IMPORTANCE OF PRINCIPLES

There are things in this world that would always give the same results simply because of the principles attached to their performance or execution. To a large extent, our lives should have a pattern it follows so as to be able to replicate a kind of improvement or success we envisage and the pattern in this case are simply brought about by principles we should follow to give us expected results.

I took time to research the meaning of the word “PRINCIPLES” and I found out that they are standards we should live by to give us results we need. Even though we have to be flexible in the implementation of principles, they are must have as human beings.

Principles govern our emotions and feelings, it governs our attitude, character and disposition towards others. It defines the kind of person we are and also shapes our thought. With all these, I do not see why we should not address this topic.

Over time, I have written a little about becoming a leader and also performing efficiently in environment or situation we find ourselves, but to be that person, there has to be underlining facts we believe in and live our life by. This is because it is out of our laid down modes of operation and thought pattern we give judgment and respond to issues surrounding us. What we do not have we do not give.

I also wrote about Vision and its importance, seeing beyond and trying to pursue what we see to actualization, but the only way we can relate this to people so that they believe in us and in our vision is by the underlining principles we live by.

Principles are unchanging truths or general accepted facts, they give desired results when followed to detail. Principles define people and whoever trivializes the importance of principles is in for many struggles in his bid to achieve success. With this, I hope I have being able to make us see the importance of principles, why we should have them and live our lives by them.
