What I learn from the character of Ragged Dick

In this story, I found that Ragged Dick has a quality of detachment and his self-honesty fosters integrity as well as his achievements toward life. His is also likely to be ambitious, keep in mind to give more rooms for innovation and advance his level. But still is prepared to work hard and weather the difficult periods in order to achieve his goals. It shows how he deals with his working life and goals in this chapter. Even he is going to higher position, he still want keep his old stuff to remind himself of the hard. He is probably a steady, determined worker and he expect nothing to be easy, and never take for granted the support and good will of others. Still, he is always welling to see new opportunities when they arrive on your doorstep. I think because he is loyal and devoted, and feeling that he is always able to offer practical help to others. Like the part in the story, he carried his colleague to take his place after he quit. I really think he is so supportive and genuinely concerned about the people around him or even the stranger. So that’s why he let himself involve into the unnecessary risk-taking to save the boy’s life by jumping into the water. With his integrity, self-discipline and a respect for the old fashioned virtues of loyalty and chariness for others, of course his reputation reflects his good personalities. When the chance coming, People can easily recognize his worth and receive the kind of recognition he deserves. Because he owns such quality of his personality, it ensures that he is likely to be a very high achiever later on. From this story, I think Ragged Dick can be a good model for us to learn.
