The Importance of Good Character
Why is character important? Why is it important to be a person of good morals, ethics, and character? Can that make you more productive in life, family, school, business, work, etc. ?
Well, good moral, ethics, and character has NEVER hurt anyone.
President Abraham Lincoln once said, "Reputation is the shadow. Character is the tree." To many, this quote means that Character is like a tree which bears the shadow of their reputation whether it be good or bad.
"I have no regrets in my life. I think that everything happens to you for a reason. The hard times that you go through build character, making you a much stronger person." - Rita Moreno
As seen in these quotes, character is important, and it determines your reputation in life. It is also a 'thing' that is built up when you go through something in your life.

You'd have to know this in order to have one right? Of course!! According to The Character Training Institute, there are 49 specific, definite, character qualities that YOU need to have a good/positive character.

Could it be that youth today are 'empowered' to do whatsoever they choose, so they have no guidance ? Could it be that the 'laws' of today are set up to make people fail in life, relationships, communication, school, business, etc. ? Proverbs 29: 15 says, The rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother. (NIV) (c)1984 (Also brings disgrace to his/her father). I didn't write it.... It's in the Bible! It doesn't matter who or what you believe in, all that matters is that this is the truth!
