Now, let’s reduce it down to the half-dozen most important to you. Put a star by the values
you’re sure about. Then take the ones you feel are important but aren’t sure if they’re top-six
material and put them in pairs. Think about two of those values side by side, and ask yourself
which of the two is more important, eliminating the other urvivors against
each other until you’re down to six. If some of the values you listed are just two words describing
the same idea, combine them.
