CHARACTER BUILDING

Building good character demands conscious and careful effort. No one is born with good character; good characters are developed and below are some essentials to building a good character.
1. Commitment to right attitude – your attitude defines your character and it demands a commitment to right attitude to have a good character.
2. Consciously work on your emotion – what you see yourself do when you are emotional is your real character; so build a capacity to manage your emotion such that it does not misrepresent you. At best be mindful of what you do when emotionally unstable.
3. Avoid creating wrong impression – you do not have a second chance to make the first impression. When you pass a wrong impression of yourself, people define you with that wrong impression; so make every effort to avoid wrong impression.
4. Have people you hold yourself accountable to. You do not have your life to live because we live in community, make sure you are accountable to someone.
5. Hold others in high esteem. Have a great respect and regard for others.
6. Live your size per time. This will help you to deal with covetousness and greed which is major killer of character.
7. Show decorum and courtesy in relating with people.
