culture, employers, time-period in which

you were raised (70’s anti-establishment, peace, individuality. 80’s money, prestige, don’t get caught, etc. 90’s earth, green peace, health and fitness), etc.

Your age will greatly influence your values. Different people and things

influence you at different ages:

Ages 1-7 --- parentsAges 8-13 --- teachers, heroes (sports, rocks,

TV)Ages 14-20 --- peers (values because of peers

or peers because of values?)Ages 21+ your values are established, but you

RememberValues are universal, absoluteAnd beyond the situational, cultural, race and

creed disparitiesOur outer-behavior reflects how far we abide by

this inner- value systemWhatever our conduct ought to be when we are

in tune with the inner-source- we term as “ETHICS”

More our conduct is in consonance with the inner values, the better composed and integrated

our personality is.

Remember

Our behavior outside is a reflection of our values within, which we radiate outwards through our actions and deeds.

Values guiding an action are positive, the results are positive.

If the values guiding a particular action are negative the ultimate outcome will be negative only .

You fall for anything.”

but doing the right things. “
