Dear bro & sis,



Thanks for your sharing about values.



Please let me ask 1 more question for today: How can we know that we are
possessing some values?



It sounds like an unreasonable question.  But I'm serious about this. For
that Vietnamese culture is a very 'modest' culture. So that we have trend
not to give compliment. (eg, my parents never tell me that I do sth good.
Very frequently, I should realize if I'm good by myself). Luckily that my
parents let me detect myself so that I learn from different communities that
I have possess some value (that I can sing well, I can write well, I can be
a good leader if I follow my kind heart).

I think that I'm lucky. But many of my friends, Vietnamese students really
don't know how good they are. When they answer the question "What is your
abilities?", I bet that they would say "I don't have any ability". (though I
usually find many abilities that they have).

This will come to the result that we are not confident. And if we are not
confident about ourselves, I think we will meet many of struggles, and the
struggle may not come from the outside environment but from inside us first.



So, to know that we are possessing some values is not easy, I think.
Especially sometimes, the environment prevents us from showing these values.
Eg: years ago, 'obedience' is a great value that most of parents expect from
their children. The obedient child will be considered as wonderful child.
Now, we expect our children to be creative, to 'think it different', to be
'crazy'. I believe that many of today obedient adult once were the very
creative children. But in the days that everyone appreciates the 'obedience'
value, how can they know that 'creativity' is also a great value that they
should pursue?



Some wondering,

Nice weekend, bro &sis!
