It is important to inculcate sincerity in the character of the youth. To give a youth a love of sincerity is extremely useful, for the power of sincerity can work miracles. Also pride, a natural spirit which grows in a youth, must be molded into an ideal. The same pride which makes man stiff, stern, and inconsiderate, if developed into what is called self-respect, will be the true sign of honor in life; for pride when guided into the right channel gives rise to consideration. Such a person becomes careful not to think, say, or do what falls beneath his standard of virtue. Pride rightly directed molds the character, and it is the perfected character which culminates in an ideal.
