Importance of Human Values in Life
Human values are most important in life—so

important that people are and should be ready to
sacrifice almost anything to live with their
values. Honesty, integrity, love, and happiness are
some of the end values or destination values that
human beings seek to attain, practise and live with
Importance Of Values
Our values inform our thoughts, words and actions.

Our values are important because they help us to
grow and develop. They help us to create the future
we want to experience. Every individual and every
organisation is involved in making hundreds of
decisions every day
How Values Affect Our Lives
Your values form the foundation of your life. They

dictate the choices you make and determine the
direction that your life takes.
Your values will influence your decisions related to
your relationships, career, and other activities you
engage in. Yet despite this importance, few people
choose their values
How Values Affect Our Profession
 Values drive our actions and they motivate your goals. Your goals
help you establish your priorities in life, guide your decision-making,
and affect your evaluation of your success and happiness in life. Take
time to reflect what being successful means to you. It will be
different for you than for other people
 If you have a set of values, your chances of getting a job, especially in

organisations that value your values, become high. The
individual's values are a good predictor of her/his behaviour in the
workplace
How Values Affect Decision Making
