Values

When people think of values they think morality, but values are not the same as morality, morality is regarded as right and wrong good and bad. Values are disciplines that one learns through living life. So when someone asks you what values will you pass on? Think about the disciplines passed to you and the ones you learned. Through the life lessons passed on to myself along with what I have experienced so far if I was asked the question “what values would you pass on to your children?” I would respond. The only values I would pass on to my children are the ones I can follow my self, hence the saying goes “lead by example”. Values passed on to your kids can be easily disregarded if the parent(s) do not uphold its discipline. A women tells her son to always be polite to people, but then he sees here talking down to a cashier at the super market for no reason at all. Father tells his son to spend his money wisely, however the kid’s father wastes his money on items they don’t need just because they were on sale. The values I would pass to my children will be simple yet sturdy. Starting with respect, always have respect for others, and have respect for yourself especially; respect your self before you respect others. When I say respect it means have a caring attitude towards others and not to appease people. Secondly always strive to be a cut above the rest, Fortify yourself educate your mind be intellectual learn all you can and then learn some more have a sharp mind. Learning is not limited to attending school; it is very much possible to achieve a high level education with out school.

Another value I would give is always be ever vigilant never be raw to the world and the people you encounter in it. Watch out for those looking to use and manipulate you. It can be very subtle and one won’t notice it until you’re in a different mind set. So always look back now and then to get everything in prospective.

There are many values to pass on some that are still in thought and others I probably have yet to learn myself. Values aren’t just learned though words they will constantly have to be reinforced throughout life and sometimes one might question himself on values upholded and at times they will be tested.
