Some excerpts from John Wooden.
Character is what you REALLY are. Reputation is what people say you are. Character is how you react to things --Sensibly withoug getting carried away by yourself or your circumstances. A person of character is trust worthy and honest and the type worth while to be in your life.
I believe and know those that I cared about lots are persons of character :P
Most all good things come thru adversity. There's a poem that says:
Looking back it seems to me,
All the grief that had to be
Left me when the pain was o'er
Stronger than I was before.
I believe that. We get stronger when we are tested. Adversity can make us better. and there will always be people of chracter standing alongside us every step of the way.
Its late, and I must head to bed now....early flight tomorrow to San Jose for day buz trip....it'll be fun to see the Acer folks again :P

Yeah, Pats are better...they will go 19-0. Don Shula is a joke...where does he ranked on the character spectrum.
ReplyDeleteCharacter and Reputation are not mutually exclusive. By virtue of having good character, it is inevitable that you will have good reputation. Conversely, if you have bad reputation, there is probably some flaw in your character to warrant the negative reputation.
Omm...
