Character Is Everything: What Is Diligence?
A journalist asked Thomas Edison, “What do you think is the first requirement]for success?” “The ability to apply your physical and mental energies to one problem incessantly,” replied the inventor, “without growing weary.” Diligence is more than being busy. It is a quality of dedication. According to Edison, Diligence is applying “physical and mental energies” to the problem at hand “without growing weary” - that is, without losing interest before the task is done. A person who exhibits the character quality of diligence knows how to invest all of their energies into a task that is assigned to him or her and doesn’t allow difficult circumstances to interfere with their progress, and certainly knows how to keep their eye on the prize and press forward to the finish line.
Character Is Everything: What Is Kindness?
What is the kindest thing that someone has done for you lately? Have you tried to do something kind for someone? What do we usually think about when we think about kindness? Things like opening the door for others, being nice to the cashier at the store, leaving a generous tip for the waiter, sending a card of thanks. What do you think of when you think of kindness?
All of these are good things. Typically, kindness is equated with being polite or nice. Some years ago a movement started that called people to practice random acts of kindness. In other words, be nice and be polite, even to a stranger. I am not sure if the goal was to make people feel better about themselves or to make the world a better place. Either way, both are good things. I do find it amazing though that society had to create a slogan to remind people that they should treat one another in a kind and considerate manner. Everyone wants to be treated kindly by others, but most people will only treat another person in a kind manner if they are treated with kindness first. In other words if you are kind to me I will be kind to you.
Character Is Everything: What Is Respect?
Respect - Having a high regard for the rights, privileges, or worth of another person. The opposite of respect is disrespect.
