"BE MORE CONCERNED WITH YOUR CHARACTER THAN YOUR REPUTATION, BECAUSE YOUR CHARACTER IS WHAT YOU REALLY ARE, WHILE YOUR REPUTATION IS MERELY WHAT OTHERS THINK YOU ARE." - JOHN WOODEN
I just watched a noon time show yesterday, every guest contestants have to say their motto. Someone said this and i searched the internet I found out about this.
John Robert Wooden was an American basketball player and coach. Nicknamed the "Wizard of Westwood," he won ten National Collegiate Athletic Association national championships in a 12-year period as head coach for the UCLA Bruins, including a record seven in a row.
In this world full of racial discrimination and since humans are naturally judgemental, we must think that nobody is perfect. As gay i was discriminated by the society. I was bullied in my grade school and high school because I'm a soft guy, flamboyant. But i become stronger because of the bullying and hating that i got that time. I get used to the moment that everytime i go out and about i see people murmuring. I remember someone said to her daughter loudly while near me "Beauty and the BEAST" inside an establishment. But i ignored him. Music is my only way of expressing myself I guess that was my character. I am a loner but i happen to have friends and i had enjoyed hanging out with them. But it seems that in your lifetime you'll get to meet those people that stay through your bad and good days and some are just passerbys who left you with good or bad memories. Although my past wasn't that great, i was still thankful that it all helped me shape and mold what i am today. I am as brave as those male singers going out as gays like Sam Smith, Justin Timberlake and so on. I'm not good at making essays i know and this is sounding so dramatic lol but i just wanna inspire you guys not to worry and let your CHARACTER outshine your REPUTATION.
That's it for now. Have a great Sunday 😁
