We're living in a world full of gifted and talented folks. Many of these folks have used their talents and gifts to change the course of history​. Some were scientists like Thomas Edison, Musicians like Johann Sebastian Bach, Explorers like Christopher Columbus, Reformers like Martin Luther just to mention a few.

All the gifts and talents these folks had weren't their greatest asset. The asset that stabilized them to go places was their CHARACTER.

The relevance of Character for all high-flyers cannot be overemphasized. I believe the greater a person's gifting or talent, the greater their need for a strong Character.

Character is a person's unique identity - what you are known for. What you do when no one is watching you is your Character. The core values, self-discipline and integrity of a man also comprises his Character.

It's unfortunate that Character is one of the greatest losses in our world today. Many try to build big businesses through corrupt means or pursue their ambitions treacherously
at the expense of a integrity. Nowadays, we see politicians who siphone money, professors or lecturers in the higher institutions chasing after young female students, anointed preachers with Character bankruptcy. Many see significance in short cuts more important than following due process due to the way up. This is so disheartening. We have many in history who allowed their gifts to be stronger than their Character.

The Biblical King Solomon is an example of one of those men. He was blessed with wisdom from his Creator but his gift of wisdom was not strong enough to sustain him in the time of temptation. His wisdom compelled the queen of Sheba to travel down just to hear him. History told us that with all the wisdom he had he still ended up marrying three hundred wives. That wasn't enough. He needed some more to keep himself warm. He added seven hundred concubines!

For you to have an ambition, gift or destiny higher than your character is to collapse before arrival. There's always a high price to pay for 'low living'.

All politicians​, professors, civil servants, business folks, religious leaders, high-flyers who have made up their minds to live in corruption have settled to live a life full of limitations already.

We need to come to a point where we cherish character above our gifts, talents, abilities and profession.

A man's Vision, Education(knowledge), talent and gift will create a place for him at the top but it's his Character or right attitude that will stabilize him when he gets there.

Self-confrontation,
Personal Development, making up your minds to do what is right regardless of what others are doing and also self-discipline has the potential of stabilising the future of stars.

Evil companions can also thwart the destiny of high-flyers. You need to have intimate friends who share the same core values​ with you and also have a track record of unquestionable integrity.
