Inspiair to have sound character, then reputation, which in turn will be mutually beneficial.
PMA, positive mental attitude. That attitude will only make any situation better. Maybe not perfect, but better. One very important component of PMA, is having sound character. I believe in my heart sound character is more important than reputation. Why? Character is what we do when no one is looking, in hard times, when we don’t get anything in return for our action. Character may take courage, to do the right thing in a tough situation. Character is who we are, not what we appear. As opposed to reputation, this is how we are viewed by others. There are many people who have a reputation of being good, just, etc. .... but in reality, are far from those characteristics. It is how you appear. Unfortunately, to me, many in society reverse the order of importance. In the long run, if you continue to do the right thing(s), even if not appreciated by all, you will have a reputation of having sound character .... and that is inspiaring.
