Character is Greater than Reputation

The inspiration.. 
Your reputation is a bonus for having a good character.

Quote of the day.. 
"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation,
because your character is what you really are, while your
reputation is merely what others think you are."

-- John Wooden

  Other idea... 

Don't put more focus to reputation, your pride is for the mean time only. Put more focus to character, which is the outcome of  learning and becoming.

Firming question..
Are you conscious of your reputation?
