What character is all about
A good friend shared with us a very enlightening Chinese proverb: Choose a habit; develop a character and create a destiny.
Here are some proverbs from our Filipino culture on what character is all about, contained in the book “Proverbs” compiled and edited by Damiana Eugenio:

A man’s character is manifested by his actions.

A man’s character is what he leaves on earth.
Beauty fades, but character does not.
I do not look for silver or gold—all I need is a good character.
If we want to be loved, we must not change our good character.
If your character is good, it will return to you.
A man’s wealth is useless if his character is worthless.
