“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.”

“The Six Pillars of Character”

The six pillars of character are trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship.

©     Trustworthiness: Be honest, do not cheat or steal, be reliable, Have the courage to do what is right, be loyal and build a good reputation.

©     Respect: Treat others with respect, use good manners, be tolerant and accepting of differences, be considerate, deal peacefully with anger.

©     Responsibility: Plan ahead, do what you are supposed to do, keep trying , always do your best, use self-control, be self-disciplined, think before you act .

©     Fairness: Play by the rules, take turns and share, be open minded, do not take advantage of others, treat all people fairly.

©     Caring: Be kind, be compassionate and show you care, express gratitude, forgive others, and help people in need.

©     Citizenship: Do your share to make your school and community better, get involved, be a good neighbor, and obey laws and rules.

I believe that nobody is perfect. That even the smartest person will not follow up to these 6 pillars. We are all human and make mistakes and keeping up with these pillars is quiet difficult.
