It takes a hundred atta-boys to equal one aw shit.
I have always tried to live that way. but in the last 21 years that I've run my own small business, I've found that it really is true. I've never made a lot of money and don't expect to. But I've made a lot of customers happy. I have a good reputation and that's important to me.
I have always felt that a good name is the only thing a man can truly take with him when he dies. Everything else that he has spend his life working for is just left to others. But his reputation, his good or bad name will always be his alone.
There is another post from someone today about worrying what others thing about you. And I agree. It's pretty unproductive to worry needlessly about how you are judged by others. But if a man truly doesn't care about being honorable, or honest, or noble and having a reputation that he and his loved one's can be proud of. I can't help believing that man's life is missing something.
