"Character Versus Reputation"


"Be more concerned about your character than your reputation because your character is who you are and your reputation is just what other think of you".

"Live by your character rather than your reputation because reputation can be rebuild but ones you lost your character you are just a worthless puppet in the society."

It is a misfortune to have those people in the world and actually be put in the position of been discriminated just because you are who you are. In other words or so they don't know who they are and only believe in one thing from. What they think is right. Too be truthfully honest this world doesn't seem to be right. But we have our friends which fills a gap and then we have relationships which fills in another gap. We surround ourselves with what we can make right together and we have our opinions on things.

"...a desire to be captivating in the depths of who you are. Cinderella is beautiful, yes, but she is also good. Her outward beauty would be hollow were it not for the beauty of her heart. That's why we love her. ... This isn't about dresses and makeup. Beauty is so important... don't you recognize that a woman yearns to be seen, and to be thought of as captivating? We desire to possess a beauty that is worth pursuing, worth fighting for, a beauty that is core to who we truly are. We want beauty that can be seen; beauty that can be felt; beauty that affects others; a beauty all our own to unveil."
