Dealing with the simple problems of daily living

Why study character? Because no one should have to wrestle with life's problems without the collective wisdom of the great minds of history in his corner.

A keen observer once described living with character as understanding "the way". He divided people into:
  • those who intuitively knew "the way",
  • those who could learn "the way", and
  • those who need fixed rules.

Fixed rules are not the wisest way to decide what to do in a complex world. Teaching character helps more people learn "the way" and to understand why it is in their long term best interest to do so.

Welcome to "Exploring Character", integrating character education through easily accessible simple wisdoms garnered from history, literature and personal experience.
