Almost every culture and society has a certain set of values which are inculcated in individual ever since they are young. Despite the stark differences in cultures and communities, there are certain values which are common to all. It is these values of humanity, kindness, love, respect, friendship and brotherhood, which I bid on, because I consider the human community as a whole which should co-exist without hatred and animosity. I feel that if every individual holds strongly to the above values, life will be much more peaceful. The values which I actually bought were love, respect, honesty and kindness because of their importance in my life. I firmly believe that love and respect for a person enables us to see the good side of any character and kindness enables us to do to others as we would like them to do to us. These values are the core and essence of my self-identity and what I am today is solely due to these core attributes which I possess. As a person I am loving and kind and respect the feelings of others which is why I am very thoughtful of my actions with others and think deep of the possible repercussions before doing or saying anything. Personal values often come from not one single source in life but are a result of an entire life cycle and upbringing. The family, parents, culture and the society within which we live and function are the sole contributors to our value system and the manner in which we think and behave. Surroundings and the environment which exist when we are young children have a crucial impact on our basic values in life and the most important people in our lives who influence our positive and negative values are those with whom we are in close contact during the early part of our lives, parents, family and school teachers, by virtue of the amount of time we spend with them.

However, I decided that I will deal with this positively and treat even mean and selfish individuals kindly so that they feel ashamed of their acts and behaviours and can try to change themselves for the better. My values affect everything I do in life and my career will obviously be one which does not demand me to change my core personality. Choosing a profession or career where honesty will not be compromised will be one of my major concerns in life. My values reveal the kind of person I am and the kindness and respect with which I treat individuals reflects my upbringing. My honesty is something which I am extremely proud of and I believe that this is one of the most important traits of my character which contributes substantially to my individuality and my career identity. In all of the previous jobs which I have done, I have been true and honest not only to myself but also to the people whom i worked with. As such I have developed healthy and long-lasting relationships with my peers due to my sincere contribu
