‘’Character is higher than intellect.’’ -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Yes it’s true having a good character is more important than having intellect why because having good character gets you somewhere in life and even when you die because you’ll go to heaven well that's if you believe in God which you should anyways getting off topic an example of why good character is more important than intellect would be this say you're very intelligent and you want to be a scientist or engineer so you go to an interview to get a job know there’s two versions of this the first being your a complete arrogant jerk who cares about nothing but themselves the boss notices that and does not like you but say you have a good personality and the boss loves you BOOM  you got yourself a job it's not just about skills it's about be social and liked.
