Monthly Recaps Leaders are visionaries with a poorly developed sense of fear and no concept of the odds against them. They make the impossible happen. — Dr. Robert Jarvik “Life is a place of service, and in that service one has to suffer a great deal that is hard to bear, but more often to experience a great deal of joy. But that joy can be real only if people look upon their lives as a service and have a definite object in life outside themselves and their personal happiness.” — Count Leo Tolstoy It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters in the end. – Ursula K. LeGuin Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece--by thought, choice, courage and determination. – H. Jackson Brown NEW MEMBER!

Of what qualities does character consist of? This is one question posed in the book Titled, SPORT PLAY and ETHICAL REFLECTION by Ralph Feezell. One of the responses to this question in the book, states; Character requires avoiding the impulse to succeed by cheating. A person of character is just or fair, in more than one sense. He is unwilling to take unfair advantage of another in order to gain his own advantage, and he is attuned to merit. He comes to see the way in which things are done, justly to persons. Also a person of character develops some sense of good judgment about what matters in life. In fact, it is this sense of good judgment that is ground for resisting immediate impulses.
