Hello Sci-fians
Whenever you see a successful person or or a Distinct person, just know that these sets of people have some core values and principles that they strictly adhere to,
In short if you don't actually stand for something, you fall for anything.
I have come to realize that my core values are the compass that guides me through life's challenges and experiences, it can also be likened as a light shining through my dark path, that is giving me a sense of direction. These values are not just abstract principles; they are like the DNA that structures my acts.
*Here are some of My Top Core Values
One of the most important core value that really shaped me is Authenticity: (Realness, Originality etc).
Authenticity is a value I learnt from when I was small from my parents,
All thanks to them I never go about without being myself regardless of the pressure wether from peers or society.
One thing I know is that Being true to myself is really important
When I love you, I love you for real and I show it in a way that even you will know that truly this person loves me, and when it is the other way round you will definitely know too.
Being Real helps me stay grounded, responsible and build meaningful relationships.
Another Great Value I have is Empathy and Compassion
My Faith and Religion as a Christian make these beautiful Values shine forth in my life.
Jesus was a compassionate and Empathetic person, He is my rolle model.
Many times I learnt from his compassionate nature, for example he was still compassionate and loving to us, even when he is being injured, whipped and Nailed to the cross, he was still praying to God to Have mercy on those that were persecuting him.
There was a time He showed compassion and mercy on a prostitute who was brought to him by the Pharisees and saducess just to test him and make him fall into a trap, but with divine words and Wisdom, the woman was saved.
Resilience:
The Nigerian Spirit of never giving up and my strong head, won't allow me to give up😂
Like one of my teacher will tell me, challenges and problems are what make you wiser and better.
As Humans problems will always come, face them and grow.
Integrity: integrity is another core value I really work with, being honest, transparent, and accountability in all ways of my life.
Although this has put me in trouble many times. It is very difficult to be be Truthful in a very Dishonest world.
All these values are not just important, they are practical guides that help me go through life's complexities.
The Reality is that Living by my core values isn't always easy. There are times when I'm tempted to compromise on my values or take shortcuts especially in some difficult situations, but I usually persist to follow my faith and Values.
