Prince William's Guiding Principles

Prompt: "My guiding principles in life are to be honest, genuine, thoughtful and caring." Prince William Do you agree with Prince William?

Do I agree with what Prince William says about himself? I wouldn’t know exactly if the Prince is really honest, genuine, thoughtful and caring, but since he says these are his guiding principles, I’d take his word for it. My impression of him, from what the media reflects, is very good, though.

Since he is a prince and is in a leadership position (and he might become a king sooner or later), I think his basic guiding principles need additions, such as: seeking excellence in his endeavors, challenging himself always, being a coach, partner, or a mentor to those who seek his advice, being self-aware and checking his ego often, helping talents in the kingdom to succeed.

Yet, Prince William’s basic guiding principles are good for me, too; although, I would like to be following those and other high ideals without being conscious of them or voicing them openly. Those things should become parts of me like my skin or internal organs, and I don’t really talk about my skin or internal organs, do I!
