“It is by his deeds that a lad distinguishes himself if his conduct is pure and right.” (Proverbs 20:11)
There are few things as frustrating for a young person than to feel the disrespect of an older generation. When we are young, we wish to be heard, valued, and noticed… but how to stand out in the crowd?
If you are tired of being painted with the broad brush of stereotypes where the older generation rolls their eyes at the inexperience and foolishness of all young people, there is no faster road to respect than character. Good manners, honesty, a work ethic, and scruples are the universal language of respect and distinction.
Nothing stands out faster in a crowd than the man of pure and right conduct.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
