What if we valued character over Wealth?
Howie Chan
(The Brand Coach)
Contributed by Corné van Nijhuis
Imagine a world where:
• Your humility speaks louder than your title
• Your generosity outlasts any first impression
• Your integrity weighs more than your degrees
• Your kindness shines brighter than your bank account
What would your life look like? And if everyone embodied that, what would the world look like?
Sure, you might call me naive and idealistic. So what if I am?
I believe if we want the world to change, we have to change. If we want a better world, we'll need
to place value on what would make the world better.
We don’t need more stuff.
We don’t need more billionaires.
We don’t need more big corporations.
We need more communities lifting up the weak.
We need more people supporting each other.
We need more positivity and love.
So if you meet someone with these qualities, hold them in high regard. If not, strive to be that
person. A beacon of generosity, integrity, humility, and kindness. That is what we should be known for.
