Character . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Jim Rohn (JimRohn.com)
"Character is not something you were born with and can’t change like your fingerprint. In fact, because you weren’t born with it, it is something that you must take responsibility for creating. I don’t believe that adversity by itself builds character and I certainly don’t think that success erodes it. Character is built by how you respond to what happens in your life. Whether it’s winning every game or losing every game. Getting rich or dealing with hard times. You build character out of certain qualities that you must create and diligently nurture within yourself."
 Focal Scoir                                                         . James Thurber.
"Let us not look back in anger, or forward in fear, but around in awareness."
