Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent,

a gift. Good character, by contrast,

is not given to us. We have to build it piece by piece,

by thought, choice, courage, and determination.

What is LIFE?

Life is a time period between your ‘birth’ and

the ultimate and certain – ‘death’

And, it’s full of CHOICESCHOICES……

You choose how you want it to be.

You sow a thought, you reap an action.

You sow an action, you reap a habit. You sow a habit, you reap a

character. You sow a character, you reap a

destiny.

The essence of a person is his character –

make yours unique, unblemished and strong.
