Did You Know ...

...that George Washington said the following?

"I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man."

Tip of the Week

Character has been said to include the following traits:

• Integrity
• Honesty
• Courage
• Loyalty
• Trustworthiness
• Respect
• Responsibility
• Fairness
• Caring
• Citizenship
• Others

There are obviously many traits that can be included that make up an individual's character. It's interesting that many New Year's resolutions cover just about everything except a goal of enhancing one's character during 2020!
