Neil Cavuto is one of my favorite TV commentators. I think he is the most accomplished financial analyst and business friend for entrepreneurs on TV today. He gets it.
Today, in his closing monologue - "Common Sense" - he paid a tribute to a friend of his.
The takeaway line was this: "It's not how you deal with the good things in life, it's how you handle the bad."
Isn't that the measure of character? Anyone can smile in the happy times. Someone who can smile and not whine or complain in the not-so-happy times - even dealing with a life-claiming disease as in this case - is demonstrating an internal strength and peace. In a word, this is character. Though Neil didn't say so, I think it's also a case of faith.
