Principles of Character

Your character is defined by what you do, not what you say or believe.

Every choice you make helps define the kind of person you are choosing to be.

Good character requires doing the right thing.

You don't have to take the worst behaviour of others as a standard for yourself. You can choose to be better than that.

What you do matters, and one person can make a BIG difference.

The payoff for having good character is that it makes you a better person and it makes the world a better place.
