Answer the 10 questions

Nominate 10 bloggers——————————————-What are the values most important to you ?

Emotional Intelligence is one of the key things I look for in another person. With this you can go anywhere and with anyone in the world.

–How important are the values in your life,? primary or secondary importance ?

To me personally, Emotional Intelligence (simple form of manners and morals )are everything, there are people who may have not been fortunate to have a good education, but they do have manners, social manners, which will always stand them well and people will remember them for it.

-Put into practice the values that are most important to you in everyday life.

I have always made manners and morals part of my daily life, I hope, from a child I have practiced this value, and also passed it on to my boys, which I have to say over the years, has been mentioned many times, for their social graces, it involves being aware of others needs, kindness and manners all rolled into one.  

–Do you think that today the values for young people are not important ?

Again, this is only my personal opinion, but I think I would have to say in general NO, (this makes me feel very old) I sound like my grandmother, but I feel that being polite costs nothing, and I have encountered on numerous occasions while seeking a service whether it be in an office, supermarket, etc., an angry indifferent person serving me, don’t you just love it, when they don’t even look at you, or carry on a conversation with some one else while attending to you, needless to say I don’t go back ! I understand that many people do a job that they are unhappy about, but this is a first class example of doing something you love, it really does show, why work with people if you don’t like them ?

–In one sentence – who are you ?

It’s difficult to speak about yourself in this context but, I think  I am a caring, considerate person.

-What is it that you recently learned new about yourself?

I have recently learnt to care more for myself, I have always put others first, and I realise now that you cannot always do that.

–In order of importance, what role would you recognise the following aspects of your life, happiness, money love and health.

Health, Happiness, Love & Money, I have taken this order because I feel that without health, the rest have no importance, happiness is important for our well-being and those around us, love, if we love ourselves it could be placed anywhere, and when we love ourselves we love others, Money, I honestly don’t think it should be last, as we need it, sadly !! but without the rest, we could live and eat well, but we could be ill, unhappy and have no love in our life. So……? 

–What do you do when you do not agree with what most people think?

I allow and accept, I do not have to be in agreement with them, but if I allow and accept, I am happy and feel content with my decision.

–What did you do to be the person you’ve always wanted to be ?

Do we ever reach that total 100%, we are all in continual growth and learning new things everyday, I follow my instincts to follow my path, my life journey, I do want to me, who I am, so maybe by doing what I do, I’m doing the right thing.

–The fear of failure – did it prevent you from accomplishing anything? And what did it teach you ?

I do not allow fear into my life anymore, I used to, but now I am in control, I see failure as success turned inside out, when I did have fear,it prevented me from living my life as I should have, so it taught me , to ignore fear in any shape or size, I take a deep breath and go for it, and just keep going.
