STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN
e all have beliefs and philosophies that we believe in. The true test of our belief comes when they are tested and we have to either stand up for what we believe in or keep quiet and accept or agree to something which goes against our belief. Our beliefs are like a tea bag - we do not know how strong they are till they are put in trying situations!

21 - Stand Up For What You Believe In
Jain Education International
Hey Rita, can I talk to you? I'm in a big mess. I don't know what to do.
What's wrong? What happened?
I have a terrible problem. I wish I could just crawl into a hole and never come out.
Come on now. It can't be that bad.
Well, I was studying for this big math test tomorrow and my friends started to complain how hard it's going to be. So they came up with a plan to cheat on the test.
You aren't planning to cheat, are you? And remember we learned that we should not cheat. Anyway, you always do well on math tests so you shouldn't be worried.
I study hard and you know how important math is to me.
Well, then why are you so upset? You can't control everyone's actions.
The boys at school want to cheat from my paper.
Oh, no! You didn't agree to that, did you?
No, but I didn't say they couldn't either.
Why not?
