COT:

Theodore Roosevelt on Character:
“Bodily vigor is good, and vigor of intellect is even better, but far above both is character. It is true, of course, that a genius may, on certain lines, do more than a brave and manly fellow who is not a genius; and so, in sports, vast physical strength may overcome weakness, even though the puny body may have in it the heart of a lion. But, in the long run, in the great battle of life, no brilliancy of intellect, no perfection of bodily development, will count when weighed in the balance against that assemblage of virtues, active and passive, of moral qualities, which we group together under the name of character…”

TR, The Outlook
March 31, 1900

Being of good character is more important than how strong or smart you are. The Bible clearly spells this out for us. Hold yourself and HIMS accountable. Try to improve your character in areas where you may be deficient. Finally, teach values and good character to your 2.0s. It’s more important than anything any material possessions you can leave them with.

COT:

One day an old Cherokee man sits down with his grandson to teach him about life.
“A fight is going on inside of me,” he says to the boy. “It’s a terrible fight between two wolves. One is evil – he is full of rage, jealousy, arrogance, greed, sorrow, regret, lies, laziness, and self-pity.”
He continues, “The other is good – he is filled with love, joy, peace, generosity, truth, empathy, courage, humility, and faith. This same fight is going on inside the hearts of everyone, including you.”
The grandson thinks about this for a few minutes, and then asks his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”
The old Cherokee simply replies, “The one you feed.”

Finished by picking up the course supplies while Hands yelled words of encouragement from the intersection at Northshore
