Character

“Character is higher than intellect”- Ralph Waldo Emerson

I think that this quote is trying to tell us that character has more power than you intellect. People won’t focus if you have good grades or if you have great talent but they will check if you know how to be kind, respectful, honest and many more. I believe that character matters more because you're showing the world that you do mean something and it doesn’t always have to involve your intelligence. An example of this quote would be you’re a basketball player with good grades (straight A’s). But when you’re at home you always decide to help around the house. This tells me that you have good character in yourself even when you have school to attend and being a basketball player. Having character also involves you to choose the right because both are similar to each other. They both involve having integrity, being honest, showing respect to others and much more. Use both your intelligence and character to be a CTR person.
