Do You Have Good Character Or are You Just A Character
Character is based on six pillars which I will get into shortly. The point I want to make is you need character to succeed and flourish in this new world of ours. You need strong character to feel good about yourself and your ablility to contribute to the world we live in. You need good character to pass on to your children and fellow man the good that surrounds us every day, good that we sometimes overlook.
I personally think it's our duty to practice good character and aid our fellow beings anytime we can. You know what it sure makes you feel good.
I am going to explore the attributes I believe are needed to have that good Character. So here we go.
Trustworthiness
Be honest • Don’t deceive, cheat, or steal • Be reliable — do what you say you’ll do • Have the courage to do the right thing • Build a good reputation • Be loyal — stand by your family, friends, and country.
Respect
Treat others with respect; follow the Golden Rule • Be tolerant and accepting of differences • Use good manners, not bad language • Be considerate of the feelings of others • Don’t threaten, hit or hurt anyone • Deal peacefully with anger, insults, and disagreements
Responsibility
Do what you are supposed to do • Plan ahead • Persevere: keep on trying! • Always do your best • Use self-control • Be self-disciplined • Think before you act — consider the consequences • Be accountable for your words, actions, and attitudes • Set a good example for others
Fairness
Play by the rules • Take turns and share • Be open-minded; listen to others • Don’t take advantage of others • Don’t blame others carelessly • Treat all people fairly
Caring
Be kind • Be compassionate and show you care • Express gratitude • Forgive others • Help people in need
Citizenship
Do your share to make your school and community better • Cooperate • Get involved in community affairs • Stay informed; vote • Be a good neighbor • Obey laws and rules • Respect authority • Protect the environment • Volunteer
These principles were taken from a book titled Making Ethical Decisions.
I only hope today's business person or entrepenaur uses these ethical decisions when dealing with his fellow man or woman.

Hey Paul
ReplyDeleteYour "character" is everything, it affects what you do and how people react to you.
Nice post!

Hey Paul,
ReplyDeletePersonal integrity means a lot to me and I believe that you must have it if you are to succeed in this business or in your personal life. You gave a great measure to support those traits which are absolutely necessary to build strong character and value integrity in yourself and how to find it in others.
Great Post, Thanks for sharing,
Kevin
