“A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.” Proverbs 22:1

                          

                               

The statement “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches” explain that to cheat and lie for money isn’t worth you ruining your reputation. If you want money then you should get it in a honorable way. Having a good name for yourself is better than riches. Everywhere you go your reputation precedes you. Such as in school they know all the grades you have and if you don’t care about your grades or test scores teachers will think you’re a lazy person even if you are trying to change. Another reason,having a good name is important. When people hear your name you would want them to think something good about it. Having a bad reputation will ruin your name. I agree with this statement because having “great riches” doesn’t mean much. Your name is what sets you up. When someone hears your name they’ll instantly have a reaction and it will either be good or bad. That reaction will warn others, who don't know you, about the kind of person you are. If someone says something negative about you and someone hears when that person meets you, they will already not like you......
