it's all about character

A significant problem in today's society is that people's level of success is greater than their character can sustain. We see it every day in professional sports, entertainment, business and politics. People lack the personal character to gracefully handle their success, power, influence, wealth. 

The most important decision in life is to decide what is most important. So, decide what is most important to you, and then go after it even when you don't feel like it.
