Character

"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Character is what you really are. Reputation is what people say you are. Reputation is often based on character-but not always.
Character is how you react to thing-sensibly, without getting carried away by yourself or your circumstances. A person of character is trustworthy and honest, and for a dollar he or she will give you a dollar.
The other kind of person looks for the easy way out.
I like to think the players I coached, however they came to UCLA, left as men of character. But in truth, if they didn't have it when they came, I couldn't give it to them. By then it was too late. That's a job for a mother and father."

THANK YOU JOHN WOODEN

good day people. I'm really into shoes and I have been digging for the sake of that exact model. The prices due to the fact that the velcros are all over 330 pounds everwhere. But for all I found this location selling them as a remedy for half price. I exceptionally like these [url=http://www.shoesempire.com]gucci sneakers[/url]. I will probably buy them. what do you think?
