A Creed

I found this creed posted on a residence hall bulletin board at Brigham Young University in 1981. I liked it so much that I put it in my notebooks to periodically ponder in all the subsequent terms of my attendance at the university. I encourage you, too, to use it or craft a better one for yourself (if you could):

I will do more than belong. I will participate
I will do more than care. I will help.
I will do more than believe. I will practice.
I will do more than be fair. I will be kind.
I will do more than forgive. I will forget.
I will do more than dream. I will work.
I will do more than teach. I will inspire.
I will do more than earn. I will enrich.
I will do more than give. I will serve.
I will do more than live. I will grow.
I will do more than be friendly. I will be a friend.
I will do more than be a citizen. I will be a patriot.
