A Daily Dose #39: Character vs. Reputation! 😶

in #art6 years ago

How are you all doing my fellow Steemians! Imawreader here! I would like to share another artwork and an interesting quote from my 'A Daily Dose' series following my previous post A Daily Dose #38: What are your Biggest Regrets?

“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
#CharacterVsReputation

artwork by Agnes Cecile

You thrive in a community and wishes to get noticed. You want to build your identity, your own mark. You aim high to be with the greats. But often, you forget who you are.

Driven by your reason why you started, you sometimes become anybody else, far different from who you really are.

Becoming reputable can be good, but forgetting your character can be fatal. Anybody would notice a change in you. You might start to have lots of new acquaintances, but you'll never know whom will trust you and who you will trust in return.

Have you been concerned to your reputation than your character?


How did you feel about the artwork? How about the message above? Would you mind sharing your story?

A Daily Dose series features art from various artists accompanied with an inspirational quote. It's a one way to show my appreciation to art and the artist.

I loved the artwork. It’s beautiful and lovely depicting images it tries to portray one’s feelings about life.
And as Abraham Lincoln once said, “Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.”

You were right about that. We sometimes think of our reputation a very important asset but what we often forget is the changes in our character as we are building our reputation. It shouldn't be neglected.

Yes, you're right. I agree.
