Things We Forget

I know character appears when no one is watching.

I observe how people treat service workers.

I trust behavior more than promises.

I learn a lot from how someone apologizes.

I notice how people respond to boundaries.

I watch how people’s kindness shows itself in small moments.

I judge character by actions under stress.

I look for humility rather than confidence.

I notice how people speak about past relationships.

I listen for accountability in stories.
