Without a strong foundation built on positive character traits, success will not long endure. It is virtually impossible to fake good character. Phonies are quickly spotted because they need the substance and determination to maintain the charade. Developing good character begins with a positive attitude. Your desire to be a good, decent, honest, considerate person must first occur in your mind. When you decide to become a person of character, you will also find that you are much more willing to do the right thing simply because it is the right thing.
