Character matters
“We live in a culture that teaches us to promote and advertise ourselves and to master the skills required for success, but that gives little encouragement to humility, sympathy, and honest self-confrontation, which are necessary for building character.” ~ David Brooks, The Road to Character Boots on the ground / Cindy La Ferle To view featured posts, additional content, and social media sharing options, please visit the home page.

Why humility matters
“Do you believe you’re always right? What would it mean if you’re not? Are you strong enough to acknowledge that you’re wrong sometimes? Do you cling to a rigidity that disallows you from changing your mind? Arrogance is off-putting and destined to keep you isolated. Recognizing that you could be wrong is the dawning of wisdom for many people. Humility is attractive.” ~John Amodeo, PhD, from his essay, “Why People Might Not Like You.” (Click here to read the essay.)
