My husband came across the program from my father-in-law's high school graduation，90 years ago.It was the Class of1928 and their class motto（格言）was "Build for character，not for fame. "
   I'm pretty sure society has done a full reverse on that one.
   These days，we have people who are famous for simply being famous.They haven't done anything particularly impressive，but they do take great selfies.
   We are all obsessed with fame these days，mainly thanks to social media.All we want is for people to follow us，friend us，like us，or share our posts.We are nearly desperate for fame.
   "Build for character，not for fame，is based on the assumption that one is looking up and ahead.That's an encouraging idea，especially today，when most of us have our heads down，looking at the screens of our smartphones.Looking ahead and building for character takes thought and intentionality（意向性）.
   One can be intentional in building for fame as well，but fame often relies heavily on the right timing and connections，as well as the creation of a base of fans and supporters.
   Character isn't subject to the ideas of others.Character is built with self-discipline（自律），and a willingness to learn from difficulties.Character grows internally（內(nèi)在地）and needs no applause.
   Fame depends on people looking at you，while character is who you are when no one is looking.
   Fame often comes with jealousy（嫉妒）a feeling that time is running out or that someone better than you is coming to steal your fans.
   Character is marked by feeling content and being generous.There is satisfaction that comes with the reward of achievements，but at the same time，good character willingly holds the door open for others who are also hoping to achieve.
   This commencement（畢業(yè)典禮）season，speakers will tell new graduates to get out there and build a better world.
   The best way to build a better world is to build character，the kind that runs deep and can carry you through life's storms.
   Build character with courage，justice（正）and strength.Build character by respecting yourself and respecting others.Build character with kindness，hope and love.Build for character and you will build a better world.
