Character Building: The Abcs of Building Depth and Strength of Character

While some seem to have been born with an innate sense of character, for most people, character is an acquired trait. It is the result of a continuing effort to do the right thing, choosing thoughts and actions that are strong, confident, brave, kind, loving, helpful, and positive.

We only need to look to the past to find role models with strong, deep character – people like George Washington, John Adams, Abe Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa, and Gandhi.

This lively collection of essays about qualities that build character, as well as those that undermine it. This a must-read for anyone seeking to learn profound lessons on life.
