Values Determine Behaviour

Instead of the video I will show the diagram of the buoy and explain it“Your values are the anchor that determine how you think, make decisions, feel and ultimately behave. Changing behaviors must begin with examining your internal core values. If you value things, prestige or ideas more than people and self, your choices and behavior will be poor and bring sorrow, loss and failure to your life as well as hurt those around you”

Values Matter

Watch a video - Values Matter(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHcasIi5vVc)

In a world where everybody is running and never walking, where we know the price of everything but have

forgotten the value of life, we have decided to walk in order to celebrate and remind ourselves what we are

made of: Love, Peace, Truth, Non-Violence, Right-Conduct. Let's turn anxiety into peace, fear into love, war into non-violence, exclusion into right-conduct. Let's walk

hand in hand so that this world turns into our home...Walk for Values is an annual event that takes place worldwide to promote the goodness of human

beings and the unlimited amount of values we posses.

“Ordinary people can do extraordinary things.”
