We all have different values; you know… those things that really matter to each of us. Ideas and beliefs we hold special.
Most of us learned our values at home, church or synagogue, and at school. We learned from parents, teachers and religious leaders. In today’s culture many of our young people are most influenced by what they see and hear on television, and in most cases if the values were not strongly adapted from family they will acquire values from their peers.
Developing values in the concepts of being – trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, reverent – can become an integral part of how we do things and interact in everyday situations.
I remember back when I was a little girl, my mom would talk about how she admired American Customer Service, and now decades later… I know most of us have a lot to desire about our own customer service. The simplicity of having someone being courteous and polite. What happened to the values that guided this nation to greatness?
I believe that each and everyone can make a difference by upholding our basic values. It is through our purposeful interactions within our environments that we share our values with others and pass them on as well.
