What define us are the values we uphold. People will be able to tell what you stand for by the things you do and the way you act. If you have the right values, no doubt you will live a life of positive impacts on others.
I was reflecting over the weekend about who I am and what I stand for. I have put together some few sentences to describe some of the values I uphold. Some you might find hilarious but I have been truthful to myself. I would like to hear yours too, I admonish you to make it fun and be true to who you are as well. I assure you at the end you will be more self-aware.
I would rather live in a room with my family than to live in a mansion alone.
I would rather be a cleaner in heaven than to be a king in hell.
I would rather die for the truth than to live long like Methuselah.
I would rather live for others than to live for self alone.
I would rather learn to be best at something than to celebrate mediocrity.
I would rather be a street sweeper in my country than to be a slave in another country.
I would rather be mocked once for not knowing than to be a fool forever.
I would rather live in a hut than to live in a fool’s paradise.
I would rather go to bed hungry than to eat noodles.
I would rather get sex from a sex worker than to molest a child.
I would rather pray than to worry.
I would rather be quiet than to join the argument of fools.
I would rather do odd jobs than to beg for food
I would rather walk 10 thousand miles than to ride with the wicked.
I would rather be kind than to be unkind.
I would rather not give birth than to raise a child in penury.
I would rather get education than to be the king of hooligans.
I would rather stay unmarried than to marry a dirty woman.
I would rather be my own boss than to be bossed around.
I will love to read yours too... Feel free to add your series of I would rather
