"A good name is more desirable than great riches, to be esteemed is better than silver or gold" Proverbs 22:1
You can read: Proverbs 22:1-6
When you leave this world behind, what would it remember you by? Were you someone who spread goodness and cheer, or were you someone who led by cunning, deceit and wrong intentions?
A name conjures up feelings of good or bad that are associated with it. For example, you hear the name Sy, Tan, Ayala or Lopez, and you instantly associate that with the biggest families in business in the country. Or you hear Francis Kong, Andrew Liuson, and you know that these are successful businessmen who are also very vocal about their faith.
Then you read about Bernie Maddof, and then the connection switches instantly. Here now is a rich Wall Street financial broker, now infamous because of duping people into a sophisticated pyramiding scheme.
When others hear your name, what would they associate it with? Why don't we all take some time out and reflect about what our name would be associated with?
