“ Character Matters Most.” - Dale Murphy

This quote by Dale Murphy is really powerful to everyone. We can all include this in our daily lives. What Dale means by this is that the most thing that is significant and that matters the most is your character. Your character is the way you are. It includes your personality, your words, your actions, your thoughts, and all the qualities that make up you. For example, Dale Murphy himself has a good character within him and that is what matters the most. He might be the most home-runs baseball player in the world, but that doesn’t really matter. What matters is the way he calls his wife and family everyday to check on them. What matters is when he does his prayers everyday with his whole family together. What matters the most is that he is extremely loyal to his family and friends. What matters the most is all of that… his character. He wants us to know that whatever happens, our character will be there, because it matters to us and to everyone. This quote helps me to understand my character a little better, because what a lot of people are looking for is your character whether your character involves with positive traits such as being friendly, spiritual, loyal, etc or having bad traits such as dishonest, duplicity, rude, uncooperative, etc. Your character is basically you. It is what you are inside your soul/heart. For instance, if you do drugs, having bad grades, lazy, hurtful, dishonest and all the bad traits, that is what defines you. That is your character which is really bad. On the contrary, if your character involves with honesty and humble, you have a good character and that is what matters the most.
