What are your values?

Post Reply New Topic

Good question.

I tend to look at values as being keywords or keynumbers.

Some persons can describe their values in a short sentence such as:

God, family, and the Green Bay Packers,.

- Vince Lombardi

I tend to use a kind of theme mini-list such as:

Goal
Happiness
Harmony
Health
Love
Mission
Money
Prosperity
Success
Unity
Values
Victory
Vision

1,000,000
60,000
750

360
030
000

Project Title __________________________ to be accomplished by Definite Due Date (month/day/year)

and so on.

In terms of spiritual values, the religious science fiction story - The Pilgrim's Progress - to me is
full of basic values.

At one time, I was absorbed with the Star Trek series since its episodes often symbolically spoke to basic values followed by happy endings.

and so on.

Years ago I did read a book by Dale Carnegie which explained how many people thought and his people book did make a slight, small, and helpful change (not a cure) in a small part of my understanding of social relationships/social values in society as a whole.

Also, a book titled Nerves In Collision by Walter C. Alvarez, M.D. provided some insights into the general idea of consciousness, paying attention, concentration, focus, and memory for me.

I value the Alvarez book due to the validity of the insights contained in its pages.

As W.C. Fields, said:

A person has to believe in something. I believe I'll have another root beer.

Truth....eh not much else.

I cannot actually remember making this thread! I wonder if my values have changed.....

Well, 3 years ago is 3 years ago. I mean, if you *could* remember making this thread, I would be more impressed. (Unless one of your values is remembering all of the threads you create, then it is less impressive)

Lol! It is a sort of walk down memory lane, particularly seeing the replies from people who I dont see around here anymore...

But yes that would be a great talent, sort of like a photographic memory . Though there are a few old threads of mine that I have seen that I remember making, and I remember where I was and what I was doing. With this one I am not sure, I suspect I was at a boring temp job that day....
