Character Oriented

I am giving the below wisdom(from frozen thoughts) which everyone should know. I faced a person(s),who gave lot of importance to their reputation rather than to their character. If they get any chance to see this post and understand the truth I will the happiest person. If they had gave importance to their character, lot of good things had been happened,but that didn't happen,even then it helped me to understand a lot about myself .Thanks to them :) :)

“Character is who you are .Reputation is what others think of you. Character is the man. Reputation is the shadow. Every time you catch the shadow,when the man moves, you will lose you grip on the shadow. Instead,catch the man and you have already caught the shadow. Character is the cause and reputation is the effect. When you work on the cause,you are already working on the effect. When you enhance the cause,you are already enhancing the effect. Enhance your character and you are already enhancing you reputation.
The reputation that is born out of character is sustained even during changing times. The reputation that is born in the absence of character not only needs a lot of servicing ,but also falls flat when the circumstances get stiffer.”
