Choosing a good name

“A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.”

Proverbs 22:1

This quote means that it is good to have a good to have a good reputation because when people hear your name they would know good things about you. It’s good having a name than riches because having money doesn’t make you a good person. When you do bad things people would only know you by the only bad you’ve done and none of the good. It’s like if you ruin your reputation because you never do anything good to anyone. You will most likely not be able to change that. For example, at school they already know your name whether you smart, athletic, a trouble maker, etc. When people have a good name they are most likely to succeed. Thy are known for always being good and have a good reputation and they don’t even have all the riches. When you have a bad name then you will probably not be able to succeed unless you try to change that.  It’s not good being known to have a bad name because people will just think bad about you. It’s important and good that you have a good name than having the riches.
