Core Values
An Evolution
What does it take to be a good1 person?
This is a question I think most of us wonder about all our lives. Over the years, I’ve tried to find my own answer by defining a “Golden Trio”2 of 3 core values that I believe “good” people embody.
The Timeline
- 2007-2019: Courage, Self-Confidence, and Determination
- 2019-2024: Kindness, Integrity, and Determination/Dedication
- Current: Compassion, Integrity, and Determination
The Silver Trio
This secondary trio supports the Golden Trio.
Courage, Authenticity, and Curiosity

”Good” is a subjective term, but for our purposes whatever you have in your head is probably close enough. ↩

I Googled this to see if it’s a thing in general or specifically the Harry Potter fandom and it appears to be a “Potterhead” term. It is still how I think of it in my head though, so I’m going to keep it for now. Disclaimer: Although the Golden Trio does embody all these values, this post is unrelated to Harry Potter and I denounce the transphobic and otherwise discriminatory views J.K. Rowling perpetuates. ↩
