1PERSONAL VALUES AND VISION STATEMENT
Identifying the core values that guide us help us set our goals, mission and vision of
our life (Sagiv et al). As people, we value different things and these aspects define our
personality and life view. When I think about my end of life, I want to be able to learn about
three most important lessons of my life. The first lesson that I want to learn is making every
moment count. As human beings, we have short life span. Much of it is spent in learning and
working. The rest of the time that we have should be spent by pursuing one’s passion and
dreams, following their life long values. This makes us understand the value of life and by the
end of life, we have no regrets.
The second lesson that I want to learn is the value of experiencing our learning. I
presently work as a case manager and my job involves working with people in need. I am
being able to practice what I have learnt but I would like to explore that to a greater degree
and establish myself as a successful case manager. As an intern I am learning through
experience and I would like to apply that in my future. Through this experience I would also
like to experience the power of empathy as it is critical in serving people.
The third lesson that I want to learn is flexibility. Everybody has goals and missions
in their life. While it is necessary to follow them, we should also ensure that we are open
enough to incorporate new ideas into it or change with time (Barney). Flexible allows us to
stay updated and adapt to changes. At the end of my life I want to ensure that I have been
flexible with the necessary aspects of my life and I have grown through so that I do not
become outdated as a person.
The person that I deeply admire is my father. He has three key qualities that I respect
greatly. The first quality is punctuality. He is always on time wherever he goes and believes
that punctuality increases discipline in people, which makes them grow. Another quality is
his sense of responsibility to his family and the people that are close to him. He takes

responsibility in a complete manner and ensures that the people that he loves are not suffering
(Warr). The third and most important quality that he has is empathy. This is admired by me
because I share the same quality and I believe that it is his empathetic nature that has been
transformed to me. It is also the reason that I have chosen my current profession.
At my best, I am an honest person. I value truthfulness and loyalty. I am also a
positive and patient person. I value helping and I am committed to my community work. I
seek for inner harmony, honor and follow humility.
One sentence inscription: In loving memory of the person who showed empathy, care and
honesty in all aspects of life, never let his people down and remained positive in the darkest
of times.
For me, the five most important values are honesty, empathy, positivity, loyalty and
openness (Brown et al.). These five aspects build the core of my life values. I want to hone
these aspects in my life in order to become a better person in future. These values are
important as these will ensure that I serve people more honesty and empathy, remain
committed and loyal to my family and close people as well as my profession (Ye et al.). It
will also allow me to remain flexible and open to ensure growth and remain positive in life.
Vision Statement: I will follow my commitments in personal and professional life so
that I lead an honest life. I would follow my dreams and beliefs while remaining flexible to
other’s point of views so that I continue to grow and adapt to change. I will follow my
commitment to help the people that I serve so that they receive the best care and become
empowered to survive in the world.
I would practice empathy in all aspects of my life. I would actively listen to people,
their views, their beliefs, their struggles and sorrows so that I can serve them better. I would

ensure that I live an introspective and balanced life so that I remain a positive and happy
person.
I would ensure that I keep my promises and be more aware of other’s feelings and
pains. I would also help my family and friends, my coworkers and community to grow by
showing them love, support and care.
