March Word of Month – Character Wk 4
Character
Week 4
“Personality can open doors, but only character can keep them open.”
Elmer G. Letterman, business executive
Translation for Adults
You’ve met the type (and they may have even fooled you): The person who purposely assumes a certain personality to trick others into thinking he or she is someone else. At first, such people may receive a warm reception, but eventually his or her real character reveals itself; and it’s perceived as a deception. Don’t use personality to hide character flaws; instead, improve your character with Black Belt attitude. Only then will your personality always reflect the positive qualities that others recognize as character, and keep the doors to success and prosperity open.
Translation for Kids
It’s easy to be attracted to someone who is funny and has a good personality. Sometimes, however, those people wear their personalities like masks. They are not who they appear to be. Fortunately, you are learning and living the Black Belt attitude, so you’re able to recognize and avoid these people, and not become one of them. Having a personality is a good thing, but only when it matches the goodness of your character. Your Black Belt attitude will keep the doors to success and prosperity open throughout your life.
Class Discussion for Kids
