One of the greatest things in our life is our character. It is what we are; it is what we do in the dark if we know we would never be found. It is what we stand for, fall for or lie for.
Courtesy is one of the fading virtues among students of our days. It has become a norm among students to insult teachers. I wonder if our parents were our teachers/ lecturers, would we insult them? Our comportment should be with politeness, respect and well-cultured attitude. We should be polite when talking to elders and considerate in dealing with people around them. A well-mannered student will not jump queue, overrule the right of others and override his fellow students. It is a Christian ethic to be respectful.
Beauty without character is ugliness. Few months ago, our English lecturer was teaching us consonant sounds and a lady was very active in the class. Then the lecturer commented that she was beautiful and should be careful of the boys in school. We all laughed. Two days later, another English lecturer was in class and then something happened between this lady and a guy then, she flared up and got angry while the lecturer was still lecturing. The lecturer made a statement that got me thinking. He said " your beauty faded away when you got angry". I was sad for her. Can you see? Character is important in all areas of our lives.
Character is also what we will not stand for. It is made by many acts and can be lost by a single act! It takes its foundation from the heart; the thoughts we entertain, the actions we take and the habits we indulge in all lead to the character we become in life.
Character cannot be purchased, bargained for or imported from anywhere. It is home-grown and right in the heart.
Everyone should desire to be known with good behaviors. A good name is better than riches. You will be identified in the society, not only by your name, but by your character and conduct. A child is known by his doings whether his works are pure and right.
A person with good character is transparent and honest. He is dependable and truthful. His YES is YES and his NO is NO. He does not engage in duplicity and deceit. Good character is erected on clear conscience.
You should be known with responsible and reliable students that are serious with their studies. Be identified with good manners, it will earn you a position of honor and dignity in life. Give honour to whom honour is due. Make friends with honest and sincere people of God.
