"A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches " 
                                                                                                                                     Proverbs 22:1




In my opinion this statement means it is better for people to know you by who you are rather than by how wealthy you are . I rather have people know me for how I am rather than them just know me for my money . I recognized as a good person and  a very honest person as well . I like for my name tp be spoken with respect and that is what makes me happy .
