Values makes one to stand out in a competitive world by giving him/her a distinguished factor. For example, one could adopt this oath as a distinguishing factor:
" I will not say what I will not do. I will not promise what I will not deliver".
Quite often people say things that they themselves have never done and cannot do. We tend to make ourselves appear well organized while yet, we know that things are so chaiptic in our private lives. Have you ever felt like that and wondered how you can get out of that life? Email me at farazcreationz25@gmail.com for a free online coaching on Values.
Talent and Values
Your talent can get you to the top, but it is your character/ values that will keep you there. Talent can build you a house, but your character gives permanent residence as it will teach you how to take care of the house and make it a home.
The difference between Elexandra and Sandton City is not just money that people have: but the materials that people use to build their houses and roads. In Alexandra and other small towns and informal sattlements, they may use a lot of zinc , unprocessed wood and plastic. In Sandton they used stone, cement, concrete and bricks. The material they used to build their houses determine the value of what they build and how long it last. Hence moral values l, which we adopt and use to build our lives determine how we relate with others and how other people relate with us. Our values help us gain value on a personal level which can be used as leverage in the public space.
Character and ethics is the maintenance package. Business does not fail because of lack of plans, but lack of values to build business culture and moral practice. That means they make plans but fail to follow up on them. Or they even fail to monitor them. Your values are a check up point and service area for your behavior, thoughts, language and actions. When they are kept in check, you are safe and the opposite is true.
Values make you refine what you do. If one of your values is Quality: it means there is standard against which your products are tested. You only release to the public what is worth the money and other forms of investment. If it does not meet a certain good standard, it is not worth offering.
These values are like a rock: a man with values is like a house built upon a rock. A man without values is like a House built on sand. It can easily be eroded with slight storms and flood.
