Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Character is higher than intellect.” To me this quote means that your intellect does matter, but character will always beat intellect. No matter how smart you are, if you have bad character, then your intellect is useless. They are both important, so it’s best to keep both at a high level, but always focus on having a good character. If you have a high intellectual level but a bad character, people will only notice your bad character. There are some basketball coaches that look for good character in players. Being smart can make you a likeable person. But if your character is rotten, then many people many not enjoy being around you. This can be true in friendships, relationships, family, and social life. Many rewards can come from having a good character. People tend to like you more, and they also may like conversing with you more often. Because of this, you enjoy communicating with others, instead of always staying quiet and being independent.
