Character as “the complex of mental and ethical traitsmarking a person.” In another word, character is said to be the stable and distinctive qualities built into an individual’s life which determine his or her response regardless of circumstances. Abraham Lincoln said,--"Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing. ".Reputation is the shadow. Character is the tree.Our character is much more than just what we try to display for others to see, it is who we are even when no one is watching. Good character is doing the right thing because it is right to do what is right.”

 

 

Character is a “complex of mental and ethical traits” and that those traits, or qualities, are “built into an individual’s life.” It is those character qualities, those character traits, which determine a person’s response in any given situation.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.― John Wooden
