Life is a series of experiences,
each one of which makes us bigger,
even though it is hard to realize this.
For the world was built to develop character,
and we must learn that the setbacks
and grieves which we endure help us
in our marching onward.
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.
"Deep down you know you can be remarkable. You shouldn''t settle for anything less than your best self, reaching ever closer to your potential--whether as a leader or in any other part of your life."
