Reputation and Character, Read It, Memorize It

Reputation and Character
By William Hersey Davis

The circumstances amid which you live determines your reputation;
the truth you believe determines your character.

Reputation is what you are supposed to be;
character is what you are.

Reputation is the photograph;
character is the face.

Reputation comes over one from without;
character grows up from within.

Reputation is what you have when you come to a new community;
character is what you have when you go away.

Your reputation is learned in an hour;
your character does not come to light for a year.

Reputation is made in a moment;
character is built in a lifetime.

Reputation grows like a mushroom;
character grows like the oak.

A single newspaper report gives you your reputation;
a life of toil gives you your character.

Reputation makes you rich or makes you poor;
character makes you happy or makes you miserable.

Reputation is what men say about you on your tombstone;
character is what angels say about you before the throne of God

I regret not always being the jerk that I am now, I regret being such a nice forgiving guy in the past, I regret being that guy anyone could call for help with anything day or night, I regret letting people take advantage of me, I regret being accepting and not discerning when it comes to which friends I keep around, I regret submitting to female beauty to this day, I regret not always being as power hungry as I am now, I regret submitting to my parents and wasting my time in college, I kinda sorta regret devoting so much time to my old profession, though at the time it seemed like the best choice.

You learn from past mistakes, yet keep the better parts. Being forgiving is okay, as you absolve your anger and grudges...being nice and letting others take advantage of you are too diff things---one is a good quality to have, the other is just being a trick, simp and gullible..and we already know to submit to _________

 Jews can take alot of bullshit, but once you cross that very fine line of mutual respect, your fucked. Remember friends, at the end of the day no matter how you slice it, you all work for me ;)

I was a "trick simp an gullible" out of love for people, how did I know people are capable of betrayal on the highest levels, live and learn not to love or trust people so much. All the friends I've made since college are really just acquaintences to me, maybe one or two people I consider good friends, but all the people I cal "bro" and actually mean it, l met before I went off to college, though I live NYC and meet people all the time, so dropping and picking up friends gets to be a routine

That's a real good one man. I can relate to a lot of those. Sometimes I'm to nice let people get to know me to quick. I let a woman take advantage and push me around like a fool. I'm learning from my mistakes though.

You are only ever alive in the now, the past and future are irrelevant, regrets are for fools.

I have been gullible and have been a semi-simp, you have to learn from bumping your head...and many times you'll learn about looking at a person's character---I don't give a damn if a chick is fne as frog's hair, , you can smell shitty character...and that goes for dudes. Real dudes aren't flash and dash, when they speak, they look you in the eye, they talk with confidence and conviction...and don't use double talk, nor repeat a question after you ask it.

But, real friends you can count on one hand...real, real friends...

 a true badass simply "exists" he does not try friend. Do not wake up scared or excited about the day will bring. This is the way I live my life, and I love it because you can never be dissapointed, and only suprised.

Existing is easy, I don't even have to try, you are my new guru until someone comes along with a better montra

i regret being born 10 years to early cause the internet kinda sucked backed then cause now we have imagefap, endless variety of free porn and plenty of fish

i regret working out so damn much in my late teens and early twenties what a fuckin waste just spinning my wheels and constantly dieting thinking i was improving  ::) ::)

Life Lesson; try to NEVER forget one night stands or short flings with hoes because remembering those times are gold when you are grinding it out at work and times are tough or need something to reflect on

Life lesson" always wear a fucking condom

i regret graduating highschool i shouldve learned electronics or a few trades instead of wasting my time

i regret getting stoned alot in my teens and early twenties with "bros" who were basically cockblocking me the whole time also for long lasting health effects from smoking

again i regret weightlifting so much, i guess i really beleived i was some super power when in reality i was just pretty cut up. But i had to weightlift like crazy to prove to myself if it was a worthy cause or not

i regret not fucking more semi obese girls with monsterous asses and anorexic girls i find these two types are superior fun in the sack

i regret not studying more math since it seems to be the real matrix but fed to us in the wrong way by public education
