"character matters most" Character matter the most because you need to be good when it comes down to business. This quote means that you need to be a good person or you wont truly be a man. Whatever you do you must choose the right. You need to stand up and be better than the others. You don't need to get drunk to have fun at all. You don't have to do anything that will endanger your life. When you are choosing the right you automatically become a good person with good character. You don't need tattoos to look good that's what Dale Murphy said. You can be a good person no matter what. If you do wrong you will never be a real man. You must do good in order to be a good person and have character.
