Every day we are faced with the need to solve some problems and circumstances that constantly test our strength. And in today's world of all sorts of worries and stresses, our life values ​​play a huge role, which are a kind of pointers on the path of life.

If everything we say and do is in line with ours, life is correct and meaningful, and we ourselves are satisfied and confident in ourselves. However, it often happens that our actions diverge from deep-seated beliefs, which is why irritability. And this is an indicator that something is wrong. In addition, such feelings can make us unhappy, and only when we always act according to our conscience, both self-esteem and a state of happiness are preserved.

A person's life values ​​can be safely called his internal compass, according to which it is necessary to compare all steps. After all, when there are certain attitudes, it is much easier for a person to think through actions and, which is the basis of a productive and fulfilling life.

But let's think about what our life values ​​can be.

Composition "Life Values".

It is impossible to give an unambiguous answer to the question of what life values ​​are. But we can definitely say that they are filled with all spheres of human life.

Choice of life values

Life values ​​is a rather capacious concept that includes a huge list of life priorities of people. And each person, guided by his goals in life, chooses important things from this list. But everything big can be divided into small parts. Life values ​​are of two types: moral and material. All other characteristics are already constituent parts these two. For someone in priority material values- career, money, prosperity. Someone prefers the moral side of self-development: the spiritual search for oneself or the disclosure of one's destiny. For some, family and relatives are the main life value. The list is endless and the choice of valuable items from it for each person is absolutely individual.

Individual and traditional values

The quality of life itself depends on the presence of certain values ​​in a person's life. A person makes any decisions, from small to large, only on the basis of what is valuable to him. Whether it is the choice of a book to read or the definition of a profession and field of activity, the choice of the style of a dress, suit, or the choice of a life partner. The definition of life values ​​by a person is also influenced by many external factors. Much depends on how a person was brought up, in which country he lives. Living conditions in the country, culture, traditions - all this plays an important role in setting priorities for oneself.

What is valuable in this world?

The modern world dictates its own conditions and, it seems to me, many people give more preference to material interests. Few people will look for a job just for the soul, basically everyone is equal to good earnings. And in the pursuit of an appropriate standard of living, many give up on their health, or begin to pay much less attention to family, relatives and friends. And it happens quite the opposite, that a person tired of the race for material wealth stops, looks back at the past years and rethinks everything for himself. There is a reassessment of values, a person, in the end, understands what is really important and dear to him in this life.

Conflict of principles and circumstances

It often happens that people have to act contrary to their principles. It will lead to nothing but anxiety and irritability. A person always has a choice of how to act, change their values ​​or stay true to them. Life values ​​can be safely described as the inner compass of a person. Guided by it, a person must check his every step in life.

Hello guys, today we continue preparing for the exam, we will learn how to write an essay-reasoning.

2. Introduction to the topic, the formation of motivation

Let's start the lesson by reading the parable:

Once a wise man, standing in front of his students, did the following. He took a large glass vessel and filled it to the brim with large stones. Having done this, he asked the disciples if the vessel was full. Everyone confirmed that it was full.

Then the sage took a box of small pebbles, poured it into a vessel and gently shook it several times. Pebbles rolled into the gaps between large stones and filled them. After that, he again asked the disciples if the vessel was now full. They again confirmed the fact - full.

And finally, the sage took a box of sand from the table and poured it into a vessel. The sand, of course, filled the last gaps in the vessel.

Now,” the sage addressed his disciples, “I would like you to be able to recognize your life in this vessel!

Large stones represent important things in life: your family, your loved one, your health, your children - those things that, even without everything else, can still fill your life. Small stones represent less important things, such as your apartment, your house, or your car. Sand symbolizes life's little things, everyday fuss. If you first fill your vessel with sand, then there will no longer be room for larger stones.

It is the same in life - if you spend all your energy on small things, then there will be nothing left for big things.

Watch your big stones - they are the only ones that have value, everything else is just sand.

Conversation on:

Guys, what can be understood from the parable? What is more important in life?

What values ​​are important in life? What does this text teach?

Guess what is the topic of our lesson?

So, today we will talk with you about such a concept as life values. and what they should be, we will collect material for the essay. ( write down the date and topic of the lesson)

Every person has different values. Therefore, there is simply no specific set of ideal ones.

Life values ​​are a set of certain useful, significant and even extremely important intangible or material things for a person that play a significant role in his life and guided by which he carries out certain actions.

You can make a whole list of them. :

Family, home, children

Work, career, business

Caring for the weak

Personal growth, self-development

Beauty, health, entertainment

Relationships, love

money, things

Sports, activities, strength, growth

Education, etc.

Our list does not end here, it can still be extended.

What is more important from this list is a completely different question. Here again, everything is purely individual. Of course, one can talk about some generally accepted things “as if correct”, but from my point of view this will not be entirely true, because it is impossible for a person to decide what is more important to him.

Everyone has their own character, their own understanding of life, their own goals, and starting from this, the basic life values ​​are formed.

For one, personal development is important, for another, career and money are important, for the third, family. And it cannot be said that someone here does not make the right accent, just everyone has their own vision. The main thing is that it should be in moderation and not exceed moral and ethical standards, otherwise everything will not be harmonious.

How do you understand the meaning of these words?

    values ​​are what is important to a person in a certain context;

    everything that is dear to a person can be called a value.

    Values ​​are what a person especially appreciates in life, to which he attaches a special, positive life meaning.

    Life values ​​are what is a priority for a particular person.

Let's pick up synonyms and antonyms for it (write it in notebooks).

Synonyms: significance, usefulness, jewel, treasure, ideal, dignity, importance, need, advantage

Antonyms: secondary importance, worthlessness, uselessness

Why is it important to know your life values?

_ We have a cliche to help (Slide)

Reading the text by the teacher.

For analysis, let's take the text of Anatoly Aleksin:

(1) On that memorable day, when Kolka returned from the pioneer camp, in the center of the table was a pie bought by Elena Stanislavovna.

(2) To this day, Nelya has learned a new piece of music - bravura and solemn, like marches, with which the winners of battles are greeted. (3) And Kolka appeared on the threshold with his nose peeled in the sun and with an old, also peeling suitcase.

(4) Nelya rushed to her round swivel chair without a back, threw back the shiny piano lid - and the march burst out. (5) But she did not manage to play to the end ...

– (6) Where is my Blackback? Kolka shouted, drowning out the piano. (7) Blackback he called the wounded gull, which he found last summer on the lake, near the camp, and treated him all winter.

- (8) She ... was in the kitchen, - the father answered and moved towards Kolka with open arms. - (9) Hello! ..

(10) Kolka dodged his hands, threw his suitcase on the couch and ran out of the room. (11) All three - father, Elena Stanislavovna and Nelya - looked at each other, uncertainly followed him.

(12) There was an empty cage in the kitchen on the window ... (13) Kolka built this cage a long time ago with his mother's help, and it would probably be quite suitable even for a broad-winged mountain eagle, and not just for a modest seagull. (14) A bush grew inside the cage in a pot of earth so that the bird, if it were not a river gull, could sit on it and remember its native forest. (15) Now the leaves on the bush have curled up into dry tubules: apparently, no one has watered them for a long time.

(16) The cage door, which could well be called a door, was open. (17) There were a few yellow grains in an empty tin can...

– (18) Did you give her fish? Kolka asked quietly.

- (19) No ... we did not have time to mess with the fish, - answered the father. - (20) But the grains ... (21) Kolka was afraid to ask the main question, delaying it ...

- (22) But here, in the kitchen, it is dark and hot ... and it smells of gas. (23) Why did you bring her here?..

- (24) You know, Nikolai (his father always called him that - Nikolai in serious moments), you know that Nelya didn’t rest anywhere in the summer, that she worked from morning to evening, and the bird screamed, flapped its wings, something there rustled. (25) Well, in general, interfered with her ...

- (26) Black-Back, so it bothered you a lot? - still quietly, avoiding the main question, Kolka asked Nely.

- (27) Yes, it interfered! - the girl answered loudly, rattling from impending crying.

- (28) No wonder they call you Squeaky at school!

(29) Still ... (30) After all, I'm your sister!

- (31) And you are not my sister ... - Kolka blurted out.

(32) So far, Elena Stanislavovna has been silent. (33) In the depths of her soul, she believed that she should have been more sensitive to Kolka's request and should have carefully monitored the sick bird. (34) She was even ready to admit her guilt aloud. (35) But the last phrase instantly changed all her intentions.

- (36) How can you do that, Kolya? (37) Nelya sees her brother in you, she was so preparing for your arrival ... (38) And this Black Back really prevented her from studying.

– (39) Where is she now? – quietly asked Kolka, not hearing anything, except for what concerned his favorite bird. (40) Elena Stanislavovna lowered her head.

- (41) She died, - plucking up courage, the father answered. (42) Kolka swayed ... (43) He was also struck by the fact that his beloved bird, for which he brought a whole jar of fry from the camp, was gone, and that his father said about her death so directly and rudely.

- (44) She died ... but did not die. (45) Died because of you! Kolka shouted, barely holding back tears. (46) He grabbed his huge cage and, awkwardly dragging it in front of him, stumbling, ran into the yard ...

- (47) I don’t understand anything, - Elena Stanislavovna said slowly. - (48) We met him like that ... (49) Nelya prepared the march. (50) Just think, birds!..

(According to A. Aleksin)

Anatoly Georgievich Aleksin - Russian prose writer, playwright. Author of the stories "Sasha and Shura", "The Unusual Adventures of Seva Kotlov", "Kolya writes to Olya, Olya writes to Kolya", which depict the collision of children and adolescents with the world of adults.

1. Let's write the introduction to the essay - definition (Step 1):

Life values ​​are a set of extremely important qualities of character for a person that guide his actions and actions. I believe that material values ​​are important for someone: money, luxury goods, power. And for others, moral values ​​have priority: mutual understanding in the family, kindness, care for the weak, responsibility, mutual assistance. To prove my words, I will give specific examples.

Life values ​​are a very broad concept that covers, in fact, all spheres of human life. Values ​​can be both material and moral. Someone may give preference to money and career growth, while another person pays more attention to self-development, and the third is important to take care of the health of his family and close friends. But in any case, each person has values. Everyone pays much more attention to something than to everything else. And this choice is completely individual.

Life values ​​occupy an important position in human life. The adoption of any decisions depends on them - from the choice of a book to the choice of a profession and even a life partner.

Determining values ​​for oneself depends not only on a person, but also on his upbringing, environment, living conditions and culture of the country in which he lives. In different eras, there were different values ​​​​and representatives different countries values ​​will also often differ.

Recently, many people have rethought life values. And now, for them, it is more important to earn money, and not to find a job that will be interesting and beloved. Because of this value, people often forget about their families and friends, pay little attention to their health.

Life values ​​can also change throughout life. It often depends on what kind of environment a person got into, with what people he began to communicate, in which country he moved. A new hobby or just age can also affect. With age, many begin to rethink the life they have lived and the values ​​​​that were important throughout this very life. A person who has no regrets is a happy person. But not everyone can boast of this. There are people who only years later realize that they set their priorities wrong and now something needs to be done about it.

Many do not think at all and do not pay attention to their values ​​when considering any issue. And this only complicates the decision, which can significantly affect the future life.

Of course, not a single person is immune from mistakes, but the choice of life values ​​must be very careful, because the fate of a person and his environment depends on them. Right choice values ​​is important to make the right decisions and not regret them in the future, but just to be happy man.

Option 2

Life values ​​are things that a person cherishes throughout his life. Each person has their own values. It can be a career, wealth, fame, entertainment, family. What a person will cherish in the future directly depends on the upbringing received from his parents, the surrounding society and the country in which he lives. The child learns from the example of his parents to love and take care of his family. As he grows up, he develops his own character, his habits, tastes and outlook on life. Over time, friends appear who share the same views on life and with whom it is easy and interesting to communicate.

In recent years, as a result of rapidly developing progress, many people have revised their life values. For them, work has become a value and career. They gradually push their families into the background, forget their friends and take poor care of their health.

Throughout life, values ​​can change several times. With age, many can rethink the life they lived and the values ​​​​that were dear to him, as well as see the mistakes made and try to correct them. For example, by devoting too much time and effort to work, a person may realize that a career is not the most important thing in life. A high position and a good financial position cannot fully make a person happy. The presence of a lot of money will not return the health spent, and work will not be able to drown out the feeling of emptiness and loneliness that arose as a result of little communication with family and relatives. After all, any career and material well-being is a temporary good, today it is, and tomorrow you can lose it. Therefore, it is important to treat everything prudently and try to find a middle ground between work and family.

In the life of every person, the most important thing should be his family. Having learned to distribute his affairs so that there is enough time for work and family, he will become a truly happy person. His life will change dramatically: it will become more interesting and eventful.

Life values ​​play a very important role in human life. Not only the fate of a person depends on the choice of life values, but also the quality of his life and the people around him. Life values ​​help a person to make one or another choice, make the right decisions, understand the meaning of life. If the basis of life values ​​is kindness, love, respect, understanding and decency, then we can live happy life with no regrets in the future.

Essay about Life Values

What are life values? If we define this phrase, based on the roots of its constituent words, then these are the things that are especially valuable in a person’s life. In other words, this is the important, intimate thing that he has. The attitude to such things is most often especially serious, careful.

Life values ​​are undoubtedly based on the worldview, beliefs, guidelines, principles of a person. It can be both material and spiritual things. For some, the value of life is family, but for some it may be new toy or a book. In my opinion, they can tell a lot about the character and the person himself in fact. They can be compared to a compass that guides a person along the road of life.

It is clear that life values ​​are formed even deep in childhood. The perception of the world around the child, as you know, is especially sensitive. He, like a sponge, absorbs everything that happens. Very often the life values ​​of the child coincide with the parent. And this is not surprising, because with them he spends most of the time of his formation. They can also be formed under the influence of friends, teachers, other people around and, of course, traditions. It happens that life values ​​change very dramatically during adolescence. This happens due to the fact that the person seems to be not yet an adult, but no longer a child. Getting into different companies, he seeks to merge, all this, of course, leads to different consequences.

As for an adult, life values, I think, can be divided into several groups. This is a family, career, health and beauty, education, money and comfort, a favorite thing. Everyone chooses what to prioritize. Thus, the way of life, actions and happenings develop. Life values ​​determine the essence of a person. And the benefits, lining up in the hierarchy of these values, are thus "measures of human happiness."

Personally, when choosing the guidelines of my life, I try to follow Likhachev’s quote: “The greatest value is life!” And indeed, it all begins with this one short word "life"! Life is when you live, i.e. breathe, move, contact with the outside world. And how can there be other life values ​​without this very life? After all, even in the adjective, phrases are formed from this word. Therefore, the main thing for me is to live!

Thus, life values ​​are what helps a person to assert himself, move on and be himself.

The work, which is called "Mad Evdokia", was written by Russian and Soviet writer Anatoly Georgievich Aleksin.

  • Composition How I saw Mitrofan in the comedy Undergrowth Fonvizin

    The comedy reveals the theme of improper upbringing and approach to a person's personality. Mitrofan Prostakov causes me a negative attitude. He grows up as a stupid, cruel and uneducated boy

  • Characteristics and image of Mtsyri Grade 8 (main character) composition

    It is about a highlander, who in fact can be considered an example of freedom and rebelliousness. In a few lines, the author described the childhood and youth of the protagonist. Mtsyri was captured and taken to Russia

  • Values ​​are the main goals and priorities. It is by them that the essence of each person is determined, it is they who influence his life. What a person believes in, what he aspires to, what principles and ideals he adheres to, and his values ​​​​are characterized. So everyone chooses for himself what he considers the most important and significant.

    What are life values

    Life values ​​and guidelines are understood as absolute values ​​that are in the first place in a person's worldview. They are connected with his behavior, desires and aspirations. With their help, the tasks are solved, priorities are set.

    Each person has his own hierarchy of values. Life is built according to it: whom he chooses as friends, according to what principles he chooses a profession, how much effort he spends on education, what hobbies he is interested in, how much he is ready to interact with other people.

    Throughout life, changes occur in the hierarchy.

    Childhood puts some important events in the first place, youthfulness attaches importance to other moments, youth brings something third to the fore, mature age teaches you to appreciate something fourth, and old age teaches you to pay attention to something else. Young people and older people always have different views and life priorities.

    When a person in his life is faced with certain events (happy or tragic), cardinal changes can occur in his worldview. There is a complete rethinking of life, setting new priorities up to the opposite of the original ones.

    Such changes are a natural process when the human psyche and personality develop. When conditions environment change, the ability to adapt to them is a protective function of the body, part of evolution.

    Each individual needs a clear understanding of what the hierarchy of his own system is. When difficult situations knowing this will help you make an important decision, for example, choosing one necessary thing out of two. Understanding one's own paramount values, a person is able to identify what is truly important for him in order to achieve well-being.

    For example, the most common life situation is the following. The man is a responsible workaholic. He can not avoid delays after work to successfully complete the tasks. He loves his work, it is interesting, well-paid, promising, but never-ending.

    The man is tormented by thoughts that he could work more. As opposed to work, a man has a beloved family that every evening expects her husband and father to return early. The spouse often shows dissatisfaction. This introduces a man into a state of additional discomfort. There is a delay in dissatisfaction with one's life, such a feeling turns into a chronic one.

    These situations require the correct prioritization, a specific definition of what to put forward in the first place.

    Awareness of values ​​will help in resolving the internal problem and stop throwing. It is unrealistic to be in time everywhere, but the choice of paramount importance must be able to be made. If you understand such cases and build a hierarchy of priorities for yourself, you can avoid personal conflicts as much as possible.

    Life values ​​cannot be right or wrong. Some put a successful career in the first place, others - family relationships, the third - self-development.

    It is important to be aware of priorities, to be internally consistent with them. And to understand that an internal conflict may arise if it is difficult for a person to make a decision and decide what is truly important for him.

    Examples from life and literature

    Consider specific examples with bad and good life guidelines. Not all good values are mandatory for every person, but there are also important, basic ones.

    Values ​​are the basis of a person's personality. For example, love for the family, the desire for a successful career, spiritual development - all this allows us to characterize him.

    • If a person loves his family, he is responsible, loving, caring;
    • Success in the professional field in the eyes of others makes a person disciplined and purposeful;
    • A person who has chosen spiritual development for himself is highly moral;
    • The one who chooses constant learning and improvement is intellectual.

    In the literature, you can find the most striking examples that characterize the basic life values ​​of a person, let's consider a few:

    • The ancient Greek myth about King Midas, who rendered a service to the god Dionysus, tells how important it is to choose your priorities in life. The king wished that everything he touched turned into gold. God fulfilled his desire, but food and drinks also began to become gold in his hands - greed is a bad life guide.
    • "The Tale of Lost Time" by E. Schwartz teaches that time is the basic and most important life value that must be used wisely. Lazy people will not notice how time will pass, old age will come - then it will be too late to strive for the heights.
    • There are values ​​that are called "eternal", that do not change from generation to generation. One of these is friendship. Its importance is beautifully illustrated by Lis from " little prince» Antoine de Saint-Exupery is a person who knows sincere friendship, feels important, necessary, escapes loneliness and boredom, is able to know true happiness.
    • In V. Dragunsky's story "What Mishka Loves", the music teacher asked the children what is most important for a person. One child listed a lot of things - "the whole world", and the second only his favorite treats. Being a versatile person who is able to be interested in and love the world around is good. But elevating material values ​​to an absolute is bad even for an adult, and even more so for a child.
    • However, not all good values ​​are universal. A vivid illustration of this is the story of I.S. Turgenev "Khor and Kalinich". Two peasants have a different mindset - for one, a strong life is important, for the other, closeness to nature, art, he can be described as a person "hovering in the clouds."

      What is bad about this? Nothing, these are different personalities who complement each other in their communication.

    Behavior Prerequisites

    Values ​​are what motivate human behavior.

    A person who has chosen health as a vital value will behave in such a way as to preserve it: he will choose the right way of life, begin to control changes in the body, and begin to avoid any circumstances that are dangerous.

    A person who is distinguished by kindness, decency will not be able to betray, commit meanness or lie.

    An exception is possible in cases where you have to change your attitudes due to external influence specific reasons: fear, desire to avoid responsibility, etc. In the presence of such factors, a person commits acts that go against his existing principles.

    Most often it turns out that having achieved a result, a person is not satisfied with it, because the internal principles contradicted the committed actions.

    Basic life values

    The conditional division of life values ​​is represented by two groups:

    1. Material - represented by the desire for money, home, comfort, financial well-being, stability.
    2. Spiritual - is divided into several subgroups and includes:
    • family: the presence of intimate long-term permanent relationships in a couple, the birth of children, a feeling of love and need,
    • friends and colleagues: the desire to feel part of society,
    • career: striving for a certain social status and respect for authoritative people,
    • doing what you love: doing business projects or hobbies in music, sports, showing talent,
    • engaging in education and development of abilities, advanced training,
    • health care and appearance: the achievement of harmony and good physical shape, prevention and treatment of diseases.

    For example, to get an education, you need to have certain money that you need to earn. Finances allow the family to feel comfortable and spend leisure time interestingly. Health and beauty also require cash investments. Determining the social status of a person comes from the material wealth that he has acquired.

    From this we can conclude that material and spiritual values ​​cannot be separated from each other.

    Life values ​​can be divided into two groups. One of them is represented by universal human values ​​(cultural). It includes notions of good and bad. Their laying occurs in childhood. The child's family is taken as a model. The basis of priorities is what the parents took for values. Human priorities are based on the following:

    • physical health,
    • success in life (education, career, social status),
    • family, children, love, friends,
    • spiritual development,
    • freedom
    • creative realization.

    The second group is represented by individual values. Their formation takes place throughout life. Each person chooses them for himself. They may include kindness, faith in people, and the like.

    How life values ​​are formed

    The formation of a value system takes shape in childhood, when education and interaction with others begins. It will not work to change one's own views and beliefs in adulthood, when the personality has already been formed.

    There are four main factors that influence internal attitudes:

    1. The influence of family education. It is the parents who are the main source that influences the formation of the child. Demonstration of certain behaviors by parents in most cases will force the child to behave in the same way in the future.
    2. Influence kindergarten and schools. Educational institutions have a significant impact on the next generation. Educators and teachers spend a lot of time with preschoolers and schoolchildren. What matters to children is information that comes from teachers they respect.
    3. The influence of social norms. Interaction with society is based on certain norms of behavior. If these norms are violated, other people condemn the violator.
    4. The process of self-knowledge. Self-knowledge is no less important for the formation of personality and its values. The existing attitudes of a mature person can be changed only after a complex introspection. His help lies in determining the real views and beliefs that do not correspond to the stereotypes imposed by the family or society.

    How to discover your values

    Thanks to the developments of psychologists, there are a variety of methods that diagnose life values.

    For example, online testing. To do this, you need to spend no more than 15 minutes and in a few seconds get the result by answering multiple choice questions or choosing items from a list with several statements.

    In such tests, there are no right or wrong answers. At the end, the test taker receives the result in the form of a list of values.

    Using these methods allows you to quickly find out your own priority hierarchy. Sometimes a person does not agree with the results that he received. In such cases, you can turn to other tests.

    Testing is also good because while a person is thinking about questions, he is already choosing the most significant and secondary things for himself.

    Alternatively, you can try to analyze your priorities yourself. A sheet of paper is taken, on which everything that matters is written, all the most expensive, valuable things, both material and spiritual.

    After the list is made, you need to take a break, for example, do something else. Then return to the list and choose from it the 10 most important things. The rest must be deleted. After that, the list is re-read again and halved again. To determine priorities, you need to imagine various situations from life. This will help you choose important points.

    After five values ​​remain on the list, they need to be written in points from 1 to 5, depending on how important it is. What will be under the number 1 is the priority. The remaining four things will be important, but not as important.

    The value system of men and women

    Men, as a value, represent realization in society, while women, to a greater extent, want to realize themselves in the family.

    If a wife is able to create comfortable home conditions for her husband, support and understanding, this will serve as a guarantee of a man's success in many endeavors.

    In the modern world, many women also choose to realize themselves in society. At the same time, creating a family and giving birth to children is no less important task for them.

    The general value system of representatives of both sexes is made up of factors:

    • health,
    • material well-being,
    • family well-being
    • personal development,
    • career success.

    Hierarchy of values

    Each has a hierarchy of priorities with its own characteristics. The location of each vital value is in its place, which depends on how significant it is.

    Numerous studies have shown a generalized result of the hierarchy of values. Most people put in the hierarchy:

    • family
    • children,
    • health,
    • career,
    • finance,
    • self-realization,
    • relationships with friends
    • hobby,
    • recognition in society.

    This shows the finding of basic personal and family values at the very top, material and other - much lower.

    How to instill good values ​​in your child

    For many new parents, one of critical issues- how to instill in the child the values ​​of life, to give the right education.

    Choosing a system of priorities for raising a child, each parent must understand for himself what the “correct” values ​​are.

    Those things that are formed in early childhood remain in the head throughout the rest of life. If a person does not expect serious shocks, these ideas cannot be changed. These are universal values ​​- family, love, self-development, education, career, material well-being.

    A child in whose family preference was given to relationships with close people will give a lot of strength to love and interpersonal relationships. The desire for career heights will form an ambitious personality out of a child with a claim to a certain status.

    Life experience allows the child to build a system of values.

    For example, it will not work to convince a teenager that a family should be valued if the father devotes all his time to work, and the mother is busy only with gadgets or beauty salons, not paying any attention to the child. Only own example parents will help the formation of "correct" life priorities.

    Rethinking values

    The beginning of the formation of the main life values ​​occurs in the first year of life. At 22, this process comes to an end.

    Throughout his life, a person has to get into various situations that can lead to a rethinking of priorities. As a rule, these are moments in which a person experiences strong emotional upheavals (both positive and negative), or gets into a protracted one.

    Rethinking values ​​can be caused by:

    • marriage,
    • the birth of a child,
    • the loss of someone close to you,
    • a sharp change in material well-being,
    • serious illnesses (own or someone close to you),
    • tragic events in the world,
    • falling in love with a person whose qualities differ from previously presented ideals,
    • life crises,
    • old age.

    A person can come to a change of priorities without own will, and in those cases when instincts lead to the optimal way to continue life path.

    For example, a person experiencing a crisis may rethink their values ​​due to mental anguish. Depression and a sense of one's own unhappiness raise a sharp question about priorities for a person. It is necessary to change priorities in such situations consciously, with a clear desire for life changes.

    The opportunity to rethink values ​​allows you to seize the chance to discover Blank sheet for a new life. In most of these cases, a person changes for the better, his life is filled with happiness and harmony.
