Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation. Your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others thinkyou are.
Winning takes talent, to repeat takes character.
Your reputation is what you're perceived to be, Your character is what you really are
To win once you must have talent, but to win again you must have character.
It is normal to enjoy praise and dislike criticism. True character is when you prevent either from affecting you in a negative matter.
Be more interested in character than reputation
We can become great in the eyes of others, but we'll never become successful when we compromise our character and show disloyalty toward friends or teammates. The reverse is also true: No individual or team will become great without loyalty.
Character is more important than any other leadership trait.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation.
How hard you work at correcting your faults reveals your character.
The true athlete should have character, not be a character
Worry about your character, not your reputation. Your character is who you are, and your reputetion is who people think you re.
Reputation is what others perceive you as being, and their opinion may be right or wrong. Character, however, is what you really are, and nobody truly knows that but you. But you are what matters most.
While you, the leader, can teach many things, character is not taught easily to adults who arrive at your desk lacking it. Be cautious about taking on reclamation projects regardless of the talent they may possess. Have the courage to make character count among the qualities you seek in others.
