Something to make you ponder.
We all have our own impressions of other people, but one should not form an opinion on someone based purely on what is seen on the surface, or by what another person's opinion of that individual is; because after taking a deeper look, the person may be very different than what was perceived/expected. Also, never be too quick to accept a story at face value.
On that note, lets briefly talk about Character. We have an identity that make us unique;
character traits both good and bad which is already innate in us and it is not subject for change.
People of good character exhibit attributes such as honesty, courage, integrity, loyalty, fortitude. They practice self control, they do make mistakes, they learn from it and take responsibility for it.
People do not expect perfection but they expect honesty. No one is perfect and everyone is aware of that; depending on the circumstances we sometimes tend to behave out of emotional impulse. However, our continued actions eventually reveal our true character."the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior." So pay attention.
You have probably heard the expression; "a leopard doesn’t change its spots" to indicate that a person's character traits do not easily change, however, one can inspire an attitude adjustment because attitude is our mental outlook which is reflected in our body language. Its a choice; depending on the environment or the situation at the time. It is our decision how we approach people and handle the situations. So our attitude speaks a lot about us (negative or positive.)
In essence attitude is a choice, whereas character is an identity.
