The opposite of success is not failure. Unsuccessful efforts are not failures unless they so discourage you that you abandon further efforts to achieve your goal. Even then, the venture or effort may be a failure but you are not. Failure is an event not a character trait.
Michael Josephson
Image
Character is made up of core moral principles called the Six Pillars of Character: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, caring, fairness and citizenship. Each of these virtues are independently important but together they provide the foundation for a worthy life.

Image
It isn't the absence of conscience or values that prevents us from being all we should be, it is simply the lack of moral courage.
Michael Josephson
Image
Gratitude is most treasured when it is unexpected. When we expect, even demand gratitude, we treat it simply as payment due for some service we rendered and we squeeze any good feeling out of it.
Michael Josephson
Image
Neither the intensity of your feelings nor the certainty of your convictions is any assurance that you are right.
Michael Josephson
Image
If we don't invest now in building character into children we will surely invest more tomorrow in trying to repair adults.
