Honesty

Honesty is a great value that every one should practice, because it is important for your life, it is commonly accepted and person trust you. To always say the truth makes person feel sure about their loyalty. Because they always leave a good impression. For example, when people don’t come to work or university and when they lie by saying they were sick, they are being dishonest. In addition, if you lie all the time, people won’t believe you and you have a real problem in the future. To be honest means that you are humble, so your friends, family, classmates believe you. On other hand, it is important to also be discrete and don’t tell other person someone else’s things. Sometimes the boss thrust you more than other people, because you have demonstrated you are honest. For instance when people work with money, it is significant no to steal money. It is important to learn this value since you are a child. For this reason the values and education have to be taught by family and school. In other words you obtain what you deserve, for that it is very important to practice honesty in life.

self-esteem

What Self-esteem means is the concept you have about yourself. According to this, the self-esteem will be reflected on your behavior regarding the people, and your performance on your job or studies. Self-esteem is developed according to your life experiences, and sometimes by your social circle. There are some people who have a low self-esteem because of their physical appearance, and some people who have a high self-esteem because of their money and material things. But what I really think is that the most important element, that could even fix and change, and also give a color to the concept of your self is God! In God you’ll find the real concept of yourself…

addictions

Overcoming addiction is difficult but not impossible, behind this dependence is a person suffering with low self-esteem, no matter how well try to be that person inside is always wrong. From a young age, have been dragging suffering that often, the family, school or friends could not see or repair, maybe little things that have gone deep inside of us, things that today we express a life of addiction. The thing to see is that behind all this there is a person in need of love and understanding, which lies inside the noblest sentiments and virtues that make them special people and beaten. We lose our personality in the vices and overestimate the value that we really have , well, overshadowed our virtues. We must keep in mind what is really worth so never surrender to addiction.

Nelson Mandela

It was the first democratically elected South African president by universal suffrage. Before being elected president was a prominent activist against apartheid because of which he was imprisoned for 27 years. During his imprisonment, Mandela became the most representative figure of the struggle against apartheid, being a key figure in the peaceful transition to representative democracy in South Africa and an internationally known and influential statesman. Mandela was a revolutionary leader, who led his people on the path of non-discrimination, regardless of criticism or other comments that it generated. Inspired by Gandhi, continued his steps in search of social equality and non discrimination.
