naturalist and politician John Lubbock wrote‚ “Your character will be what you yourself choose to make it.” I agree with John Lubbock‚ because I believe we choose our character traits. We make decisions in our lives‚ some life changing decisions‚ some small irrelevant decisions‚ that could change our minds according to how we process our choices.
