The first question that I am always asked when I talk about core values is, what are they? This is a great question and a good place for us to start. Core values are those things that we believe are more important than anything else. It is exactly this belief that gives the values their power to motivate. So, let's speak about this values. What does it mean 'to feel happy' to you?

1. What is your "profession"? How did you choose this profession? Do you think that you really had a choice or did your profession choose you in some way? Did you feel like you had a "calling" to pursue this profession? If you are still a student, what profession do you hope to have someday?

2. Do you think that a person can possess certain characteristics that make them appealing for specific professions? If so, can you give examples of this matching?
