Virtues Of My Life: Order, Courage, Patience

live with purpose and meaning." Order is something that directs in our
everyday lives, a working condition we cannot live without. Without order there

or regulations, with other countries that do, but the findings nevertheless
reflect the need for change. Our education system at this time is regulated by
states which implement their own curriculum, set their own goals and have their

The Kondo (Golden Hall), one of the oldest buildings in the world dating back to 670, is of the Tang style, but it also had Greek influence as seen in the entasis of the wooden columns (Tansey, Kleiner 534).
