II. Output:

- Starts here below…

Self-Direction is “independent thought and action--choosing, creating,

exploring”. It is the “organismic needs for control and mastery and
interactional requirements of autonomy and independence”. Self-Direction is
being independent and at the same time learn and master new things while
being creative.
 I chose Self-Direction as my chosen value. I believe it is very
important in living a moral life. Self-direction is being to rely on yourself
without help from others. It is choosing to act rather than using words to
make a difference. It is where we create things that makes living easier. It is
also exploring new ideas and looking for change that could benefit the
community aside from ourselves. The value that opposes my chosen value
tradition. Tradition might prevent us from growing and learning. It should be
valued but should not be an obstacle of change.

Self-Direction, for me, guides me in living a moral life. It gave strength

and intelligence to handle problems. It has helped me strive the hardships of
life.
