Good post. To add on this will teach a person good character. It is very difficult to do good in a bad situation, but focus as much of your energy and thought into the current situation to deal with it in a positive way is only possible if deep down inside you are good.

Rome was not built in a day. Character will not come out good just in an instance either. By appreciating what you have now and able to react to what is happening around you at this current moment takes consistent work to build up. Don't feel bad if you had one bad moment or one bad decision. Build on the good ones.
