Defining our values gives us purpose. When you don’t know or you haven’t clearly defined your values, you end up drifting along in life. Instead of basing your decisions on an internal compass, you make choices based on circumstances and social pressures. If you stay true to what you believe in, then controversial decisions are that much easier to make. These are the five core values which are most important to me.
Respect- Everyone, from every walk of life deserves respect. You do not have to like them, but you should respect them. Every human being deserves respect. You never know when a hobo may be an undercover billionaire.
Honesty- Honesty is very important in communication. If you cannot believe what someone tells you then there is no trust and everyone is it in for their own gain. Without honesty, there are no bonds between people.
Trust- Trust is very important in any close relationship. It builds bonds between people and takes a lot of stress away. But once trust is broken, you can never get it back.
Innovation- I am always trying to find new, more efficient ways of going things. Innovation led to advances in medicine and technology. We would not be as far as we are today if people just remained satisfied.
Initiative- Doing things without being asked saves time and helps make our world a better place. Initiative also impresses authority figures.
