VALUE SYSTEM

The value system of a person is a reference point and a coordinate system that helps make choices.

VALUES, GOALS AND PROPRITIES

  • Values
    Determine what you invest your time and energy into.
    It’s a conscious manifestation of a person in relationships, at work, in society.
  • Goal
    This is aspiration. When it is achieved, a new goal is set.
  • Priorities
    Values and goals need to be reviewed from time to time.
    Priorities will be set during changes.
Values adjust the goal-setting and always have a dynamic.
Values are both source and mechanism.
