Ko tāku e mīharo ana, e manaaki ana hoki mō te “Whakapono” o te tamaiti, he mea mata, he tūturu, he mārama, kāore i tātaritia, ā, kāore he māminga nā te mea kua pakiaka ki tō rātou āhua pono, ā, e tūhono ana ki te “Pūtake” i haere mai ai rātou.  Pērā ki ngā kupu a Carolyn Haywood, “Ehara ngā tamariki i te harakore anake, i te pākiki, engari he tūmanako hoki, he hari, he tino hari.  Ko rātou, ko ngā mea katoa e hiahia ana ngā pakeke kia noho rātou.”  Kāore rātau i pokea i roto i tō rātou āhua tūturu, kāore i whakamā, i whakamā rānei i ngā mea, i ngā tāngata rānei e whakapono ana rātou.  E kaha ana ratou ki te mau tonu i roto i to ratou “Whakapono”.  Ko ngā tamariki, ehara i te pakeke, kāore e hiahiatia kia mahi ki te kawe i tō rātou “Whakapono” me te “Pono”.  Ina whakapono rātou ki tētahi mea, ki tētahi tangata rānei, ka mau tonu rātou ki taua whakapono tae noa ki ngā pakeke, ngā āhuatanga rānei e whakatipuria ana e ngā pakeke ki te wete i tō rātou whakapono, i te “Whakapono” rānei i tētahi mea, ka hīpae ki tō rātou ao tapu me te whakararuraru i tō rātou harakore tamarikitanga. 

Ki te uru atu tatou ki to tatou tamaiti o roto e noho ana i roto i a tatou, ahakoa tanumia hohonu i roto i to tatou wairua, ka kitea e tatou to tatou “Pono” ko to tatou kaha ki te whakawhirinaki ki to tatou mohio me te mahi i nga whiriwhiringa tika o te aha me te tangata e whai “Whakapono” ana.  “Ka kitea anō e te whakapono pakeke te whakaaro nui o te tamaiti, engari ka hōhonutia e ngā awaawa kua haere mātou” e kitea ana hei huarahi ki te tipu i tō tātou kaha ki te noho hei tangata “Whakapono”, “Pono” rānei hei āhuatanga o tō tātou āhuatanga.  Hei pakeke, ahakoa he uaua i ētahi wā ki te pupuri i tō tātau “Whakapono”, pēnei i te whakapono ki te mōhiotanga ka pahemo atu tēnei wā o te ngangau me te ngangau e pā ana ki a tātau i te ao whānui, ā, ka mahia mā te raweke a te “Wairua Nui”, me o tātau tīpuna. 

Ko te whai “Whakapono” i roto i tenei mohio ka whai mana ki to tatou katoa o te tangata.  E whakapono ana ahau kei a ia te kaha ki te hiki i tō tātau wairua e tautoko ana i tō tātau tinana, te oranga ā-hinengaro, me te kaha o te pūngao wairua.  E hiahiatia ana e tātau te kaha o te whakapono me te pono ki o tātau wheako ora.  He uaua rawa te noho “Pono” ki te tangata, ki tētahi mea rānei i te ao o tēnei rā, engari ki te whakapono noa iho tātau ki ngā āhuatanga o te mea i homai e te “Wairua Nui” ki a tātau ki te whai me te whakawhirinaki, kei te hōhonu tonu tō tātau “Whakapono” ki te wāhi e kitea ai e tātau te rangimārie e nui ake i ngā mōhiotanga katoa, ā, ka noho ngā mea katoa i roto i te tikanga tika a te Atua.  E hiahia ana ahau ki te tiritiri ki a koe he mea nui kia whai “Whakapono” koe ki te mōhio ko te ao ko te “Whānau i tētahi ao hou e hāngai ana i te aroha, te hari, te rangimārie, te aroha, me te tika”.  Kia mau ki to “Whakapono”, ka mahi!
