What values would you choose to become a better human being.

That is what I asked Perplexity.ai.  While everyone’s answers might look different depending on culture, beliefs, or personal experiences, here are eight values that many people find meaningful for becoming a better human being:

  1. Compassion – The ability to empathize with others and act with kindness, even when it’s difficult.

  2. Integrity – Being honest and consistent in your words and actions, even when no one is watching.

  3. Humility – Recognizing your strengths and weaknesses without arrogance; being open to learning and growth.

  4. Respect – Valuing the dignity, boundaries, and perspectives of others, including those different from your own.

  5. Gratitude – Cultivating appreciation for life’s gifts, both big and small, and expressing thanks often.

  6. Responsibility – Taking ownership of your choices, actions, and their impact on others and the world.

  7. Perseverance – Showing dedication and resilience, especially when things are hard or uncertain.

  8. Curiosity – Maintaining a lifelong desire to learn, grow, and understand yourself and the world more deeply.
