Character is a victory, not a gift.

It implies that character is not innate or inherited, but is instead cultivated through one's actions, choices, and endurance in the face of challenges. It emphasizes the idea that true character is built through perseverance, self-discipline, and the ability to overcome obstacles, rather than being something that is simply given to someone. Thus, character is seen as a hard-earned virtue rather than a bestowed attribute.
