When you meet people for the first time or again after a period of time, ask them how they are, and then listen closely to the answers. People will often share with you a concern or problem in their lives. When they do, practice consideration and sensitivity. Treat the problem or difficulty as though it were extremely important to you. Amazingly enough, when you act as if you are really interested and concerned with a problem or situation in another person's life, you very soon start to feel genuinely affected emotionally by the other person.

The rule for building lifelong friendships and wonderful relationships is simple. Resolve that from now on, when people leave your presence, they will feel much better than they did when they entered your presence. Practice all the ideas above to make people feel important. Look for ways to raise people's self_esteem and reinforce their self_image. Make them feel as though they are valuable and worthwhile. Furthermore, everything that you do or say to make another person feel important makes you feel important as well..

Will your reputation recognize your character if they meet in the dark?

To change your character, you must begin at the control centre-heart. A bankruptcy of character is inevitable when you are no longer able to keep the interest paid on your moral obligations.

Henry Ward Beecher said " No man can tell whether he is rich or poor by turning to his ledger.bit is the heart that makes a man rich. He is rich according to what he is,not according to what he has".

Excellence in character is shown by doing unwitnessed what we would be doing with the whole world watching.

Remember, you are called to grow like a tree, not like a mushroom. It's hard to climb high when your character is low.
