It's All ABout Your Character 08/20/2009

   Carla and Laura had auditioned for the lead role in the play, now they were about to find out which one of them would be chosen. Carla told herself that she would get the part because everyone knew that she was the best at playing funny characters and she had the awards to prove it. Laura was disappointed when Carla's name was called for the lead and she was chosen to be Carla's understudy but, she studied her lines and was at every rehearsal, on time.
   Carla was very good at playing the lead role but she was late for every rehearsal with excuses about some other thing she had to do at school. By now Mrs. Adams the drama director, was quite annoyed with the way Carla was treating her responsibility. This continued right on down to the last two rehearsals and the director made a change. She gave the lead role to Laura. Carla couldn’t believe her ears when she was told she was out of the play.

   “But I’m the best; you know I am Mrs. Adams. Laura can’t play the part like I can!”

   “You’re right Carla, you are the best but, you are not dependable and you are not concerned about anyone but yourself and so, you’re out. Alright Laura, take it from the top.”

                                                                                                                 ***

You may have skills, talents and God given gifts that can put you on top of the world but it is only your good character that can keep you there!

C.U. Later!

Hey There Ms. Shift Characters,

Great word. Too many people have built their kingdoms on the weak foundation of poor character. No matter how high you build it, it will eventually come crashing down. Thanks for the work.
