Understanding Universal Human Values to Fulfil Our Aspirations in Continuity –

Universal Human Values (UHV) are ethical principles that apply to all people, cultures, and societies.
They help individuals fulfill aspirations (goals in life) in a continuous and sustainable way by ensuring
harmony within oneself, relationships, society, and nature.

Examples of UHV in Achieving Aspirations Continuously:

1. Value: Truthfulness 🏆
 Aspirations: Success, trust, and credibility.
 Example: A businessperson who practices honesty gains long-term success because
customers trust their products and services. In contrast, a dishonest business might make
quick money but will fail over time.
2. Value: Respect 🤝
 Aspirations: Strong relationships, social harmony.
  Example: A family that respects each member's opinions creates a peaceful home. In
contrast, disrespect leads to conflicts and emotional distress.
3. Value: Responsibility 🎯
 Aspirations: Stability, reliability, success.
 Example: A student who takes responsibility for studying regularly achieves long-term
knowledge and career success, while an irresponsible student struggles with exams and
future opportunities.

4. Value: Compassion ❤️

 Example: A doctor treating patients with care not only heals others but also feels inner
fulfilment and respect in society.
5. Value: Justice ⚖️

whereas injustice leads to social unrest and suffering.
6. Value: Sustainability 🌱

environmental protection, whereas companies that exploit resources unsustainably face
crises in the future.

Complementarity of Values and Skills –

 Values are ethical principles that guide behavior (e.g., honesty, respect, responsibility).
 Skills are abilities or expertise that help accomplish tasks (e.g., communication, leadership,
problem-solving).
 Complementarity means that values and skills work together to create better outcomes.
While values shape a person’s character, skills determine how effectively they apply those
values in real life.

Example 1: A Doctor
 Value: Compassion – A doctor cares for patients with empathy.
 Skill: Medical expertise – A doctor diagnoses and treats illnesses effectively.
 Complementarity: A doctor with both compassion and medical expertise provides the best
patient care. A skilled but rude doctor may lose patient trust, while a kind but unskilled
doctor cannot treat properly.

Example 2: A Leader/Manager
 Value: Integrity – A leader is honest and ethical in decision-making.
 Skill: Decision-making – A leader can analyze problems and make strategic choices.
 Complementarity: A leader who has both integrity and decision-making skills earns respect
and makes fair, effective decisions. Without integrity, they may misuse power, and without
decision-making skills, they may struggle to lead efficiently.

Example 3: A Teacher
 Value: Patience – A teacher understands that students learn at different paces.
 Skill: Communication – A teacher explains concepts clearly and effectively.
 Complementarity: A patient and communicative teacher helps students succeed. A patient
but unclear teacher may confuse students, while a clear but impatient teacher may
discourage learning.
Conclusion
Values and skills must complement each other for success. Skills allow people to perform tasks, while
values ensure they do so ethically and responsibly.

More Examples of Complementarity of Values and Skills

 Skill: Conflict Resolution – Can handle tense situations calmly.
 Complementarity: A police officer who values justice and has conflict resolution skills can

skills may struggle in tough situations, while a skilled officer without justice may misuse
authority.

3. Engineer
 Value: Responsibility – Ensures work is safe and reliable.
