Life is a series of choices woven together by the threads of habit. First, we make our habits, and then our habits make us. Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924, pictured on the left), the 28th president of the United States, observed, "Character is a byproduct. It is produced in the great manufacture of daily duty." And he was right. Our lives are the byproduct of thousands upon thousands of choiceschoices that we make moment by moment and day be day. Below, we consider the rewards of wise choices and the consequences of unwise ones. Read and heed.
