More difficult than success itself is; how we handle success. Many people know how to
become successful but after they become successful, they don't know how to handle it
That is why ability and character go hand in hand. Ability will get you success, character
will keep you successful.
We don't unfold or discover ourselves , we create and build ourselves into the kind of
person we want to be.
Character building starts from infancy and goes on until death. Character does not need
success. It is success. Just like a gardener has to keep weeding to prevent weeds from
eating the life of the garden, we need to keep building and developing our character by
weeding out our faults.

Adversity Builds and/or Reveals Character

Under adverse circumstances, some people break records and others break down. A
gem cannot be polished without friction, nor can you get the finest steel without putting it
through fire. Similarly, adversity reveals a person's character and introduces it to himself.
There is a saying that came from Russia: "A hammer shatters glass but forges steel."
There is a lot of truth in it. Are we made of glass or steel? It is the same hammer. Just
like carbon determines the quality of steel, character determines the quality of man.

6. Positive Believing

What is the difference between positive thinking and positive believing? What if you could
actually listen to your thoughts? Are they positive or negative? How are you programming
your mind, for success or failure? How you think has a profound effect on your
performance.
Having a positive attitude and being motivated is a choice we make every morning.
Living a positive life is not easy; but then neither is negative living. Given a choice, I
would go for positive living.
Positive thinking is better than negative thinking and it will help us use our abilities to the
fullest.
