Life’s Most Important Subjects

Throughout history men and women have recognized that character is a very important factor in achieving true success in life. In fact, John D. Rockefeller said, “The MOST important thing for a young man is to establish a credit – a reputation, character.”

Character is the Foundation Stone of Success

R. C. Samsel said, “Character is the foundation stone upon which one must build to win respect. Just as no worthy building can be erected on a weak foundation, so no lasting reputation worthy of respect can be built on a weak character. Without character, all effort to attain dignity is superficial, and results are sure to be disappointing.”

Why Character Is So Important

Our Character is who we are when no one is looking. It is the set of qualities that define us as a person. Are you a truthful person? Or, are you deceptive? Do you have the quality of alertness? Or, are you careless? Are you dependable or inconsistent? Diligent or slothful?

It would be hard to overstate the importance of character. We need to be constantly reminded that Character Determines Success.
