The 4 C's of my values

Following my last post, I got to thinking what values I think are the ones that I identify with and strive the most towards.

There are thousands of values out there, and figuring out which ones most clearly defined me is an tough proposition.

My guiding questions in this 'internal audit' were :
- what do I really believe is important to me ?
- what do I think is the best of me that I can show others (while staying true to me of course) ?
- what is it that I want people to think about the type of person I was - when I'm gone ?
- what kind of people do I identify with ?
- what do I think my 3 boys should have as leading moral principles from their dad ?

I came out with 4 C's
- Character : doing what's right
- Compassion : doing it for others
- Courage : doing it no matter the consequences
- Competence : doing it to the best of my abilities

If I can achieve that, I'll be happy.
