“Character is higher than intellect.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Character is something that also really does apply to being a CTR person. In this quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson, he is stating that character isn’t just recognized for how much you know. Character for a individual are the labels that are written and applied. This quote applies that your character will always have a greater power than how much you know. You can be the smartest person alive, but that lack of character you have won’t really benefit your intelligence. Character in a person is choosing the right qualities. For example; responsibility, integrity, fairness, being nice, respectful,etc. Having a good character is one of the most important qualities an individual can have. Choosing the right will help build that character. To add on, having that character will lead you to committing positive actions. Choosing the Right will provide equal balance of intelligence and character.
A great example that can follow up is applying to a new job. There are two people your soon to be boss has eyes on. Out of all applicants his eyes are on these two people. One of the applyers is a very intelligent man who will run things his own way that can greatly benefit the company. But, the other is also a very intelligent woman who is very nice and respectful of others opinion. To conclude, the women gets the job. This women was chosen over the man, because she has good character qualities and has the same intelligent as the other. Everyone is equal, but everyone has their own set of well-being. Choosing the Right will benefit you in good character and knowledge.
