Character Musings

START A DISCUSSION:

Take a moment during Character Community Week at work, school, home or play to reflect on and discuss the following questions and statements:

• What does ‘community’ mean to you?
• It is the simple everyday actions that make a difference. How do your actions affect the community we live in?
• It takes all of us to create a great community?
• What are we already doing that demonstrates good character?
• What do we want to do more of to promote and demonstrate good character?
• How we treat each other enhances quality of life.

• Example has more followers than reason. We unconsciously imitate what pleases us, and insensibly approximate to the characters we most admire. In this way, a generous habit of thought and of action carries with it an incalculable influence. —Christian Nestell Bovee (1820-1904); author, lawyer
• Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing. -Albert Schweitzer, 1875-1965
