Values should be learnt early. Otherwise, it would be too late. Once the living habits and living styles get set, it is very difficult to change them. There are four places where a child can learn values - from parents at home, from the teachers in the school, from the priests (or Gurus) in a temple or a church or a Gurukulam and through the media. Parents have the primary responsibility to implant values in the child.
We are not born merely to have a good time. There is something more - much more - to life. A man with moral values lives a noble life. A Gandhi lives with the courage of his convictions. When Martin Luther King was assassinated, the departed soul goes with a satisfied smile on its lips. The ones that remain behind wail and this agony shows on their souls.
Values are important, not only for the individuals and families, but they are equally important for business corporations too. It is now realized that the business corporations, which set values for their organizations and defended them jealously, prospered in the long run. Those that did not have values or those that compromised on them, slipped down in the ranking in the fortune 500 listing. Some of them have even disappeared altogether from the listing, eventually. The book "In search of Excellence" gives several examples.
The next thought is about “Values enrich our lives”
