WHAT’S YOUR MISSION?

What was your experience? Did you understand the questions? Why so difficult? Is there value in such an activity?

Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom. -Aristotle

KEY CONCEPTS Values Beliefs Ideologies Personal Views : The things you view as important, these influence your goals and career choices. Some people think English is more important than Maths and vice versa Values: Your values are your standard for determining what you think is right and wrong. Values are there to help you decide if you are going to do something or not, almost like a guide. You learn your values from others through your upbringing, experiences, and your interest or from people you find important. Belief System: What you believe about the world, yourself and your place in society Religion: The believe of who you worship and the moral code of that belief system. These can influence your choices of behaviour. Ideologies: The belief of how society works and the roles people and groups play in society. Different ideologies include politics, economics, socialism etc. Lifestyle: How you live, eating and exercise habits, alcohol consumption and general well-being. Environmental Responsibility: Planting of trees, recycling, your carbon footprint, how you feel about these issues and your contribution. Goals: What you want to achieve and how.
