All of us expect life to give us the best. Some get the best in the most ethical manner, while some get it by taking the short cut route and by sacrificing all the basic Values in life. It is good to be self centered but not selfish. The most successful men in life have had good Values that they practised and preached. The importance of Values in life as important as the breath for a human being. It should be part and pacel of everyone's life.

No one is poor in this life dear. If you are monetarily poor you will be rich in virtues and this will lead you to become monetarily rich soon. The Rich do not have peace of mind while the poor will not have any kind of troubled mind and will enjoy the best sleep

Values are the building blocks of who I am. They define me. They help me make decisions weather wise or crazy ones. Values are however subjective per person. Not one person has all the same values as you, some may have values like yours but understands it differently. But the Universal Rule about Values is that we should integrate them in our lives in order to become a well-rounded human being.

Very well said. It is true that all the Values only teach us the best in life and show us the path of righteousness

Yes The Values are the only thing that define abd describe my personality and nature. They also reflect te character and nature of certain society. We should carry themon and make ourself and others follow it. Today, we are neglecting them and not taking any notice of them. But we shoud now start "valuing the values".

I like your topic. I think everybody has his own idea of life value, no matter whether he admits or not. A good and constantly changable value will lead one to the road of success --- mundane and moral.
