"It is not our abilities...that show us what we truly are, it is our choices."

A quote from Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling.

I believe that this quote is one well said. It is true. Our choice represent us as a person than our abilities. When we make good decisions, we earn a good reputation. It is our bad decisions that make us look bad and we feel bad as well. Abilities, otherwise, can be earned in a day, but the choices we make are past. We shape who we are as people by our options, not by talent. For, as Dumbledore said, 

"It is our not our abilities...that show us what we truly are, it is our choices."
