“The Importance of Good Character”
John Wooden’s wisdom is timeless, and this famous quote of his continues to become more and more important and applicable as time goes by. Character is much more important. A reputation that is gained without character is hypocrisy. A reputation that grows out of a good character is simply giving honor to whom honor is due. Abraham Lincoln “Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.”
