You can tell a person’s character by how he/she reacts under pressure, stress, or betrayal. When the odds are stacked against them, do they lie, cheat, or blame others? If they do, it is a sign of their character.
If, under the same pressure, stress, or betrayal, the person stands tall, walks with his/her head held high, and doesn’t change or shift his/her values, you’ve met someone special. They’ll stand by you in good and bad times. Keep them close by. It’s not easy to be such a person, something deep inside tells them they have no other way to act regardless of the cost.
I am an optimistic, can do, and never quit guy. The spirit of hope indelibly marks my DNA. My research at The Ohio State University helped people discover the best in themselves and change their personal lives, public organizations, and whole communities. I bring the same spirit and enthusiasm to my blog to help those who grieve who find themselves suddenly alone, navigate their grieving. Join my more than 24,300Twitter (@alwaysgoodstuff).
