Character and Reputation. What’s the difference?
When you go by the definition according to the dictionary, what we really understand is:
Reputation: overall quality or character as seen or judged by people in general
Character: the mental and moral qualities distinctive to an individual If you take a look at the definitions, you will notice that reputation is simply what others think of you. It is a formulated opinion. It is important for others to think highly of you, but your life should not be based on it. In contrast to reputation, Character is who someone is! Character is what you really are, who you are when no one is looking, not the face you see in the mirror but the face behind the face.

They learn from their mistake and make genuine efforts to build a strong character like Bill Clinton did. He accepted his mistake openly and got his integrity back. As life could have he went on to develop very strong character and continues to earn respect as a great statesman of our times.
But sometimes, in spite of doing your best people may still talk badly of you. You have to accept that you cannot stop people from creating their own perceptions, nor can you stop anyone from talking negatively about you. But if you are strong in your ethics and have faith in your abilities then you do not have to worry about anything because truth will prevail and you will always lead a happy life.
Remember, it takes a long time to develop a great character but with commitment and efforts you can achieve anything. So, go and build a strong character and allow people to create an equally strong reputation of you.
Reputation makes you rich or makes you poor;
Character makes you happy or makes you miserable.
Reputation is what men say about you on your tombstone;
Character is what angels say about you before the throne of God.
Reputation grows like a mushroom; character grows like an oak.
