When was the last time you checked the shift in your values? Day in day out you are bombarded by advertisements, movies, soap operas, colleagues, bosses, friends, strangers and this constant assault can erode your values. Hopefully your parents/guardians/teachers have set in you default values for success such as:
Same thing can happen to your child. A single exposure to a conniving relative or stranger can quietly change your child's values.
Vigilence is the only answer to this immense problem.
Examine your values again, today. It is a high priority action item, as your success or failure depends on maintaining wholesome values you have gained or been gifted with.
Also check your child's value shifts. Build trust with your child and be alert for changes.
- Honesty
- Integrity
- Hard work
- Smart work
- Concern for others
- Speed
- Punctuality
- Walking the talk
- Respect for others
- Commitment to friendship and friends
The list can go on. These are default values and hopefully you have, consciously, examined these and chosen them, again for yourself.
Environment has tremendous impact on you, whether you realize it or not;It can quietly eat in to your values and turn you into a new leaf with a new color.
Are you turning into a new leaf?Same thing can happen to your child. A single exposure to a conniving relative or stranger can quietly change your child's values.
Vigilence is the only answer to this immense problem.
Examine your values again, today. It is a high priority action item, as your success or failure depends on maintaining wholesome values you have gained or been gifted with.

Very interesting idea.
I agree, we should regularly examine our own values not just those of others.
