Three factors that shape good character -children special

 A good character is not built overnight. It is made good and strong by many repeated acts. Character should not be confused with reputation. Character is like a tree and reputation is like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it but the tree is the real object. You cannot have a good character just by dreaming about one. It cannot be changed as frequently as you change your clothes. By repeated acts of goodness we have to carve a good character.

 You cannot make anything out of rusted iron or rotten wood. Shaping of a good character is a long and steady process. Public opinion or reputation does not necessarily reveal the true character.

 The truth about character is revealed by habits. The good habits are called virtues while the bad habits are called vices. Those who posses’ virtues are said to have a good character but those who possess vices are said to have a bad character.

 When wealth is lost, a little is lost; when health is lost, a lost; but when character is lost, everything is lost. A person’s strength of character is revealed by his ability to control his temper. We must all try to build a good and noble character.
