Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow

The inspiration.. 
Never mind what they think about you, just keep on showing the real thing.

Quote of the day.. 
Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; 

the tree is the real thing. 

--Abraham Lincoln
Other idea... 

What others see from us will clearly defined what they have in mind about us. So keep on showing good so that you will become better shadow around.

Firming question..
Do you possess multiple character that reflects?
