A true friend is one who hears and understands when you share your deepest feelings. He supports you when you are struggling; he corrects you, gently and with love, when you err; and he forgives you when you fail. A true friend prods you to personal growth, stretches you to your full potential. And most amazing of all, he celebrates your successes as if they were his own.

from John C maxwell- becoming a person of influence

Integrity is not to be confused with reputation

The circumstances amid which you live determine your reputation...
the truth you believe determines your charecter..
Reputation is what you are supposed to be; Character is what you are....
Reputation is the photograph; Character is the face...
Reputation comes over one from without; character grows up from within...
Reputation is what you have when you come to a new community;
character is what you have when you go away
Your reputation is made in a moment;
your character is built in a lifetime
your reputation is learned in an hourl
your character does not come to light for a year.
Reputation grows like a mushroom
character lasts like eternerty..
Reputation makes you rich or makes you poor;
character makes you happy or makes you miserable
reputation is what men say about you on your tombstone;
character is what the angesls say about you before the throne of God.

Many succeed monentarily by what they know;

some succeed temporarily by what they do;

but

Few succeed permanently by what they are.

The Road of integrity may not be the easiest one, but it's the only one that will get you where you ultimately want to go.
