Character and Personality

Stephan Covey said he has been reading lots of books. After reading all those books, he started to see a pattern. He said that books from before the 1920's were based on building your character. They showed and talked about trustworthiness, integrity, and responsibility. Then, after the 1920's, books focused more on the personality. Personality is basically when you make yourself seem like something else in a sense. Now, people work way to hard on the surface rather than the roots.

The tip is your personality while the bottom is your character. You should always put more work on the base instead of your personality.
