Ethics doesn't require us to ignore our self-interests or demand a life of self-sacrifice. It requires that we know the difference between what we want and what we should do

A person of character knows the difference between right and wrong and always tries to do the right thing for the right reason.

Everything you do sends a message about who you are and what you value.

The kind of courage that is strengthened or created by concern about what others will think is really a form of fear. Fear of disapproval or dishonor becoming stronger than fear of injury or even death.

The opposite of success is not failure. Unsuccessful efforts are not failures unless they so discourage you that you abandon further efforts to achieve your goal. Even then, the venture or effort may be a failure but you are not. Failure is an event not a character trait.

Discipline yourself to start each day identifying something to be grateful about. The world opens to those who approach it with a grateful heart.

Values are good things only if they are good values.
