Are You Value Driven
How many of us stop for a while and reflect on our own words and actions? Do we ever endeavour to know what we actually stand for, or understand what we believe ? For the majority, the day gets over even before we realise.
We are heading for a topsy -turvy world where the majority engages in the hurl - burl of modem living, with values that have reached the dregs of the society. Values, once followed unquestioned as unwritten faws, today stand twisted and compromised to suit one's needs and fancies.
Its the value that ive meaning and strength toa person's character by occupying central place in one's fe. To embellish our behaviour with good qualities and to take a definite stand against al the dreadful forces of our times we need values, Try not to become a man of success, but rather a man of values 'says Albert Einstein.
Most of us have our values ingrained in us. In the process of growing up, we are deluged with different sets of values from a variety of sources. ts essential that we evaluate our value system from time tottime. Astrong but flexible value system is what gives you the joy of feeling good. Compromising values would be degrading one's personality.
GET REALISTIC! STAND FIRWLY FORTHE VALUES YOUHOLD...
