You mean that you should not hide of the difference between values and behavior?

Because there's nothing on that comment that actually supports the difference. And if you are being honest, descriptive values should describe your behavior very closely.

The thing you're struggling with is the parent's humility.

Value: be great at everything all the time

Parent: I try very hard but often fail

You: then you must be dishonest about your values

Humility is a virtue not a vice.

Not the OP, but that situation seems to indicate espousing unrealistic values at the least or am I misreading what you are saying?

> then you must be dishonest about your values

Hum, no, but then he is talking about the "aspirational values" that the GP pointed.
