\n\t\nLoading quote…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\t\nCharacter is much more than reputation.\u00a0 Reputation is only what others see and think about you. Your character is the\u00a0real<\/em> you!\u00a0 <\/strong>It is who you really<\/em> <\/strong>are, even when no one is watching!
\n\nOur Character<\/em> is made up of specific Character Traits, or Qualities, that determine how we will respond to the events, situations and circumstances of our lives.<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Each of us, as individuals, have some character qualities that are more positive and some that are more negative.<\/em> Some are stronger and others are weaker.\u00a0 It is those character traits, or qualities, that determine how we will respond in any given situation.<\/p>\n
For example, someone who has a strong character trait of alertness<\/em>\u00a0will likely to be a better, safer, driver than a person who does not see or recognize the potential dangers around him (carelessness).\u00a0 A person with a strong character quality of truthfulness <\/em>is much more likely to accurately report the facts in a given situation than a person who is characterized by deceptiveness. \u00a0A person with the character quality of endurance<\/em> will keep on going when the “going gets tough” instead of giving up.<\/p>\n
How We Respond Determines the Results We Get<\/strong><\/h2>\n
The results we\u00a0<\/strong>achieve<\/b> in any given situation depend, more than anything else, on how we respond to the events and circumstances we are facing.\u00a0 And, it is our character traits that determine how we will respond to those events and circumstances.\u00a0 Therefore,\u00a0 it really is our character that determines our success.<\/p>\n
Of course, that doesn’t mean that “good” people will always experience more “success” than “bad” people.\u00a0 There are, however, some character traits that tend to lead to “success” and others that tend to produce “failure.”<\/p>\n
The question then, is, “What are the “good,” or “positive,” character traits, and how can we strengthen them<\/strong>, and what are “bad” (“negative”) qualities and how can we minimize them<\/strong>?<\/p>\n
