DISCUSSION
T
he issue of bullying is an issue of
character. Let’s listen to some quotes
about character and discuss what we
think they mean.
WHAT IS CHARACTER?
C
haracter is achieved and not received.
It is the product of constant action,
daily striving to make the right choice. -
NJHS definition of character.
PERSONALITY
Personality can open doors,
but only character can keep
them open - Elmer Letterman
CHARACTER
C
haracter, in the long run, is the decisive
factor in the life of an individual and of
nations alike. - Theodore Roosevelt,

YOUR THOUGHTS
W
atch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.

CHARACTER
C
haracter is doing the right thing when
nobody's looking. There are too many
people who think that the only thing that's
right is to get by, and the only thing that's
wrong is to get caught. - J. C. Watts
CHARACTER & REPUTATION
B
e more concerned with your character
than your reputation, because your

your reputation is merely what others
think you are. - John Wooden
