CHARACTER

Chararcter is the combination of qualities or features that distinguishes one person, group, or thing from another. Some traits of character are honesty, loyalty, dependability, self-esteem, reliability, trustworthy, and responsibility. On my job and at school, I try to demonstrate character. You should demonstrate character everywhere you go because people can label you from it. If someone lie all the time and are not dependable people can label them as having bad character.
I try to improve my character everyday. If I tell someone I am going to do something for them, I make sure I do it. If I do not do it they can label me as being dishonest or not dependable.

A quote that I like for character is:

“Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”




Respect includes taking someone's feelings, needs, thoughts, ideas, wishes and preferences into consideration. It means taking all of these seriously and giving them worth and value. In fact, giving someone respect seems similar to valuing them and their thoughts, feelings, etc. It also includes acknowledging them, listening to them, being truthful with them, and accepting their individuality.
Respect can be shown through behavior and it can also be felt. We can act in ways which are considered respectful, yet we can also feel respect for someone and feel respected by someone. Because it is possible to act in ways that do not reflect how we really feel, the feeling of respect is more important than the behavior without the feeling. When the feeling is there, the behavior will naturally follow.

In order to gain respect, you have to give respect. Respect has great importance in everyday life. As children we are taught (one hopes) to respect our parents, teachers, and elders, school rules and traffic laws, family and cultural traditions, other people's feelings and rights, our country's flag and leaders, the truth and people's differing opinions. And we come to value respect for such things; when we're older, we may shake our heads  at people who seem not to have learned to respect them. I try to respect others and their feelings rather they are right or wrong. I find out that when you respect people it will carry you along way.

It is amazing how much you can accomplish when it doesn't matter who gets the credit.

 Teamwork is one of the most essential qualities for the success of any organization. It has been seen that in the absence of teamwork, teams fail to perform to the best of their abilities. Teamwork is a set of activities, which are performed by team members to fulfill a common goal, that is decided by the organization. Teamwork is necessary in all walks of life. We can start from home. At home if the members of the house do not work together as a cohesive group, there are many tasks at home, which will never get completed. Similar is the case, when one works for an organization. Teamwork is great in the workplace also. If the members of the team do not perform together, then achieving targets will almost be next to impossible. Teamwork should be looked upon as a bond, which helps in keeping the members of the team together by promoting strength, reliability and support. When I am school, there are some advantages and disadvantages of teamwork. You can get a job done quicker if everyone is particapting. On the other hand, if everyone else is not doing there job then the goal can not be achieved. When I was growing up my teachers always used the saying, "There is no "I" in team. This is so true. When playingball evryone have to work together on getting the ball in the hoop. When in groups, I try hard to put forth my work so my end can fit into the puzzle with the other groups work.
