Character is a very important quality to possess throughtout life. Alough not the most important factor to have in my opinion. I think the most valuable and important quality to have is the power to overcome. I believe that; along with the ability to adjust are most important.
I believe this to be valuable because in life everyone is going to run into problems,and not every problems will be overcome so easily. So you must be able to endure which in this case would be to adjust due to the adjustments needed to endure my negative endeavor is over with. As well as be able to overcome once the endeavor is over with. I can support this opinion evidence from a friend of mine.
His name is Antonio and he's had his own experiences with adjusting and overcoming. Characters may be one of the most important factors in life,but the ability to overcome is the most important. As an example, look at Amreica and our ability to overcome the great deperssion. We had to adjust ourselves to living in a depressed economy,and even thought it took time; we managed to come out of it (overcome) a better country. The same country we are today,so in conclusion with the provide evidence. I say that the most important qualities to have in life are the ability to overcome and adjust. If you don't believe ask the person seating next to you and see what thrie answer will be.
