Lincoln said that character is like
a tree and reputation is like its shadow. The shadow is what you might think to be
true while the tree is the reality. Do you give too great an importance to what
others think of you? Are you afraid of being criticized and, therefore, try to
adapt your ideas and behavior to the “flow”? But the opinion of others about
you has nothing to do with what you really are. Your true essence is personal,
original, free and independent from anybody’s
opinion. You are “the tree”. Don’t allow your branches to be identified with
the shadow they cast on the ground.
