What is your character like? In fiction, characterization is important. Characters need to be understood by the readers. The author, therefore, creates a consistent display of the character that, though changeable, is something the reader can figure out and observe. Think of James Bond. No matter the actor, the character is very similar.
In life, characterization is also important. How the world sees you is a direct result of what you display to the world. Live the way you want to be characterized!
Are you dependable? If you say you'll do something, do you do it?
Are you responsible? If something is expected of you, do you do it?
Are you accountable? If you do something—or forget to do something—do you acknowledge your action or inaction?
How you live—your honesty, your integrity, your dependability, your responsibility, your accountability, your view of others, your interactions with people—creates your character. It tells people what they can expect of you.
Live in the way you want to be perceived.
