"比起你的名声，更应关心你的品格，因为品格才是你真正的样子，而名声只是别人以为你的样子。"
— John Wooden

Simplified Meaning:
Focus on being a good and honest person, rather than worrying about what others think of you. Imagine a student who always helps classmates and works hard. The student is kind and hardworking (that's their character). But some students might gossip and say mean things about them (that's their reputation). The important thing is to keep being kind and hardworking, regardless of the gossip. Over time, people will see the truth. By being true to yourself, your real friends and future opportunities will come because of who you are, not just what others say about you.
