Invest in Character-building

It is said that 90% of an iceberg is invisibly submerged in water. That is what makes it dangerous to sailing ships. The same is true with a person’s character. It composes 90% of the person’s totality yet is it hidden from the eyes. It is the primary determinant of what types of situations can make or break that person. It is because that 90% composes of the mental, emotional, spiritual, and moral qualities of an individual. It can refer to characteristics like humility, courage, courtesy, patience, politeness, faith, pro-activeness, and perseverance – things which are easy to overlook but definitely essential in achieving victories in life however great or small. As young people, value the time when you still have plenty of room to make mistakes and receive correction as these are the keys to honing your maturity as a person.

Later on you’ll realize that once you become an adult, everyone will expect you to be mature enough to handle difficult situations and people. By that time, the effect of your decisions (good or bad) will have more weight, not only to you personally but to society as a whole.
