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.
