Terri's Tuesday Tip of the Week - October 24, 2023

 Good character is the single most important attribute of a successful and worthy life. - Michael Josephson

Character is more important than intelligence for success. – Gilberte Beaux

When the author thinks of character, she thinks of various words, so she decided to see what Merriam-Webster defined it as.  Character is “one of the attributes (see ATTRIBUTE entry 1 sense 1) or features that make up and distinguish an individual”.

In last week’s tip, the story of John Stephen Akhwari was discussed.  Akhwari had setbacks when he was running the marathon, but his character was strong, and he finished the marathon no matter what challenges he encountered.

When the author heard this story, she thought about her own life.  It has not been an easy year and she has had some difficult times.  Through the challenges, the author hopes that her character has been strong and showed through. 

Many things will come and go, but one’s character will last forever.

ACTION: Through difficult times, how does your character hold up?  What can you do to work on that going forward?
