The True Measure of Worth: Achievement vs. Character

The True Measure of Worth

Is everyone who has achieved worthy? Adolf Hitler achieved world fame. Do you think he was worthy? He may have thought he was the greatest leader ever to be born, but what do you think?

You may know people who have achieved a lot in life, wealth, fame, and prestige. In your mind, do you think they are worthwhile? Are they, because of their achievements, snobs, conceited, and egotistical?

Do you really like them because of their achievements, or do you dislike them because of their attitudes?

Do you have a friend who has never achieved anything great but is a good friend, loyal, honest, and true blue? Is this not what makes a person worthy in your eyes?

Though you may not have fulfilled your achievements, as a Black Belt, you know you are still a worthy person because of the way you feel about yourself and how you treat others.

Achievement alone does not determine a person's worth. While some may achieve fame, wealth, and prestige, their attitudes and how they treat others play a significant role in their true worth. Loyal and honest friends who may not have notable achievements can be more worthy in our eyes. As a Black Belt, your worth is defined by your self-perception and how you treat others, not just by your accomplishments.
