I value my reputation. I work hard to avoid even the appearance of impropriety.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Partly, I like a bad reputation. But I also want a reputation of being a good person.
I've been enormously fortunate. People say, 'How do you feel about your reputation?' My real belief is that I have exactly the reputation I deserve... on the whole, I feel comfortable with myself.
A good reputation is more valuable than money.
One of the biggest things you have is your reputation and your reputation with knowing what's good and what's not good.
I value my friends.
I take things like honor and loyalty seriously. It's more important to me than any materialistic thing or any fame I could have.
It is essential to employ, trust, and reward those whose perspective, ability, and judgment are radically different from yours. It is also rare, for it requires uncommon humility, tolerance, and wisdom.
I value my privacy and my personal life - and I certainly don't exploit my personal life.
I've never tried to enhance my reputation. Never moved upwards from one thing to another. That sort of thing is of no interest to me at all.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
