My Core Values

Introduction

Core values are one of the most important components of the personality of an individual which often help in shaping it and defining to the general society. The core values help the individual to excel in life by staying true to its nature or mission. They also help the individual attain as well as maintain social status in the society, according to the nature of the core values. My core values include honesty, consistency, accountability, open-mindedness, and environmentalism which not only define my position in the society but help me develop a distinctive identity.

Honesty

Core values define the demeanor of the individual, providing an opportunity to others to depend on him/ her or stay careful. Honesty is one of the most important core value of my personality and I think it should be present in each and every individual if they want to be true to themselves and people around them. I stay true to myself and society by only committing the things which I can do. The origin of this core value is my parents as they always taught me not to deceive anyone and stay honest. It is quite important in the personal and professional life as well, in the way that if the people would be dishonest, they will waste their energy and efforts towards a wrong cause which will not even pay or serve them in the long run. They will be deceiving themselves and not the people around them by manipulating the circumstances.

Consistency

Consistency is another important core value of my personality. It helps the individual to become dependable and achieve prosperity in life. It is quite important in personal and professional life as well, as people have to face difficulties before getting settled. Without consistency, they would not be able to stay strong during the period of difficulty. The origin of this core value is also my family as my parents always taught me to face the difficulties with courage and consistency and not just surrender to them.

Accountability

Accountability is another core value, which is equally important in personal and professional life. A person should always have the sense of being true to their family and work and accountability is the source of checking their fairness and reliability. When the person knows he would be held accountable for his actions, he would be able to deliver the best. The origin of this core value is the society which has taught me that you have to give answers to your actions, so I should not act in the way which makes me embarrassed later on.

Open-mindedness

Open-mindedness is one of the most important core value of my personality which I think greatly defines me. It is important in professional life, but specifically in personal life. When a person gets associated with someone, expectations develop, which can often lead to misunderstandings as well. The person should be open-minded enough to not reach the conclusion immediately and let others explain themselves. The origin of this core value is my personal experience which has helped me learn and develop new core values.

Environmentalism

Lastly, in recent times, environmentalism has become another core value of my personality. The origin of this core value is the condition of the society, which has made me realize that human beings are tormenting the environment which can then impact their existence. It is important in the professional and personal capacity as people from all walks of life impact the environment and have the responsibility of ensuring its safety. Human beings waste natural resources and add pollution to the atmosphere in a number of different ways, which is disturbing the ecosystem and eventually tormenting the environment.

Conclusion

Core values of an individual define his personality and attitude towards the goals and mission of the society, which lay the foundation of its progress. My core values are honesty, consistency, accountability, open-mindedness, and environmentalism, which help me to stay true to my loved ones and work, in addition to working hard and fairly towards the progress of the society. The origin of some of the values is my family, society and my experiences which kept shaping my personality and attitude.
