“It’s beauty that captures your
attention; personality which captures your heart.” - Anonymous
Whether a woman or man character is
very precious as it will either make or break them in the society. To
substantiate this, there are a number of quotations emphasizing character as
the first and last quality for an individual. Billy Graham went to the extent of quoting: “When
wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when
character is lost, all is lost.”
It is the nature of a woman to impress
others with her God gifted beauty. But at the same time the woman with good character
doesn’t compromise her values and morals. I have come across a girl – Kirtika when
I worked as a professor in a college. She was very beautiful with good height
and fair complexion. Initially everybody was eager to talk to her and praised
her beauty. When she entered into the first year of engineering college she was
18 years old and her behavior was good. However, she got into wrong friends due
to peer pressure. She invited boys to sit beside her in the college bus. She teased
boys openly in the bus. She did not listen to the repeated warnings given to
her by faculty in the bus. She behaved as though she was the princess of the
college. She developed more arrogance as more boys competed to talk to her. She became proud about her beauty. She lost her morals gradually and the entire
college came to know about her affairs with boys. Some boys exploited her
beauty and finally she lost her goodwill. She failed miserably in exams also.
The college authorities complained to her parents about her affairs with boys,
misconduct, irregular attendance and poor performance in exams. Parents tried
to control her but it was of no use.
From this story, it is obvious that basically
all girls are good. At times, the peer pressure prevails and girl like Kirtika
lost her image. Hence, both boys and girls must know where to draw the line
while mingling with opposite gender to maintain their character to create a
good impression among other students, faculty and above all parents. Remember, whether a man or a woman, they should
never lose their character.
No man appreciates a woman whose
character is weak. A few girls don’t realize this fact and lose their morals
and values thus degrading themselves and bringing bad name to their parents and
educational institutions. This story is an eye opener to other good girls who
may be tempted by wrong friends.
"People of character do the right
thing, not because they think it will change the world but because they refuse
to be changed by the world." - Michael Josephson
Life is great!
