 What’s New
What do you feel today, that you are studying your lesson by your own .No teacher
to teach this lesson, no classmates and friends to collaborate and most of all no
allowance from your parents.

Today and in the days to come is totally different from the usual classroom
set up you were used to. We cannot have face to face sessions unlike before. You
don’t have a chance to immediately ask questions because your teacher for the
meantime is this module. Thus, you really need more patience in dealing with
this.You have to read carefully in order to understand the topic.

Try to look at this picture. make a short story and write it in your notebook
or in an intermediate pad.

Have you experienced the situation of the people in the pictures? When? How did
you handle it? Your experiences may have caused you several thoughts and
feelings that triggered your behavior. This brought you to a realization that life is
full of ups and downs.
“Life is full of ups and downs, twists and turns, love and loss. And life would not
be worth experiencing if it weren't just that. You can't have the good without the bad,
you need to somehow learn to accept the bad and adjust it in a way that you can
endure and overcome.We cannot control the ups and downs in our life, thus the only
things we can control are our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. If we can manage
those, we can achieve our goals and gain success in life.

Read “ The Two Wolves” , an old Cherokee Indian’s story .Find out how you can
relate in this fable and how this article can help you in discussing the topic in this
module.

The Story of The Two Wolves

(Lifted From Personal Development)
One evening, an old Cherokee told his grandson about the battle that goes
inside people. He said “my son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.”

“It is terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil- he is anger, envy
,sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority and ego.” He
continued, “ The other is good, he is joy, peace ,love, serenity, humility, kindness,
benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith, The same fight is
going on inside you-and inside every other person, too.

The grandson thought about it for a minute and asked his grandfather,

” Which wolf will win?”

The old Cherokee simply replied “ The one you feed”.

Read the questions ,write the answers in your notebook.

1. What is the story all about?
2. Who are the characters in the fable?
3. Compare the two characters.
4. Which of the two do you want to be like? Why?
5. Do you agree with grandfather’s belief that “ the same fight is going on
inside you and inside every other person’? Explain your answer or give
examples.
6. Explain the meaning of the following :
● “the battle is between two wolves inside us all.”
● The same fight is going on inside you-and inside every other person, too.
● “ The one you feed”.

What is It

Knowing which wolf to feed is the first step towards recognizing you
have control over your own self. Have you ever had thoughts, feelings and
acted in ways that were unacceptable to yourself but felt powerless to control?
The story of the two wolves help you find ways to manage your mind so that
you can live your life more in accordance with what your own judgment says
is best for you.

As we grow up, we gradually become aware of the many things in the

external world which are largely beyond our ability to control, like people in
general and most events in our life. But a more sad realization is that there

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE

 are sometimes, many things in ourselves that we seem powerless to control.
Some of these are our own thoughts, feelings and actions which unfortunately
can be the source of much distress. But are we indeed really powerless to
control our own thoughts, feelings and actions ? The grandfather’s answer”
The one you feed” is deceivingly simple. Having made a choice “You” can
decide specifically how to “feed” or nurture the selected wolf.

It is helpful to keep track of our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors,

especially if we are feeling down and want to feel happier. If we can pause and
identify our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, we might learn important
information that could help us move forward. I will give you a situation where
you can evaluate your own thoughts, feelings and behavior.

“ My Girlfriend/ Boyfriend Left Me”

So if I were keeping track of my thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, I

might write down the following:

● Time: Saturday night

● Thought: I’m alone. I’m out of step with my friends.
● Feeling: Sadness
● Behavior: Isolating. Not calling friends. Not picking up the phone.

But you can have an option to your behavior, you can ask somebody to
talk to, you can pray silently to ask for strength, you can write a poem
or a song or any other positive things that will keep you busy or divert
your feelings.

If you feel that you are like the negative wolf in the story , write down
your feelings, thoughts and your behavior. Try to do this once in the
morning, once in the afternoon, and once in the evening. Ask yourself ; “did I
learn anything about myself”? What thoughts and behaviors are associated with
each of your feelings.

Now that you’re done studying the topic, you are now prepared to answer the
activities that will help you understand more what you have learned.

A. Write the negative and the positive characteristics of the wolf. Write them
in the table

Every Life Counts

(Hank Valencia & CM Rosal)

Chorus (Hank):
Every life counts here. We ain’t got nothing to fear
Somehow it’s sheer

Verse I (Hank):
Ladies and gents
Open your eyes
Someone just died seeking help yelling “Mama” not just once, but twice
Day after day
Protests all the way
Whimpering, groaning and crying ‘til dying that made us dismay
Supervision corrupted
Noises at dawn
Don’t matter you judge ‘em,
‘cause we still accept them inside our lawn
Ghosts in the town
People go roam
We ain’t playing games, this is real life, he just wanted to go back home

Refrain (Hank):
Hurts like hell Can’t really tell
But my heart speaks itself Love exists
When someone dies It’s time to speak yourself
(Repeat Chorus 2x)

Verse II (CM):
Superman, where are you at? This is injustice
I don’t wanna turn the TV off, kids watch this
Let’s stop play pretending this sh*t exist on a daily basis
Keep the comfort of your bed ‘cause ignorance is bliss

He was black so they pretend they don’t see him, uh

Same sh*t happened with the kid called Kian, uh
He was a kid in school, he was a human being
He was the vulnerable and it’s the open season

From the three-star land to overseas

We’re all screaming pretty please, pretty please
It was very obvious in the camera, very scary like the military
Shot dead, warshocked officer, the family said

10

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE

 He was my son, know he’ll never see the sun
The last thing he saw was a flash of gun Like a pig on a cage
All this time we’ll remember all their name
But this time it ain’t gonna be the same

For the comfort of my safety I just need to dial three

But who do you call when they’re the ones on killing spree
Officer, I did nothing, let me free
Officer, I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe, no

Momma come and help me

This was never my choice
It was only me versus some four boys
This is the reality as much as you wanna avoid
Repeat after me:
His name was George Floyd
Yeah

Final Chorus (Hank):

Every life counts here We ain’t nothing to fear
Somehow it’s sheer Please save me (save me)
Please save me I just wanna be alive again
Every life counts here Someday it’ll be so clear

● What is the song all about?

Our experiences may affect our thoughts, feelings and behavior. These thoughts,
feelings and behaviors trigger our corresponding action. Our corresponding actions
are the results of how we were nurtured or molded to apply or put to action the values
we learned at home, in church and in school.

We’re often not aware of the impact our feelings and behaviors have on each other,
and because of this relationship, changing our behaviors can have a very big effect
on our feelings or emotions https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/depression-young-
people/0/steps/36858. Thought, feelings and behavior are all connected and influence
one another. For example, if we are feeling sad or depressed, we might have thoughts
like we aren’t worth much of anything, and we might do behaviors like stay in bed
all day. On the other hand, if we are feeling happy or excited, we might have thoughts
like the future is bright, and we might do behaviors like call a friend or go see a
movie.

When a situation arises, and we have thoughts about the facts of that situation;
those thoughts trigger feelings, and based on those feelings we engage
in behaviors which in turn impact the situation (either positively or negatively), and
the cycle continues.

In the case of Hank Valencia and CM Rosal when they watched the video of George
Floyd and Kian maybe , they thought that there was racism or injustice, they felt
sad / mad about it, they expressed their feelings through song. But to the others in
whom they knew these two, they thought that there was a bias , so they felt very
angry that caused them to have a protest and eventually led to a riot. To my relatives
in America they thought the same , they felt the same as what American do but they
did it in an opposite way, the whole family prayed to God sincerely. They talked to
God and lifted all to Him. Everyone has a right of expressing his/her own opinion
and doing his/her own action. We only need to understand and respect each other's
rights, But everyone should be guided that in every right, has a corresponding
responsibility or responsibilities.

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE

 We too have an option of what will be our action in a certain situation, no matter
how bad the circumstances are there is always an alternative to be good . Choose to
be good at all times if not, just stay calm, silent , and pray unceasingly. There is no
harm in trying these.

What is It
