Simplified Meaning:

When we make good choices and behave well, people trust and respect us. Keeping this good reputation is not very hard if we continue to act rightly. For example, if you always tell the truth, people will see you as honest. But if you lie and get caught, it is very difficult to make people trust you again. So once you damage your character, it takes a lot of hard work and time to get back the respect you lost. It’s important to be good and do the right thing all the time, so you don't have to fix your mistakes later.
