CONVERSATION. MY LIFE CREDO
Goals and objectives:
formation of their own stable life position of high school students;
motivation to analyze and synthesize their own views, actions and deeds of adolescents in relation to generally accepted moral and legal norms of being and life.
Conversation flow:
Social teacher: Guys, today I invite you to the discussion room, in which, of course, it is difficult to come to a common opinion, but thanks to the “free microphone” there is an opportunity to express your own point of view.
This does not mean at all that you can "carry nonsense." You already know certain rules for conducting a discussion, you heard about them at various training sessions, watched on TV, met on the Internet. The basic rules of our discussion room are quite simple: speak briefly and argue; respect the opinion of your comrades; convince, not prove; be able to stop in time.
So, our conversation is about the concept of a life position: what is it, does it exist at all, what are the types of a person’s life position, what is your life credo today?
Is living in harmony with the law a right or a duty?
Each of us has our own life position, our life credo. Does our own life position always coincide with the ethical and legal norms of being? Let's first turn to the dictionary and consider the essence of the term "life position".
“Life position is the direction of the life of the individual, her point of view on her place and role in public life(as opposed to social status, position). AT morally life position - a system of behavior of a person, determined by his convictions, ideology, conscience. A person's position on any socially significant issue is a life position insofar as it corresponds to the objective logic of the development of social reality, reflects the alignment of real social forces affecting this development. The criterion of the truth, the correctness of a particular life position is its compliance with the progressive trends in the development of society, the interests of advanced social forces. In order to determine the life position of people, it is necessary to find out what kind of social situation and how exactly their actions are determined. Life position is one of the most important signs personal development individual, determining his place in historical process. The formation of personality is at the same time a conscious choice by a person of one or another life position (moral choice). The content of the personal choice of a certain life position is ultimately determined by the ideals and values of society, class or social group to which the individual belongs. But this does not detract from the role of the subject himself, the individual in determining his attitude to the world. Life position is an expression of such social activity of a person, which is based on ideological certainty and adherence to principles, presupposes social consciousness. *
This definition was not chosen by chance. Think and give your opinion: this definition the term "life position", described in the reference book 25 years ago, can it be applied to the modern realities of the world and Russian society? (Possible reasoning guys).
According to modern scientists, educators and psychologists, a life position is a person's attitude to the world around him, expressed in his thoughts and actions.
Scientists also distinguish two main life positions:
passive (conformist), aimed at subjugation to the outside world, following circumstances;
active, aimed at transforming the surrounding world, control over the situation.
In turn, the conformist life position, according to scientists, can be:
authoritarian-conformist (a person in his behavior is guided by the behavior and views of some individual, very influential and authoritative person, as a rule, the leader of a team);
group-conformist (an individual, like other members of the group, strictly adheres to the norms adopted in the group);
social conformist (a separate individual obeys the norms of society and goes with the flow»); this behavior was especially characteristic of citizens of totalitarian states.
An active life position also has its facets:
active, independent behavior in relation to other individuals, but subordination to the leader of the group;
obedience to the norms of society, but the desire to lead in a group, team;
ignoring social norms and an active desire to "find oneself" outside of society - in a gang of criminals, among hippies, in other antisocial groups;
rejection of the norms of society, but the desire to independently and with the help of others to change the entire surrounding reality.
How do you feel about this opinion of scientists? How does each of you understand the terms "active" and "passive" life position? Argument your point of view. (Variants of reasoning of high school students).
Is doing good to people a life credo or a requirement of the law?
Social teacher: Guys, now express your point of view and, if possible, share the secrets of your life credo. To make it easier for you to enter into a discussion, I offer several problematic situations.
What do you think about the following life credo of your peer - a high school girl: “A person should always strive for something big and holy. He lives with hope only for the best. Collective farmers grow bread in the hope that they will reap a rich harvest. Chemists invent new drugs, thanks to which our medicine will become more modern. More and more products of electronic and computer equipment are included in our everyday life. But the most important thing in our life is communication between people. No technology, no achievements of science can replace people - the warmth of their hearts and the intelligence of their thoughts. I really want people all over the world to be friends with each other, visit each other, rejoice in communication, share good news, respect the elders, and not offend the little ones. After all, human life is so short! And we must try to do as many good deeds as possible in order to leave a good mark on the souls of people. But in recent times it is more and more difficult to combine good qualities in people. Life tries to make us rude and cruel, to bring us to our knees. I want to help in some way, but I don't know how. But how to survive these years? My position in life is not to panic, to boldly move forward, to work honestly.”
And here is the life credo of another high school student: “I think that in life everyone should find their place, and faithful comrades and friends can help him in this. I dream of a highly paid position, and only my true friends will help me get it, because their parents have a certain weight in society. At present, I am not at all interested in many of my classmates, what is happening in the world; I am busy with the main thing for me at the present time - studying, acquiring knowledge in order to successfully enter the prestigious university. In my free time, I communicate only with a group of my true friends and I hope that they will help me in my further studies and employment.”
(Possible reasoning of high school students.)
What do you think, if modern life managed to get known to you literary heroes: Luke and satin from "At the Bottom" by M. Gorky, Vronsky and Karenin from "Anna Karenina" by L. Tolstoy, who would live easier? Who is faster and why would be able to find their place in modern world?
(Possible reasoning of high school students.)
Do you think there is a place for mercy in the modern world? Are mercy and altruism always disinterested? In what case, for example, showing mercy and compassion for a disabled person, do we show true mercy, and not humiliation of the personal dignity of a person with disabilities?
Recently, the term "life position" has often been used during various election campaigns. How do you feel about it? Is your personal life position always, for example, during elections to state or local authorities authorities, can affect the situation in the region or even in the country? How do you feel about all-Russian actions aimed at shaping the citizenship of young people, about youth-political movements of various directions?
(Possible reasoning of high school students)
Give examples famous people(scientists or actors, politicians or musicians, businessmen or delinquents; representatives of the authorities, culture, education or industry of your city or village), whose position in life you like. Justify your choice.
(Possible reasoning of high school students).
I choose a life without crime!
Social teacher: So, judging by your opinions and the opinions of scientists, we can conclude that the life position is the most pronounced and therefore the main components of the orientation of the personality of any person. This is a kind of reaction of the individual to the world, which has two aspects: internal - worldview and external - activity. The activity aspect of a person's life position is a conscious choice, which includes a way to carry out an act (one's own action).
From point of view psychological science the main neoplasm in early youth is personal self-determination. The basis of self-determination in older adolescence and youthful age is value orientations, the active determination of one's position regarding the socially developed system of values, and the determination on this basis of the meaning of one's own existence. Value orientations are elements of the personality structure that characterize the content side of its orientation. Choosing in life any sphere of activity, a person chooses the corresponding values. A change in activity most often entails significant changes in the value sphere of the individual. The basis for revising the systems of personal values and behavior patterns may be such life factors as a severe, incurable illness, loss of a loved one, loss of property and housing, life experience, and vice versa: the impact of a favorable social environment(sudden "entry" into the world of bohemia or business), the acquisition of housing in a comfortable residential area or in another country, etc.
The formation of a life position or life credo in early youth can also be influenced by such factors as the socio-cultural environment, peer group, family situation, modern information and communication technologies, customs and traditions of a particular region (republic, territory, region, city or village). ) etc. The main thing is that from early adolescence a person should form the conviction that he is not a “grain of sand in a world of chaos”, but a full-fledged person who is quite capable of surviving in society, benefiting someone and getting satisfaction from being. For this, it is necessary already in early youth to tune yourself only to positive motives of life: “I am capable”, “I am no worse than others”, “And I can do it if I try” “And I have this talent, I just need to develop it”, “And life, it turns out, is beautiful!”
"My life and professional credo"
Each person has his own life and professional credo. Creed means "I believe". I believe that I will become a professional specialist in the field of education, I am sure that I will make my contributions to the profession, as well as achieve my goals.
My life credo can be expressed in the words of S. Johnson: “To live means to continuously move forward.” Why exactly his words are taken as the basis, I’ll explain simply, I like to discover something new every day, find unusual things in an ordinary gray day, and most importantly, I’m not afraid of life’s failures, because they, as a rule, on the contrary harden my body and make me stronger as a person. In my opinion, if I remain inactive and lazy, then there will be no chance at all to change my future life.
I learned to value my life, my time and those people who are there, no matter what. That is why I abandoned those thoughts and deeds that I wasted, not benefiting myself or others. In my opinion, life is a kind of adventure in which I should not sit in one place, I must feed myself with diverse emotions and learn self-improvement skills, because there is only one life, and I must live it with dignity.
If we talk about my professional credo, I want to note that I chose my profession "Teacher" not by chance.
And so it happened, my little childhood dream turned into reality, I grew up and entered College of Education for the profession that I wanted and I don’t regret a bit that I chose it.
When I come to school to give lessons to the younger generation, my heart stops for a minute .. and it seems that I plunged into my childhood, because standing in front of the blackboard, I turn into the very little girl I was .. but then I remember that the years have flown by, and I’m not at all that crumb, but five minutes to a teacher .. I love children very much, I always catch their enthusiastic looks and try not only to show how I know the material, but also to teach them new methods and techniques. After the lessons, I like to see my result, which is reflected in the knowledge of children. As the great philosopher Confucius said: “Having chosen a goal, go towards it with all your heart!”, this phrase probably reflects my life and professional credo, because. I am not just a future teacher who will teach the child in the disciplines they need, I will be a teacher-friend who will give all his love and heart to children, and will also teach you to believe in yourself!
With a sense of confidence, I can easily say that "I'm in the right place!"
We live according to social laws, without them our life would turn into chaos. But do we ourselves have our internal laws, some kind of life credo that we are guided by in life? Surely there are, only these principles are not clearly defined and formulated. We think little about what guides us when we make our choice, when we decide what to do.
- Having formulated our life credo, we will be able to clearly identify for ourselves our principles and life values, i.e basis own life.
- We will get a kind of compass that will enable us to see where we want to go (our goals) and how we can get there, that is orientation own life.
- We will find support in life's troubles, that is, the necessary strength.
We do not always remember our values, our plans, falling into the trap of things that are not important to us, not subordinate to our goals and true desires, imposed on us by other people or circumstances.
But seeing our guide clearly in front of us, we will be able to weed out those things that run counter to our goals and true desires.
I believe that a person should have a certain Code in which he will write down not only his life principles, but also his successes, accumulated experience, as well as his own expectations from life.
By referring to it every day, we can act as a whole person, accept right decisions without reacting to other people's emotions or adverse circumstances.
How to make your life credo?
The life creed is:
- the way you want to be (character)
- what you want to do (achievements and contributions)
- your principles and values (the basis of actions and life in general)
Think over each of the three points, describe them in detail. Let everything be simple and extremely honest.
These provisions will become the standard and basis for making important and everyday decisions. They will give strength, the ability to withstand life's adversities, changes and upheavals. This is the core, your core, which is not subject to change.
Often we take on some tedious task that will bring us neither joy nor benefit, so when you are approached with such requests and suggestions, go through your list of goals and values \u200b\u200band ask yourself if this activity will move you towards your goals .
Principles don't always help in life. Strictly following them, we miss new opportunities, become less flexible, they interfere with communication and relationships. But they are necessary, because it is on them that we can rely on in difficult times, in times of doubt. After checking with them, make a difficult choice.
“Principles are like a hard bed that is uncomfortable to sleep on, but which forms a good spine.”
For those who have decided to work on themselves, I offer the Success Diary - a classic diary with applications for achieving success and working on yourself
Life credo, examples.
For men:
No compromise on honesty. Be mindful of the people around you. Make judgments after listening to both sides. Listen to the advice of others. Intercede for those who are absent. Be sincere and at the same time decisive. Develop a new ability every year. Plan for tomorrow today. Waiting, do not sit idle. Maintain a positive attitude. Maintain a sense of humor. Maintain order in your personal life and at work. Not to be afraid of mistakes - to be afraid only of the lack of a creative, constructive and corrective reaction to these mistakes. Contribute to the success of subordinates. Listen twice as long as talk. Concentrate all your abilities and efforts on the task at hand, without worrying about the next one or about promotion.
For women:
I will try to maintain a balance between my family and work responsibilities, as both are important to me. My home will be a place where I and my family, our friends and guests will find joy, comfort, peace and happiness. I will not go too far, taking care of cleanliness and order, since the house, in addition, should be habitable and comfortable. I will be wise in choosing what we eat, read, watch and do at home. In particular, I want to teach my children to love, learn and laugh, as well as work and develop their talents. I will always try to keep myself from harmful and destructive habits. I will develop skills that will free me from old labels and limitations and empower me. My money will serve me, not dominate me. I will strive to achieve financial independence. I will subordinate my desires to my needs and possibilities. I will spend less than I earn and regularly save a portion of my income.
A few quotes that can form the basis of a life credo:
Push your boundaries! I always do what I don't know how to learn it. (Pablo Picasso)
Inspiration exists, but it must come during work. (Pablo Picasso)
The one who can be happy alone is a real person. If your happiness depends on others, then you are a slave, you are not free. (Osho)
The most important thing is to bring order to the soul. We observe three “not”: we do not complain, we do not blame, we do not make excuses. (Bernard Show)
Most people are only as happy as they choose to be. (A. Lincoln)
People who do not have very few virtues. (A. Lincoln)
Those who wait passively, in the end, receive what they expected, but only what was left after those who acted energetically. (A. Lincoln)
I don't have a good enough memory to lie. (A. Lincoln)
If you want to succeed, keep believing in yourself even when no one else believes in you. (K.Marx)
Look at the life principles that I try to be guided by in life. Quotes about can also form the basis of life principles and your personal credo.
How to write a life credo for a resume
Some things that guide you in life and work.
To create a life credo for a resume, you need to build on the specifics of the job you are applying for, but there are also universal qualities that are welcomed by employers. As a rule, these are: energy, initiative, efficiency, stress resistance, ability to analyze, creativity, ability to work in a team, communicate with people.
Which are valued, it is not difficult to learn from job responsibilities and draw up your life credo based on the required skills and personal qualities. For doctors, teachers, lawyers, a life credo can be written based on the ethical codes of these professions.
For example, to work as a copywriter, you need the following skills:
Ability to quickly dive into an unfamiliar topic, search necessary literature, work with various sources, analytical mindset, curiosity, the ability to approach the solution of a problem outside the box, creatively, competent oral and written language, the ability to express one's thoughts figuratively and intelligibly, the ability to work in a team, and in any situation and in a state of time pressure. Interpersonal communication skills, the ability to convince, prove, competently defend one's point of view.
Based on this, a life credo for work might look like this:
The principles that guide my work are: “Learn something new every day, be open to gaining new knowledge and experience so that life is filled with meaning. Think creatively, as creativity makes the result of any activity unique, and makes you feel happy from the process itself. Avoid stereotypes, because they limit opportunities, and the results of labor become the same and are of little value to others.
Everything I learn, I analyze, as this gives me the opportunity to find something truly valuable in the abundance of information. With the help of analysis, I can effectively and quickly solve complex problems, draw the right logical conclusions, see the problem from different points of view and find the optimal solution. Always weighing the pros and cons, I try to convince readers to listen to my point of view without imposing it. I strive for literacy, as it is a manifestation of politeness to readers, as well as scrupulousness and scrupulousness in the selection and verification of facts. I try to remain calm in any situation, because emotions and impulses prevent me from making an important decision, to act rationally, deprive me of strength and self-confidence. But I also see the benefit of stressful situations, which contribute to the mobilization of internal resources and a creative breakthrough, help to find new, unexpected ideas.”
Life credo for business, universal principles:
Obligation: Promised - fulfill.
Organized: I maintain order in affairs and plans.
Constructiveness: Without emotions for mutual benefit (win-win).
Stress resistance: Be self-possessed, and be able to repel an attack.
Impartiality: To be on the side of the truth.

Just typed these interesting thoughts. Each credo is carefully checked for personal experience. Be sure to print this information and read for 30 days 2 times a day!
So, 20 creeds for a successful life:
- Implement the received valuable information immediately into life, there is no point in accumulating information without the practice of implementation.
- Take responsibility for everything that happens to you in life. Do not try to change the world, everything that surrounds you is a reflection of your inner convictions. By changing your beliefs, you will change the world.
- Save time, it is the only irreplaceable resource.
- Protect your mind: don't watch TV, don't read negative news, don't associate with negative people.
- Consciously shape your environment: surround yourself with people who pull you up to your goals. Do not communicate with people who drag you down, even if you are attached to them, you have one life, do not change your life for imaginary obligations of communication and affection.
- Think carefully before giving the floor. Weigh all the pros and cons. Dare to say “no”. But once you've given your word, keep it no matter what.
- Be grateful to those who deserve gratitude. Love those who deserve love. Help those who deserve help. By doing the opposite, you lie and harm those you help. deceive them by depriving them of adequate feedback.
- Self-confidence develops only as a result of fulfilling the commitments made to oneself. A person who does not keep promises made to himself loses confidence. A person who is rigidly true to his word - increases self-confidence.
- Set ambitious goals. Embed your goals in the subconscious, only goals embedded in the subconscious become reality. Once the subconscious mind has accepted the goal, trust your intuition, let the subconscious mind do its job.
- Plan on paper the next day on the evening of the previous one.
- Make a Visualization Board, place images of your goals on it, write down the monetary income that you want to achieve in the near future. Hang the board next to your computer so you can always see it with your peripheral vision.
- Visualize your dreams for at least 3 minutes every day.
- Say affirmations, write them down on the player and listen while traveling in transport. Remember that there is a time delay between "subconscious target capture" and reality, be patient.
- Expect little results from little effort. Give your 110%. Only SUPER efforts create real results in life!
- Be honest with yourself. Self-deception and silence about problems cause the most suffering in life. Tell yourself honestly: “Yes, I have a problem …, in order to solve it, you need to get rid of the following limiting beliefs: …. and replace them with new ones: ... ". The results never lie, if you are poor, then you have negative beliefs about money, if you are sick, then there is a negative about health. By hiding the problem, you deprive yourself of the chance to develop.
- Work on your thinking every day. Only by changing your thinking, attitudes, beliefs you change your life.
- Do not judge people, they are what they are, take care of yourself. Do not teach, but silently show by example. This is the only way to change others.
- Do not lie, lies always come back and hurt their creator very much.
- Treat yourself as a part common organism(city, country, planet, universe). Develop and help the body, it will repay you with kindness, resources, money, success.
- Don't radiate the energy of "need", but radiate the energy of "gratitude". Need slows down progress, creates restrictions, deprives of freedom. Gratitude frees up resources, improves mood, makes free!
I will be very grateful to you for your comments!
Since we live in a society, in a state of law, it means that each of us has to comply with certain rules, norms and laws, whether we like it or not. But in addition to the mandatory and generally accepted orders, most people have their own life principles that they adhere to. Many do not even think deeply about this, because these beliefs are often formed from early childhood, instilled by parents, relatives, and teachers.
In order to confidently move towards your goal and not waste your time on trifles, psychologists recommend clearly defining a personal motto, or life credo.
What will it give you specifically?
Imagine that life is some kind of plant. In order for it to germinate and grow, it needs good, fertile soil, sun and water.
- the life principles and values that you have defined, which are important to you personally, will give you the basis for success.
- secondly, having formulated his life credo, a person will see and determine for himself the path to achieve the goal. Those. the germinated seed of our plant moves towards the light and the sun, grows and gives the first leaves.
- and, finally, man draws strength. The life motto invigorates, adds energy, inspires, motivates. This is comparable to the water so necessary for a plant to bear fruit.
It often happens that a person gets involved in a routine, monotonous chores and worries, spinning like a squirrel in a wheel along the home-work-home route, completely forgetting about his dreams, goals and values. And if we define a life credo, then this motivates us to act, helps us to concentrate on the goal and weed out the wheat from the chaff.
It is important not only to formulate a life credo in your head, but also to transfer it to paper, where the motto for life will be written down, values, goals, expectations, and also your steps towards the cherished goal will be determined. Every time you don’t know what to do, in which direction to move, refer to these notes and analyze whether you are on the right path, whether you are heading in a detour, whether nothing is stopping you.
To make a personal motto or life credo, you need:
- Honestly and in detail describe how you want to see yourself (externally and internally, describe the character).
- Write down your goals, what you want to achieve, what to do.
- Define life principles and values. Don't give up on them, no matter how hard it gets. This will give you the strength to make important decisions, to make the right but difficult choice. You should not have any doubts: this is how it is and nothing else.
Examples of a life motto (credo)
- To be able to say "no" - so that others do not use you for selfish purposes.
- Do not throw words into the wind, bring everything to the end - so as not to pass for an unreliable and irresponsible person.
- Do not respond with rudeness to rudeness, do not throw out bad emotions on others - i.e. be stress resistant.
- To observe order in everything is discipline.
- Do not sit idle, master new skills, gain new knowledge - that is, develop in different areas.
We are sure that the motto will help you in life, will become a guarantee of victories.
