Thank you Peter, that was a great article and a very interesting exercise (which took me a few days and iteration to complete).
I landed on:
Internal honesty
Doing Good
Ambition
I feel strongly about them, and have in my mind what it means, but struggled to translate to sentences. This is what I came up with:
Doing good - I improve lives through my actions (not chasing quick money, not working on things that will hurt or not benefit other humans)
Internal Honesty - I behave authentically (I wanted to add about speaking the truth, but I feel it's very hard for me to measure up to that. Not always being nice and saying 'white lies'. The point is to listen within and do the things I want and believe in, and not be guided by pleasing others).

Ambition - I aim higher than is reasonable.
Thank you for the kind words, Anton! I'm happy to hear you took some time to really go through the exercise. I hope & suspect you'll be glad you did.
While doing this once won't give you "all the answers", it's a strong starting place to grow & learn from over time.
“They are never one word” - such a simple but practical rule, and I feel like this is pretty counter to most of the examples you see. Love it!
Thanks Dave! Works great for company core values too :)
