For me, values is a topic not that often talked about but one that plays a huge
role in our behavior and results. Because values are personal, and not always
clearly defined, they remain an important but under-discussed and under-
appreciated part of who they are as a person. Rather my intention is to be practical
and straightforward. Our values are most valuable when they are clearly understood
and defined.
We need to be practical in our values, just because values guide our decisions
especially when we are precisely a leader just like mine, as a Sangguniang
Kabataan leader on my community, I have so many decisions to make , those that
impact just mine, and those that impact many to others. Decisions, big or small, can
be made faster, easier and with greater confidence when you start with our values.
Run our decisions against the schema of your values. It is the best place to start. Be
practical.
We need to be practical in our values, just because, values strengthen our ability
to influence. When I communicate from my values I connect to my passions. When
I speak with passion, people are drawn on me, are more likely to hear my message
and I will be more successful in persuading and influencing. And I as a young leader
it should be self-evident why my values become practical and be matter in this way.
We need to be practical in our values, just because, values reduce stress. Most
people I know would like less stress in their lives. I, as a young leader it is doubly
important because my stress is contagious, it infects those around mine. When my
decisions are faster, communication is easier and I am clearer about things I will
have less stress! I may not have thought about values in this way in the past;
however, it is completely true that living from my values is a wonderful way to reduce
stress.
We need to be practical in our values, just because, values guide your actions. I
saved this for last on purpose. It is one thing to know and understand my values. It is
another thing to behave in accordance with them. This fact impacts all of the ideas
shared so far because it is when you understand and then act on your values that all
the benefits are gained. This is the most practical of these benefits. Our values guide
our actions.
In the modern world the word "science" is used almost exclusively of the natural
or material sciences. Even within that context it has come to have various
interrelated but distinct meanings. It refers to the methodology and conduct of
particular experiments and research. It also denotes the various theories that unify
multiple areas of discovery and insight such as relativity, genetics and evolution.
Often it can indicate the understanding of the world around us at the conceptual or
philosophical level which has been revealed in a fuller light by scientific research.
RELIGION
The word "religion" can be even more diverse and diffuse in its meanings. It
encompasses those aspects of human life and culture that are concerned with the
ultimate meaning and destiny of human nature and the relationship of the individual
and of society with the supernatural. In our own thinking, the religious instinct is
natural to human beings; we are drawn to the Divine in whose image and likeness
we are made and in whose environing wisdom and love we find our proper harmony
of life and our deepest fulfillment.
