THE CHARACTER FACTOR

-



Your skills may open doors, but your character keeps them open. This simple truth is often overlooked in the pursuit of success. While skills are essential for achieving greatness, they are merely a foundation upon which character is built.

Having exceptional skills can get you hired, promoted, or recognized. However, it's your character that determines whether you'll be respected, trusted, and admired. Character is what sets you apart from others with similar skills and talents.

Skillfulness can take you far, but a flawed character can lead to downfall. On the other hand, good character can compensate for skill gaps and open doors to new opportunities.


Ultimately, it's not just about what you can do, but who you are. Your character is what will keep those doors open, long after your skills have gotten you through them.

Without a solid strategy, even the best-laid plans can falter. Think of strategy as the roadmap that guides you towards your destination. It helps you navigate obstacles, allocate resources, and make adjustments as needed. For instance, if you plan to develop a daily reading habit, your strategy might involve setting aside dedicated time each day, whether that's early in the morning or before bed. You might also need to consider your reading style - do you prefer reading alone or with a group? If it's the latter, you may need to schedule group reading sessions in advance, taking into account the schedules of your fellow readers. By having a clear strategy in place, you can overcome potential hurdles and stay committed to your goals. Remember, a good plan is just the starting point - it's the strategy ...
