Class never runs scared. With class, you can meet life head on and handle whatever comes along.
Jacob had it. Esau didn’t. Symbolically, we can look at Jacob’s wrestling match with the angel. Those who have class have wrestled with their own personal “angel” and won a victory that marks them thereafter.[emember_protected custom_msg=”Click here and register now to read the rest of the article!”]
Class never makes excuses, and learns from its past mistakes. Class is considerate of others. It knows that good manners are nothing more than a series of petty sacrifices.
Class conveys an aristocracy that has nothing to do with ancestors or money. The most affluent blueblood can be totally without class while the descendant of a Welsh miner may ooze class from every pore.
Class never tries to build itself up by tearing others down. Everyone is comfortable with the person who has class, because he is comfortable with himself. If you have class, you don’t need much of anything else. If you don’t have it, no matter what else you have, it doesn’t make much difference. It’s a matter of class.
