We should make decisions in a structured manner. The Character Counts! decision making model is: 1) Clearly identify the situation. 2) Consider all stakeholders. 3) The Six Pillars of Character outrank and override both non-ethical and unethical ones. 4) When two core ethical values conflict, choose the one that will produce the most good for the greatest number of people. Nutrition Quick Tip Looking for a way to get more fruits and vegetables? Try these quick tips. At breakfast, slice a banana and put in your cereal. Drink some 100% orange juice. At lunch, try some vegetable soup packed in a thermos to keep it hot. For an afternoon snack, slice an apple and dip in peanut butter. For dinner, try a fruit salad. All you have to do is cut up some of your favorite fruits and mix them together.
