Thought for the Day - Character

By
Real Estate Agent with Rich Sellers Lake Arrowhead, CA (Coldwell Banker)

You want your reputation and your character to match, but concentrate on your character. You may be able to fool others about the kind of person you really are for a time, but it seldom lasts for long. The surest way to make sure your character and your reputation are the same is to live your life in such a way that nothing you do would embarrass you if it were printed on the front page of the newspaper. Good character means not ever taking ethical shortcuts, even though everyone else may be doing so. You build good character by doing the right thing because it's the right thing to do.

Dear Rich,

Always good to start the day with a thought about what is really important. Others see us for who we are - don't they?

Portrait of Robert Burns

 

 My dad always reminded us of what Robert Burns, (1759-1796), the poet from Scotland, said in his poem, "To A Louse",
"O would some power the giftie gie us, to see ourselves as others see us."    

That was Burns' way to say what you said, "You may be able to fool others about the kind of person you really are for a time, but it seldom lasts for long."

Have a happy day -
Lynn

You spend a lifetime taking multiple actions to build your reputation and yet it takes only one action to ruin it! Thanks for sharing.
