Student Success Statement: Proverbs 22:1

"A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches."

  This quote means that having people know your name and think great things is better having a lot of money. When people hear your name and think about all you have done it is best when they can think of positive things than negative. When thinking positive they can think of how kind and generous you are. When thinking negative they can think of how mean and selfish you are. It is up to you how you would like your name to be projected.

  There are many examples of how having a good name is better than having a lot of money. For example, you can have all the money in the world but never be happy due to your bad name. Or you can be the poorest of the poor but always be happy due to your good name. Like I stated before it based on you whether you will have a good or bad name. This is basically what this quoteis trying to say.

Student Success Staement: Coach K

"A good name is better than anything you can achieve in this life."-Coach K 

  This quote means that having people know that you are a good person is better than anything you can ever do in your life. People being able to hear your name and thinking of how good of a person you are is an amazing feeling. Rather than people hearing your name and thinking of horrible things which isn't such a good feeling. What is brought up when your name is stated is based on how you are as a person. This all goes to show how important it is for you to be a good person in life.

  There are many examples of how having people know that you are a good person is better than anything you can ever do in your life. For example, you are brought up in a conversation and everyone right away states how your so kind and nice, that would make you feel good about yourself. Another example would be you being brought up in a conversation and everyone begins to talk about how your mean and selfish, that wouldn't make you feel so good. this is basically what I                                                      understood from the quote.
