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 WoodenThe goal in life is the same as in basketball: make the effort to do the best you are capable of doing--in marriage, at your job, in the community, for your country. Make the effort to contribute in whatever way you can. You may do it materially or with time, ideas, or work. Making the effort to contribute is what counts. The effort is what counts in everything.
