The word "credo" comes from Latin, translated "I believe, I believe." In the modern world, this concept refers to beliefs, the foundations of a worldview. In religious terms, it is a symbol of faith (Catholic Church).
Creed in human life
What guides our actions when a decision is made? Psychologists usually talk about internal laws, beliefs. Having formulated your life credo, you can:

Principles do not always help on the path of life. If you follow them, flexibility in behavior is lost, new opportunities are missed. However, it is they who turn out to be the necessary link that helps to make the most responsible decision in life.
Principles
There are universal principles that allow you to influence the worldview:
- The information received is immediately put into practice. There is no point in accumulating it without the possibility of application.
- Take responsibility for every decision you make. Do not change the world, start with yourself. By correcting your beliefs, you will change the world.
- Consciously shape your environment. Let only those who give the opportunity to grow, achieve their goals be near. Do not change your life for imaginary obligations and attachments.
- Develop confidence, for this you need to fulfill all the obligations given to yourself.
- Set ambitious goals, implement them in the subconscious. As soon as they are "in the subcortex", they begin to be realized.
- Work on your thinking every day: do not judge other people, do not radiate the energy of need. The latter slows down progress, deprives of freedom.
Employment Creed
Some employers are asked to talk about the credo. This is done in order to see the applicant from the other side. When compiling it, one should rely on the specifics of the activity that is planned to be carried out.
There are universal qualities that will help with this. These include stress resistance, performance, teamwork and others. Try to sketch some wordings in advance on a piece of paper. This will help you not only look in the best light before your employer, but also engage in future self-analysis and your own development.
The creed may look in the form of principles by which a person is guided in work. For example, “You need to learn something new every day, to be open to gaining experience. Then life will be filled with meaning. ”
What is a political credo?
It refers to political beliefs and views. They are a reflection of the prevailing view of the principles of social and political life. The concept includes an understanding of the nature of power, the political functional and the system as a whole.
Political credo is connected on the one hand with the comprehension by each person of the social and political sphere of their life, with the search for their place in the system. Aspiration forms an estimated position. On the other hand, the worldview can be universal. In this case, it turns into a political ideology.
The credo in politics has three main functions:
- Coordination. It forms common goals in society, creates patterns for behavior, and forms an attitude towards a particular event.
- Integrating. The creed unites the views, ideas, forming the integrity inherent in each member of society.
- Guide. Faith allows you to unite society, make it move towards its goal.
The main characteristic of a political creed is its integrity and ability to provide the right connections when forming a picture of reality. In it is always present a subjective, formed taking into account life experience. Any information passes through the personal, therefore, as a result, it is either rejected or accepted.
Creed in Science
It refers to beliefs based on principles and laws that have been repeatedly verified by scientific methods and confirmed by real life. A credo is not synonymous with truth, nor is an intuitive worldview or philosophical system. All these concepts are only approaches to it.
A scientific credo is being formed on the basis of such components as knowledge, beliefs, ideals, norms. The substantive component is knowledge, and beliefs are the emotional and moral attitude to the former.
As in other areas, for many people, religion has influenced the formation of a scientific creed. In the era of the defense of natural science, science was opposed to religion. If the latter refers to a greater degree to the emotional side of man, is based more on faith, then for science the world exists by itself.
