Quote by Carly Fiorina

“So, character is how you do things, as well as what you do, and a person of character understands that how they get things done matters as much as what they get done. Character is about integrity over time, trustworthiness over time, authenticity over time, generosity over time. Sometimes you’ll hear people talk a lot about values in conjunction with the word character, and I always say to people that values are what guide your behavior when no one is looking and you don’t think anyone will ever find out. The way you behave when you think you can get away with it is who you really are.”

“In sports, it is easier to win a championship than to remain a champion in subsequent seasons. And the same is true in life. Once you reach the top, it is more difficult to stay on top. Because, when you become the best in sports, and in life, everyone expects more from you and they want to take you down.”
