How to Build Character

If you really want to judge the character of man,
look not at his great performances.Every fool may become a hero at one time or another.Watch a man do his most common actions; those are indeed the things which will tell you the real character of a great man neither money pays, nor name, nir fame, nor learning; it is CHARACTER that can cleave through adamantine walls of difficulties
If a man with an ideal makes a thousand mistakes, i am sure that the man without an ideal makes fifty thousand. Therefore, it is better to have an ideal.It is the nature of thongs that many should fall,that troubles should come,that tremendous difficulties should arise, that selishness and all the other devils in the human heart should stuggle hard,when they are about to be driven out by the fire of spirituality.The road to the good is the roughest and steepest in the universe.It is a wondre that so many succeed; no wonder thatso many fall. Character has to be established througha thousand stumbles. If a man continuously hears bad words, thinks bad thoughts does bad impressons; and work without his being conscious of the fact. Hevwill be like a machine in the hands of his impressions, and they will force him to do evil and that man will be a bad man; he cannot help it. similarly, if a man thinks good thoughts and does good works the sum total of these impression will be good and they,in a similar manner, will force him to do good, even in spite of himself. when such is the case, a man's good character is said to be established. The miseries of the world cannot be cured by physical help only. until man's character changes,these physical needs will always arise, and miseries willalways be felt and no amount of physical help will cure them completely. The only solution of this problem is to make mankind pure. Ignorance is the mother of all the evil and all the misery we see. Let men have light, let them be pure and spirityally strong and educated, then alone will misery cease house inthe country into a charity asylum, we may fill the land with hospitals, but the misery of man still continue to exist until man's character changes. All the strength and succour you want is within yourselves. therefore make your own future,'Let the dead past bury its dead.The infinite future is before you, and you must always remember that each word, thought, and deed, lays up a store for you and that, as the bad thoughts and bad works are ready to spring upon you like tigers, so also there is the inspiiring hope that the good thoughts and good deeds are ready with the power of a hundred thousand angels to defend ypu always and for ever.Therefor stand up, be bold, be strong.Take the while responsibility on your own shoulders,and kniw thae you are the creator of your own destiny.
