, it just wouldn't be a puzzle anymore. The way the character builds is going through experiences as yourself and learning from them, what you do or don't do affects you and not anyone else. Be yourself and you'll be the best version of yourself.

I believe in understanding something. I think that video games, like shooter games, force you to be strategic to take down enemies. In COD, And capture the flag, you must flank the enemy to take the flag. and Splitgate, you need to make a portal into the enemy base and k!ll. In Minecraft, you need to make tools to survive.

2025-08-29 20:50:44 UTC

I believe that you should never judge someone, even if you know them or not. Because you will never what is really going on with them, you will never be in there shoes. There is a lot of people who judge for what you wear how you look and they will find the littlest thing about you and make you fill bad.

2025-08-29 20:50:54 UTC

I believe that hope is something that can motivate you through life , each and every person that you come across goes through battles in life and has to face hard times but no one is able to get through that without hope .

Hope is something that gives you the strength to keep pushing yourself and to keep your head up when things get hard .

and that's why I think its important to believe in hope .

One thing that is important to me is being confident this is important to me because you can make you're self esteem go higher than ever also you can use fake it till you make it.I used this method now i got more confidence than ever

2025-08-29 20:52:56 UTC

I believe people should be more welcoming to others. When meeting new people only a few take the time to get to know them or even people you haven't seen in a while. If more people did this I think we would get along better at school, work, etc. Also this helps build relationships with people so we can help each other. This is why i believe people should be more welcoming to others.

2025-08-29 20:53:19 UTC

I believe that you should wait till marriage. I think this because in the bible it says that you have to wait till you are husband and wife. It says this because it is a permanent bond throughout 2 people. I strongly believe in this because because our Lord and savior was the one who put this as an idea. You could also go through pregnancy which is wrong, before pregnancy.

I believe that you should never give up no matter what anyone tells you.People tend to give up right when they are about to cross that finish line not because they don't want to but because they are listening to their down fall. It's okay if you have given up because I had that same experience I had given up too just because of some silly thought.After failing I got back up not because I felt horrible but because I knew if I gave up now there wouldn't be another chance to get back up. My biggest mistake was listening to the downfall inside my head which had caused me to give up so easily.Since this day I've been listening to those good thoughts that bring me here today.Even tho those bad thoughts are still in my head they have gotten smaller ever since I gave up that one time.That is why I am writing this paragraph because I don't want you to give up like I did.Follow your dreams never give up no matter what happens.Even if you do give up it just makes you stronger.

2025-09-02 03:14:18 UTC

I believe that you should start taking risks.Taking risks could end up being one of your best decisions you had made. Also if you take risks it will teach you lessons like to not be scared to lose. Also by taking risks you will come out your comfort zone and you will learn new things. It will also give you more opportunities for success on whatever you want, it will be like an investment. And it could make you discover new things about yourself. And you should never be scared to take risks even if it goes wrong just try again or try something new. Some of the most successful people started by taking risks.

Life is a chance to learn and grow in every experience, even the most difficult ones.

It is the occasion to love, forgive and share with those around us.

Every day represents a new possibility to start over and correct mistakes.

It is a gift to discover our purpose and leave a mark on the world.

Life is, in itself, the most valuable opportunity we have to be happy.

Life is short, never forget to ask God for the wisdom to live it.

2025-09-02 05:57:22 UTC

I believe that if you never give up you will gain success. I believe this because 7 years ago my dad bought me my first skateboard. And over the years skateboarding has shown me that you should never give up if you want something. I learned this from having to get up over and over again from each fail and fall so I can land what I want.

2025-09-02 16:35:06 UTC

I believe that being coachable is very important because if you want to play sports, you cant think that only one coach is right about something. Being coachable doesn't only apply to sports it could be about school, work, or even at home. You have to be able to hear out everyone's advice because some people you don't know or aren't very close to might have some good or wise things to say. I learned to be coachable from my father, he showed me that through wrestling.

I believe that you should always put god first no matter what situation your in because I was taught when I was little by my parents and other family members and Ive always believed in God since I was little which makes me believe we should always put god first. By Jorge rivas

2025-09-02 16:38:52 UTC

I believe that the world is yours.What i mean by this is that is your one world if you want to do something go and do it.I learned this from my brother and i think it has a grate mining this has help me in not being shy and to go explore new things in life because this is my one world and this is what i believe in.

2230175_3 — 2025-09-02 16:39:14 UTC

I believe that never its late to try something new because that was me a two years ago back.Always scared to try something new, scared if I do something bad people will talk about me. But after a time I believed on myself that when I try something new, I'm learning something I didn't know. So after that I star trying new things,because its never late to do something new. That its never late to learn something new.

2188394 — 2025-09-02 16:39:56 UTC

I believe that you need to be respectful to yourself and others you also need to respect your elders my parents taught me that and if you are respectful you will go very far in life and also it just feels good to do a good deed and be very respectful to others and also you would want to respect others because you want to treat them how you would want to be treated and you should always respect your elders because they are older than you and they know more than you so I think you should just always be respectful because you would want to be respected.

2174772 — 2025-09-02 16:43:30 UTC

The life experience that has most shaped my core beliefs and values was moving to a new country when i was a child leaving behind everything familiar friends extended family and my home was incredibly difficult but it taught me resilience and adaptability i learned how important it is to stay open minded and embrace different cultures languages and perspectives this experience helped me value diversity and the importance of inclusion in every part of life.

2025-09-02 19:57:09 UTC

We should take hard situations as lesson's. Don't give up and become better versions of ourselves. Sometimes life can put us in a hard situation where someone who we love with our whole hurt did us wrong, sometimes you loose someone or face a situation you were not ready to go through. God does it for a reason after facing through something, God has better plans for us.

I learned this by going through many situations where I would give my everything to friendships and a relationship but after all I went through. I just let it happen and wished them the best. I took it as a lesson to know what to do if I have to face something similar and how to start valuing myself. I started being a better version of myself and getting closer to God.

2164530 — 2025-09-02 19:57:15 UTC

I believe that you should never judge anyone by their looks or style. I used to judge but now I learned from it and It made me a bigger person and never make fun of anyone or anything and you can build from all that and make friends that u would love to hang out with. If anyone is having a bad day then cheer them up talk to them and make them happy. We need kindness in the world and you can do It. Don't be kind to just others be kind to yourself.

2025-09-02 19:59:07 UTC

I believe this quote, in case I don't see you, 'Good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.' My cousin told me this quote, and it has stuck with me for a while, so I cherish all small wins and moments. And you should too, and just because you are having a bad day doesn't mean you can rain on other people's parade.- Marcus M.

2175950 — 2025-09-02 20:46:18 UTC

I believe that traveling is a must do in life even when you don't go to other states. I think that learning new things about the world and meeting new people is imprtant because i think its stupid to just stay home all day and not learn anything when you can explore the whole world. -jayry

2025-09-02 20:48:53 UTC

i believe that God made the world. I learned this from my family we go to church every Sunday when I used to go to Sunday school I learned about the 10 commandments. if I follow these commandments I will go to heaven. these are rules to follow to have a good life.

2025-09-02 20:54:14 UTC

One thing I believe is to be kind.

Someone who taught me this is my parents.

I believe this because I saw my mom to be kind to a homeless person.

I try to be kind by listening to my friends.

2025-09-02 21:01:00 UTC

I believe we and the government should follow our 10 Amendment rights to keep us and the government safe, like the 5th amendment right to keep you out of trouble if you did something that can incriminate you and its important to follow them because they protect individual liberties like freedom of speech, religion, and the right to a fair trial

i believe video games aren't as bad as people say they are. they don't ruin the minds of children. the only way it could is if is from a very young age. like brainrot its bad and ruins the brains of children. but games are a huge part of humanity they show how we have evolved and are able to build and make things never thought possible.

2025-09-04 00:58:46 UTC

I believe that treating people the way you want to be treated is the best thing you can do. I believe this because if you don't respect someone they might not respect you back but if you respect them they will respect you back. I learned this from my parents when they told me to treat people good. It's always the best thing to do when you meet people.

2025-09-04 02:04:32 UTC

Panda Express told me a sentence and it says " don't forget to say" I love you.", And that just tells me that no matter what, every time after a phone call or a hangout always say "I love you", Because you never know when it would be the last time you see the person, and talk to the person so always cherish those moments you have with the person. Because all I could ever ask for is to see him one more time and tell him " I love you and I need you." And that's for a friend of mine that sadly passed away. I think you should never end a conversation with someone when you guys are mad at each other because you don't know what can happen the next second. But that always stays in my head and I will always carry that little phrase with me wherever I go.

Being yourself is important for happiness.

Everyone is unique and special.

Even if we sometimes feel different, it's this difference that makes us special.

You shouldn't be afraid of being different, and it's important to listen to your heart.

I learned to be myself by sharing my ideas without fear of what others think.

True friends accept us as we are.

Being yourself is the key to happiness and believing in your dreams.

2025-09-05 20:50:47 UTC

I believe that being loyal to anyone and everyone is important because it's not only a thing that you do, it's a feeling, and when other people can see that you're loyal to them, they will be too; they will start to have your back and stick by you no matter what you go through. Being loyal means showing faithfulness, dependability, dedication to the relationship, reliable behavior, support, being your genuine self, and acting trustworthy. I think everyone should take it seriously because if you break that loyalty to someone, they won't trust you anymore, and that leads to them not being able to trust others.

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ ³¹The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself." Mark 12:30-31

I believe Being kind means to me is helping others when they get stuck and not being judge mental.Being kind can help both the giver and receiver.I realized this when I was new to a school and the students would go to me and introduce themselves and make a warm welcome. scientifically speaking''When people are kind, it increases serotonin and dopamine, which are neurotransmitters in the brain, according to Mayo Health Clinic. They “give you feelings of satisfaction and well-being and cause the pleasure/reward centers in your brain to light up.” Being kind can help boost mental and physical health due to a confidence boost.

Growing up my dad has played a powerful role as he was the only parental figure in my life. He fought to raise me and my sisters even with times getting rough. Not too long ago he forced me to get out and finally show up to a summer basketball practice. At the moment, I was angry but I now know that is was worth it as it helped me develop a stronger connection with teammates and make one with new coaches. It showed me perseverance is key and that I can push myself further than I believe I am able to.

2145940 — 2025-10-17 16:43:08 UTC

I believe staying true to you and not letting anyone change your opinion on things, no matter what they tell always be yourself, no matter what. And I also believe staying true to your family and your friends, but no matter what, I will always choose my family. I also believe in always respecting others and treating others the way you want to be treated. Respect others even if they don't respect you. Who inspired my beliefs is my mom and dad, they made me the way I am today.
