    Character is a creative process of developing oneself according to recognized ideals rather than social norms. Great men of character in history are often nonconformists who go against prevailing beliefs and practices. Character involves the conscious effort to continuously grow in wisdom and do good. It is not the result of isolated good acts but forming the habit of doing well at all times.

    Character as Moral Creativity

    Thinkers do not agree as to how much of personality is inherited from


    parents or from environment. But they agree that character is the will of the
    individual to direct hi effort towards a recognized ideal. In this sense, character
    is a creative process of developing one self, not necessarily according to socially
    acceptable norms, but according to a set of recognized ideals. In history, men
    considered great in character are often nonconformist, acting against the
    prevailing beliefs and practices of the day. Such were Christ, Sakya-Muni or
    Buddha, Gandhi, Martin Luther King and many others.

    Character is the process of becoming man, by unfolding the innate


    goodness of human nature. It is a conscious effort to grow “in age and
    wisdom”. Character is not the result of good act done in a moment of
    inspiration. Character is the habit of doing well at all time. (Agapay)

    Human Habits
    Man is a creature of habits. He is born with a wide assortment of powers
    that open up limitless horizons for development. Reason stands at the apex of
    the vast array of potentialities. Man if he must integrate all his powers in one
    wholesome personality, must rely on the power of reason. Man must form the
    habit of reason.
    Habit comes from the Latin word “habere”, meaning “to have”. Habit is
    either the disposition to have something, or the disposition to act in a certain
    manner. The first is called “entitative habit”, that which disposes a thing to
    have a certain nature or quality of being, such as to be beautiful, talented, or
    to be obese. The latter is called “operative habit”, that which disposes for
    doing something in a certain manner, such as painting, writing, or talking. We
    are primarily interested with operative habits, They may be defined as the
    readiness to do something.(Agapay)
