The Matters of Character
Barry Lewis Green
Educator, Speaker, Coach, Writer, Creator ... advancing Character Leadership and Education ... to move forward together, stronger ... engaging change.
I regularly and consistently write on the application and practice of Virtue... Strength of Character. It is my fascination and exploration. Over the 11 days, I shared on:
And, I shall continue. It is, in large part, what I do.
It laces my work with broadCAST Live.
It permeates my work with so many of our online conversations. Character matters. It matters to me. Consider...
- I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. --- Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
- Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. --- Helen Keller
- Authenticity is everything! You have to wake up every day and look in the mirror, and you want to be proud of the person who's looking back at you. And you can only do that if you're being honest with yourself and being a person of high character. You have an opportunity every single day to write that story of your life. --- Aaron Rodgers
- Beauty is a radiance that originates from within and comes from inner security and strong character. --- Jayne Seymour
- Knowledge will give you power, but character respect. --- Bruce Lee
- The duties of a teacher are neither few nor small, but they elevate the mind and give energy to the character. --- Dorothea Dix
- The belief that we can rely on shortcuts to happiness, joy, rapture, comfort, and ecstasy, rather than be entitled to these feelings by the exercise of personal strengths and virtues, leads to legions of people who, in the middle of great wealth, are starving spiritually. --- Martin Seligman
- People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built. --- Eleanor Roosevelt
- The betterment of the world can be accomplished through pure and goodly deeds, through commendable and seemly conduct. --- Baha'ullah
Yeah, it matters. Character matters. And it is much more than we think.
It is the practice of Virtue... in its myriad faces, facets and forms. And I shall keep writing, vlogging, speaking, teaching and coaching on same.
More to come.
... peace, passion and prosperity.
Barry Lewis Green, aka The Unity Guy with Epic Engage
Lead, inspire, educate, and unite. Move forward together, stronger. My work is about bringing campuses, companies and communities together, moving forward stronger. I work with educators, entrepreneurs and emerging leaders to do just that. My work is about character leadership and education and its role in helping individuals and organizations build a better world at school, work, business and community. I deliver on it through speaking, coaching and development in character leadership and education. My expertise is character leadership and education. I advance unity in diversity by moving the needle on leadership and education that is high character and results forging. I speak, teach, coach, facilitate, lead, write, sing, dance, cartoon and create on that. In 1980, Professor Rolf Hattenauer changed my life. A highly respected expert in Human Resource Management, he expected much of us and he believed much in us. He was an educator and leader of high character. He was extraordinary. To this day and beyond, I try my darnedest to honor his spirit with my own work. That is another story. But I hope I did him service here.
