Original Post:

1. Family
2. Friendship
3. Health
4. Enjoyment
5. Personal Development
My parents always remind me to have a well-organized process for studying or working. They taught me to develop my personal skills then companies will require me with high compensations. Keeping it mind, I have tried to learn something in schools. I do not care of what grades I receive but learn the process of getting a good grade. Moreover, I know that I have to reward my parents who have raised me. Currently, I cannot give them a physical reward but keep calling them and be safe while we are away each other. I try to follow the way my parents expect. These basic values have been built by the education of my parents. Also, while I lead my life, friendship has been important factor to me. It must be the most powerful supports. Friends always listen my words and give me an advice. We discuss the vision of our life and find a way to fulfill. Due to the fact, I unconsciously care my friends and respect them.However, there is something that I could not acknowledge, enjoyment. I have faced with numerous difficulties and felt like giving up some tasks. As the tasks must be fulfilled on time, I was forced to do them rather than enjoying the works so that the results were not satisfactory. Enjoyment is really important factor to succeed. In my daily life, I feel enjoyment while I am playing games or watching some funny shows. However, that does not contribute to my personal development. For my career, I try to control my mind to feel enjoyment on my works. I believe the mind control will bring me a good motivation to get succeed. Moreover, health is very important. If I become a marketing specialist, I can adjust my knowledge into real industry with fun and enjoyment, but bad health condition will prevent me from performing my knowledge and let my parents and friends worry about. It would be no exaggeration that everything that I fulfill will be disappeared. Thus, I have to think of those five values and try to keep them.
Reflection
The life value assessment definitely reminds me to keep my values in my mind. The life values listed above are the important factors that have shaped me. While I have leading my life, I have forgotten what is important to me and used to ignore them. Without any strong conscious on values, I cannot be improved and will stay in the same places. In this perspectives, the life value assessment helps me stand in the start line again to think of what shaped current status of me.Those values listed above, family, friendship, health, enjoyment and personal development are derived from external and internal analysis.
I have influenced a lot by external environment. During my growth, I have faced with numerous difficulties (I thought) and receives messages by overcoming those difficulties. Actually, the structures of values initially have been built by external environment and I internally formed and elaborated those values. I was raised under parents education and complied with their taught as a rule. They used to explain what I have to during my school life and how I should lead my life. They are absolutely a safety bar in a roller coaster. Although I got failed on my works or dream, they used to remind me to keep trying for my life while supporting me enormously. Their supports absolutely have driven me to easily approach new works. By their endless supports, I value my family as priority. Moreover, my friends were always with me and listen my complains or story of hardship. I was consoled by them and could walk my way without any depressions.  Every word they spoke me obviously helps me keep my works up. Such supports drives me to have a value of friendship. Furthermore, I have read many books and learned from media that enjoyment is the optimistic factor to get success. Such external information influenced me to keep the saying in mind, thus lead me to value it. However, the value of personal development was created internally. My thoughts and ideas for future obviously evoked me to have a notion of personal development to be respected in the society.
Future:
In the future, I think I will keep the value in mind strongly. There is a possibility that my value can be changed as I experience more various things. No matter how values will be delivered to me, I plan to adopt the new values. By keeping those values, I am sure that I will improved more and more. The most important thing would be not forgetting those values.
