There are many different values that I believe in and standards I hold myself to as I go about my daily life, but the most important of them in my eyes is reliability.
Reliability could have multiple meanings depending on the situation. For example, if a person is in a position of power, such as the President of a club, the members of said club should comfortably be able to expect that leader to hold themselves to the highest standard possible and to do everything and anything that the club needs. This could include showing up on time to club meetings, being a role model to newer members by setting the best example, or going above and beyond outside of scheduled meetings. The members should also feel comfortable with that person being the representative of the club as well as the voice of the club as a whole. This is reliability. The ability to have other people trust you without concern that you might do something wrong.
Another type of reliability is accessibility when communicating with others. Communication is a key aspect to success in any activity involving more than one person. Imagine a situation with a group of people trying to start a business. From the very beginning of the process, the original group of people attempting this would have to communicate their different ideas and goals to get their business off the ground. If one person in the group is unresponsive or does not voice their opinion, there could be issues. The rest of the group may move forward with a decision that only benefits certain people. The business will also have to communicate with their customers so they can get feedback to make a better product or improve their services.
I believe that being someone that other people can count on is the most valuable thing a person can do. It will open may doors in the future as well as build good relationships with those around you.
