Character

Besides our look, our character is what differentiate us from the next person. Character is the combination of behaviour, personality and quality of a person. It is who we are. It is also how people judge us. So, always bear in mind how you carry yourself, how you portray yourself. Of course, people could be absolutely wrong in their perception, but that is beside the point. The important thing is, where possible, be yourself.

Sometimes we portray a character quite different from who we really are, because social etiquette requires it, and at other times, our standing in society demand it. In the end, who we really are, only we will know. We can put on a false facade, and deceive all the people in the world, but we cannot deceive ourselves.

A good character is the only guarantee of everlasting, carefree happiness. - Seneca
