The Value of Character in Business (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Value of Character in Business I think there have been a great many innocent errors made with regard to the meaning of the word character. An employe going from one master to another used to be said to take with him a good character, when what was meant was that he was taking with him a good reputation. The difference is that the character of a man is what he makes of himself, while his reputation is what other people think about him.
