"سمعتك هي ما يعتقده الآخرون عنك؛ شخصيتك هي ما أنت عليه بالفعل. يمكن التلاعب بالسمعات؛ لا يمكن سوى تطوير الشخصية والحفاظ عليها."

Simplified Meaning:

Think about a famous person like an actor. People might have lots of ideas about who this actor is just from what they see on TV or in movies. These ideas are like the actor’s reputation—what people think they know about them. However, who the actor really is behind the cameras and away from the spotlight, how they treat others, and what they believe in—this is their true character. Reputations can change based on rumors or actions that people hear about, and sometimes these ideas can be right or wrong. For instance, someone might spread a false rumor that the actor is mean, and suddenly everyone might start thinking they are a bad person, even if it's not true. That’s how reputations can be manipulated or changed by what information gets shared. On the other hand, character is deeper and more solid. It is built by consistently acting with honesty, kindness, and integrity, no matter who is watching. The actor may always be respectful and generous to everyone they meet. This true nature is their character, which they have developed and continue to show through their actions, not just their image. So, it's important for everyone to focus on who they really are and strive to be the best version of themselves, rather than getting caught up in what others might think. In real life, if you always try to be honest and kind, people who know you well will recognize your true character, even if others have different opinions. Your actions over time build your real self, which is much more important than a temporary image.
