Ethics & Values
This time last year, I was at a Senior Management Leadership Training. One class I can't forget was on Ethics and Values and it was taken by Prof Vincent Anigbogu.

I still remember nuggets from that class.
1. Success in life is predictable: ethics and values form 98% while miracles and luck form only 2%.
2. Every value you compromise, compromises you.
3. The corruption you tolerate, grows. The one you resist dies.
4. A person or organisation that lacks convictions will sooner or later sell his/her/its position to the highest bidder.
However, I think the most insightful part was when he asked us to write down the 10 most important things to us in life. He then asked us to delete one by one until we leave the 3 most important.
He further asked us to delete until we had left what each of us considered the most important.
I had so much to ponder on:
What do I really believe in?
What is my attitude towards money? How do I think and feel when I earn it, when I lose it, when I borrow it, when I save it and when I borrow from others and cannot pay back?

He also asked us to list 5 things people will say about you if you were to die today.
List 5 things people will say about you if you were to die in 20 years from now.

Just reminiscing about the training.
