Values

In my humble opinion, when I look at the current education system and the society perceptions in measuring the success are all about academic grades; assets or wealth in hand; the power and status in one's position and the society; and materials that covering every piece of individual.


We are trying so hard to have everything mentioned as above. These can easily spotted right from birth. Which hospitals to deliver? what diaper's brand? which early child development programs? which pre-school? which kindergarten? which popular hard to get in primary & secondary schools? which well-known college/university? then comes the dream job in MNC, high salary, high post, promotions, nice car, nice wedding, nice house, nice holidays and the cycle starts all over when the newborn comes...


We sit for all sort of tests from academic, driving license, professionals qualifications (Lawyers, CFP, Doctors, Accountants, diving, makeup, ISO, personal trainer, train the trainer) and many many many many more just to obtain any recognized certificates, degrees or licenses in order to stay competitive in this highly competitive society.


But finally a good news in life that does not need any test or license...The Values. Helping others, Integrity, be Enthusiastic, Passionate in life, Courtesy, Humbleness...all these qualities needed to deal with what mentioned on all the above have no official tests or certificates needed yet we neglected most and these are what majority fails...we have all the materials needed to live in this society but rarely we have the values needed to live our life.


Yes, not all because 80/20 rules still applies or due to the changes, is now moving to 90/10? No research done and no references to back this view, purely my own swallow perceptions.
