The Six Pillars of Character

The six pillars of character are trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship.
Trustworthiness is the stated of being trusted. You gain this trust by being honest, reliable, and not cheating.
Respect is more of a series of actions. There are many things you can do to respect others like using good manners and being tolerant of others and their ideas.
Responsibility can be shown in many ways like being self-disciplined or having self-control. Taking the fault when you are the one that is in fault is another way to show responsibilities.
Fairness is very similar to respect. To be fair one must be open-minded as well as not cheat. You must also not take advantage of others.
Caring is the action of showing good emotions to others like being compassionate of expressing gratitude. It also has a lot to do with helping others.
Citizenship is also a very important characteristic. It means to know what is going on in your community and stay informed, as well as respecting authority.
I don't believe you necessarily have to comply with all of these pillars. If you only have 5 of these characteristics it is fine because nobody is perfect.
