Bak Mei Creed

[brody]

I posted this on another forum, but got no respose. Perhaps someone here can answer my question.

I found this Bak Mei Creed on Sifu David Garcia's website and was
wondering if all lineages of Bak Mei share the same or something similar.

"PAK MEI CREED"
FIRST YOU MUST RESPECT YOUR ANCESTORS, NEXT YOU MUST RESPECT YOUR TEACHERS, THEN YOU MUST RESPECT YOUR MARTIAL ARTS.
YOU MUST LEARN KINDNESS, THEN YOU MUST LEARN LOYALTY. ONLY THEN SHOULD YOU BE CONCERNED WITH LEARNING KUNG FU. AFTER YOU HAVE LEARNED KUNG FU AND YOU LEARNED CONTROL YOU BECOME A POWERFUL PERSON. STAY ON THE RIGHT PATH, DO NOT PICK ON OTHERS, DO NOT TEACH THOSE WHO ARE NOT GOOD AND LOYAL NO MATTER HOW MUCH THEY OFFER TO PAY, EVEN IF THEY ARE FAMILY. AFTER YOU HAVE LEARNED THE USE OF EMPTY HANDS AND STICK THERE IS A GREAT VALUE WITHIN YOU. ANYTHING YOU COME IN CONTACT WITH WILL REFLECT THAT VALUE, EVEN A STONE.

This is close enough. The original format is a sonnet of 10 lines.
