Greetings, everyone!
I'm so excited to be part of this contest in ladiesofhive community. The first two topics were interesting, and I had to go for the second topic because it's important to know this one, as people who want to go far in life, as long as this life is concerned.

Talents and character are not the same thing. They have different meanings. Talent is a man's inherent ability to showcase his skills to the world while character is the quality of a man's integrity, values, humility, and kindness towards others in society.
People on social media, or social media figures or influencers seems to prioritize their talents over their characters. Not knowing that the character speaks volumes better than talent. It can fade if the character is not built.
However, what makes a talented man last longer is character. It sustains a man's. Scripturally, some men couldn't stay in the call of the lord to the end because they lacked character. It could be impatience, unfaithfulness, lies, infidelity, and more.
The life of Joseph is the sweetest example of a man who obeyed every instruction of God in the Bible, and at the end, he received a crown of honor and glory because of his character.
Many social media influencers seem to lose relevance because their characters couldn't keep up with them. Their voices are not heard anymore.
Reels on any social media platform can fade but people's values will always speak louder.
Moreover, we should build character that will cause people to respect you in any way you are going to.
As young people who are growing or aspiring to social media space, take time to build character, which lasts and sustains a person's vision or dreams. Prioritize character; this is what makes a leader. A leader without character bounces to fail.
