Food For Thought

I came across a quote in my Leadership textbook today during class and thought it provided some food for thought:

"The character that takes command in moments of critical choices has already been determined. It has been determined by a thousand of other choices made earlier in seemingly unimportant moments. It has been determined by all those 'little' choices of years past -- by all those times when the voice of conscience was at war with the voice of temptation -- whispering a lie that 'it doesn't really matter,' It has been determined by all the day-to-day decisions made when life seemed easy and crises seemed far away, the decisions that piece by piece, bit by bit, developed habits of discipline or of laziness, habits of self-sacrifice or self-indulgence; habits of duty and honor and integrity -- or dishonor and shame."

--President Ronald Reagan

Any thoughts?
