As a pragmatist,
- I understand that I am ignorant and, therefore, fallible...
- I will assume any social problem or conflict is caused by ignorance...
- I will always keep learning to reduce my ignorance...
- I will use my knowledge to teach myself and those around me...
- I will refrain from blaming any one person or any one group of people over an issue...
- I will assume personal responsibility for my contribution to a problem...
- I will lead by example...
- I will remain open to every idea...
- I will never fully accept any idea...
- I will not take any oaths or make any promises...
- I will not accept intolerance...
- I will not allow my emotions or personal ties to cloud my judgement...
- I will only propose solutions when I believe that everyone stands to benefit...
- I will make mistakes...
- I will acknowledge when I am wrong...
- I will adjust my views as I learn...
- I will always trust myself
