Character refers to the set of qualities, especially mind’s, that simply make a person, groups of people, and places distinctive from others. Character, in other words, is the realization of one's positive development as a person. This development covers in intellectual, social, emotional and ethical aspects.

It also means a person who is committed to making positive contributions to his/her community, and to promoting a democratic way of life. As our poet Laxmi Prasad Devkota puts 'a man is greater by his character and deeds not his caste'. A man of character also stands firmly against all injustices and respects the eternal laws of morality. Thus a man of good character means the best person as he/she has tried to be both for himself and for others.

There are many examples of this kind of people such as Florence Nightingale. She was committed to work for the diseased and injured people who were left uncared. She could establish nursing as a worthy and recognized profession. So she is always famous. Other people such as Devkota, Madam Curie and Mother Teresa are so great due to their character.
