Like respect, it's not something you ask for;
It's something you earn.
Like strength, it's not something granted;
It's developed.
It may only count to those who have it -
But character counts.
If you are not impressed by what someone accomplished,
But by what they had overcome.
That's character.
If you don't take the easy way,
And take the right way;
That's character.
If you accept responsibility for your actions;
Face the consequences without complaint;
Live your life the best you can;
That's character

I love the "character" in this piece.
Its wisdom is very existential and well defined.
An excellent write.

Thanks,
