Thought for the Day
“You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.”- Henry David Thoreau
The positive qualities that make you distinctive require hard work. Building a strong character requires more than good intentions, we must act to build admirable qualities. If someone compliments your character, you can take great pride knowing that it is a reflection of your hard work. Building a strong character requires more effort than falling into poor character traits. Do not settle for mediocre. Work hard and strive for excellence!
Today, do something that helps you build strong character traits.
