Question

Sukinennik and Raufman (2016) suggest that you consider how you will use your values. They ask the question “In the service of what need, will you put your values to work?” (p. 47). Express your values in the form of a mission statement.

Answer 1

My personal values system includes being extremely kind to others and empathize with them. I believe whatever best we could do in helping other people, we should not hesitate in doing that. I want the purpose of my life to be dedicated to serving humanity with all the resources I have.

Given the above value system, the following is the mission statement through which I will put my values to work:

Mission statement: “To utilize my knowledge, experience and education in serving others and helping them attain the basic necessities of life such as food, shelter and clothing. To make the best of my vital resources such as time, money and energy in building a system where there are no biases towards anyone and everyone is treated with respect and equality.”
