C's:
Choices, Character,
Working with troubled teens for many years I find
myself still picking words that say the most in the shortest form and then
trying to get people to elaborate on their meaning.
Three of my favorite words then, and now, are:
choices, character and conduct.
Choices: "The
choices we make set which
Character
and Conduct: "Conduct is what we do; Character is what we are." — E.
M. Bounds
The site CharacterCounts.org teaches the six pillars of character. They are: Trustworthiness, Respect,
Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship.
There are even sites that teach ethics… Ethics in business, ethics in public administration, and ethics in sports.
As these things are taught more in our society,
people will be happier. We will believe
in mankind more, and not be as skeptical when someone does something nice
without looking for a reward.
When we give freely, we do reap the rewards in
recognizing our own self-worth and blessings we receive.
And yes we can make a difference in the world
today and in someone's life along the way ... and it's all free. It will not cost us one dime to accomplish.
We can be trustworthy. We can treat all people
with respect and fairness. We can show responsibility and caring in our homes
and in the communities in which we live, and being good citizens of the
community, the nation, the earth and the universe.
And today, right now, this very minute, you can make a difference in someone's life... It doesn't cost anything. It's a great choice and shows great character and conduct...
SMILE!
