Lesson 3: How can we become better people?

Sikhs are supposed to be the best people. What

should we do to be the best Sikhs and human beings?

1. First of all, we should speak in a sweet voice. We should

not yell at our parents, brothers, sisters, teachers, or

friends.

2. Secondly, we should be truthful. Even when we make

mistakes, we should be truthful and accept our mistakes.

Sometimes we worry that if we tell the truth, we will get in

trouble. Someone will yell at us. Even if the teachers or

parents may be upset with you for a little bit, it is still a

good idea to tell the truth. They will appreciate you for

telling the truth and they will trust you more in future.

3. We should also learn to be creative. Doing art is a fun way

to spend time and make something new. Making new things

with hands makes us happy and smart. You can make others

happy by giving them gifts you make.

4. Additionally, we should be helpful to others. We can help

mother and father at home in the kitchen. We can help in

setting the table for dinner. We can put the dishes in the

sink. We can help broom the floor and so much more.

5. We should learn to be peace-builders. If there is an

argument between our brothers-sisters or mom and dad, we

can try to calm them down. We can tell them to not yell at
