'' A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.''
~ Proverbs 22:1
what this quote means is that it is better to be know for something good that you did than to be rich. and if you have good name. also if you get a career you might even be rich. if you want to be rich first you should earn your name then be rich.
many people think just because their rich they are someone good in life. a good name can get you somewhere far in life. doctors,teachers,agents,nurses,etc. have a good name and that made them rich. the good thing is first they earned their name then their money.
many people are rich but they don't have a good name. people who are rich and don't have a good name that is a sad life. having a good name is the best thing that you can have in the whole wide world.

''A good name is better than anything you can achieve in this life''
  ~ Coach K
 This quote doesn't mean like if your name is ugly or pretty. what it means is that people can know you for bad things. so your name is dirty. If your name is good it is because you have earned it. you have to earn your name. every teacher earns their  name you can't call them Mr. unless if they earn it by going to school and tingeing your degrees. you cant be called doctor unless you earn it you have to go to school and earn your name. principals cant be called principals if they don't earn it. officers cant be called officers unless they earn it.
these are examples of that if you have a good name you can achieve in life in many different ways.
