There is an annual television show called Big Brother Naija. From this events channel you can learn that to enjoy peace of mind, Character is very crucial.
In btw, I prefer my blockchain and studies to big brother Naija, anyways. Lol
I can tell you with every sense of responsibility that you cannot amount to much in life, without good character, towards your friends and strangers. It guarantees your sustainable exploits and a glorious future.
No matter your charisma, if you lack character, it is disastrous! Truly, good character is the only way out of a life of crises.
Stay awesome, all.
My dear, very very crucial. Character could make your or mar you. Our attidute is what defines who we are.
Thank you for your response, @neebootoo.
nice post thanks @turpsy
Hello! I find your post valuable for the wafrica community! Thanks for the great post! @wafrica is now following you! ALWAYs follow @wafrica and use the wafrica tag!
This topic is very subjective one. I've seen guys with zero good character amount to much due to what they have a talent of. You must have heard of most stars stories on how they got to the celebrity level. Most of them got zero good characters. But they just got there through the strength of their talents.
You can't say only the housemates with good character remained on the show. The people voting vote for varied reasons and I doubt character is their first choice when voting. You can be a typical douchebag but if you are entertaining people will still vote for you in this type of show. I guess the only place good character, which, of course, is a subjective thing in most of the world, comes to real test is in religious competitions where votes come from religious voters :)
Thank you for your view on this topic. I really appreciate the points. Character is a subjective word, but good character toward friends and strangers is something that is more clear. We know that talent can make one excel and get to celebrity level, but without having a good character it might not be sustainable. This is because at the level of celebrity you automatically have a lot of enemies, and if such fellow is not in good books (without prejudice) with people surrounding or far from him/her, then someday, it might be a set back.
As regards the big brother show, entertainment will always give us things to marvel at. Character might not come to play here. I wouldn't mind knowing about a religious competition, is there one? Do you know of any, please?
Some celebrities are hated so much that they can't afford to go out anywhere without tight security. But they do excel in their dealings :)
I really do not know of any religious competitions.
Character is very important. @greenrun it depends what you meant by good character. No one has 100% good character, but those you might be thinking do not have "good character" (I guess you mean behavioural) must exhibit an excellent character to that talent which they possessed that made them excel.
If they don't, it is only a matter of time until someone with lesser talent or equal talent but better character shows up and they are forgotten.
We have seen with our eyes in football for example a lot of players with exceptional talents that are unable to live up to their potential because of their character
I'm not saying it's not important, I'm only pointing out that character definition is something that is subjective. Mr A may have good character to Mr C. But Mr F may think Mr A got a bad character. But I've seen people characterised as those with bad character amount to much. It's almost an African thing to see people hammer on things such as character, in appraising the success of a person. People with bad character do succeed.
You are quite on point. The purview with which individuals look at issue is different, depending on the gathering, drinking or not drinking alcohol for instance might be interpreted as bad character.
I think mutual respect is better.
I prefer Tequila. Jejejeje
bad character
Yes, you are right. People with bad character do succeed, however, the kind of character, needs to be well spelt out, since Character is like a word for summation of different things.
Roger that ✌️
You and football. Hahaha. What of politicians? Lol
those ones we no know what they are capable of na. they are like pendulum
A good character builds you a good reputation and that goes a long way in getting recommendations, deals and so on.
I see you guys’ points in the comments section and they are very good and interesting arguments.
I would say that while it is true that the goodness or badness of a person’s character is subjective, there are some actions that generally regarded as bad. So those who do it will get a bad reputation just like spammers on steemit.
Hahaha. This got me. Yeah, spammers are annoying on steemit, some are even scammers. That was how someone whom I use to visit her blog got her account hacked and not recovered yet. @ cheemy
