Study the Principle of Learning: Take Responsibility

Faia le Tiutetauave

I have the power to choose, and I am responsible for my own learning.

Ua ia te a’u le mana e filifili ai, ma e nafa a’u ma lo’u lava aoaoina.

O oe o se sui; ua ia te oe le mana e galue ai mo oe lava ia. E masani lava o lo tatou faanaunauga o le faatalitali lea mo taitai, faiaoga, po o isi e tau mai ia i tatou le mea e fai. Tatou te mananao ia latou tuuina mai ia i tatou faatonuga taitasi. E finagalo le Atua ia tatou malamalama i le avea ai ma Ana fanau, ua ia i tatou le mana i totonu ia i tatou e faia ai filifiliga lelei ma agai ai i luma.

Ua Ia aoao mai o Ana fanau “e tatau i tagata ona auai ma le naunautai i se faamoemoega lelei, ma fai mea e tele i lo latou lava loto malie, ma aumai le amiotonu tele; Aua ua i totonu ia te i latou le mana, lea ua latou pule ai ia te i latou lava.” Ma e tusa ai ma le faia e tagata o mea lelei, o le a leai lava se ala o le a aveesea ai lo latou taui” (Mataupu Faavae ma Feagaiga 58:27–28).

O loo i totonu ia te oe le mana. E mafai ona e talia le tiutetauave mo lou aoaoina. Afai e ma’i le faiaoga ma e le mafai ona sau, e mafai ona e filifili e faataitai faatasi ma isi tagata aoao. Afai e te le malamalama i se mea, e mafai ona e fesili atu mo se fesoasoani. Afai e te manaomia ni manatu mo le auala e suesue lelei ai, e mafai ona e fesili atu i isi tagata aoao i lau vaega po o le a se mea e aoga mo i latou. O loo ia te oe le mana e filifili ai ma faatino. Faatasi ai ma le Atua, e te filifili ai po o le a le mea o le a e aoaoina ma avea ai.
