Quote #164: Leyland Verschure

Hi, I'm Leyland, from Dow High Student Leadership and member of the Midland Area Wellbeing Coalition. A quote that defines me is, "What is better: to be born good, or overcoming your evil nature through great effort?", said by Charles Martinet.

The reason I find this quote defining of me is because I was never always kind, caring, and happy but I used to be rude, mean and closed off from everybody. This quote supports my wellbeing by reminding me of how I was before.

So, what do you think is better being born good or overcoming your, “evil” or bad habits through great effort?

This has been brought to you by the Midland Area Wellbeing Coalition's Quotes to Live By Series. Goodbye.
