Character

Ever wonder what is the meaning of character ? John Maxwell illustrate character is just like ice berg. 4 % of the ice berg on top of the water represent our talent. 80 % to 96 % of the ice berg which is underneath the water is our character.

Character is describe as part that is unseen or our real self when no one see what we are doing. We need strong character to hold our talents and gifting. If we have great talent but lousy character, our talents and giftings will not last.

3 practical ways to build our characters :
a) Best use our adversity
Hellen Keller : character can't be buld in normal time. Only through suffering, it will create
character and vision.
b) Do the right things
Choose to do the right things. When we do the right thing, it will cause you everything. Our
choice will determine our character.
c) Take control of our life
Edaward Young : Doing thing you need to do, then you will do the thing you like to do.

Some of the scientific facts of Ice Berg
Because the
density of pure ice is about 920 kg/m³, and that of sea water about 1025 kg/m³, typically only one-tenth of the volume of an iceberg is above water.
