Character and Personality 

Stephen R. Covey talks about how character and personality is everything in life. Something that he said was that a mother came in talking to a guy telling him to encourage her son to stop eating sugar. The guy said I will just wait a week. So the mother waited a week and after a week her son stopped eating sugar. The lady asked him why did he talk to him after a week? all he said was because he was eating sugars as well. This guy was having character and personality because he couldn't tell a kid to stop eating sugar when he was doing the same thing. If he would of done that then he would have been a hypocrite and it would make him look bad if someone found out what he did. It's like the iceberg on the top where you could see the tips it's the personality and the bottom where you cannot see anything it's the character. People get to know you at first and they try to find out what type of personality they have or you have. The character is yourself and your personality is whatever seems to come out of your mouth. Your personality has to do with positive mental thinking, people skills, and win-win mindset. Your character has to do with beliefs and values, effective living, and the golden rule. The golden rule or law is reciprocity is the principle of treating others as one would wish to be treated oneself. It is a maxim of altruism seen in many human religions and human cultures. It's what they say, when you choose your friends, don't be short changed by choosing personality over character.
