Choosing a good name

" A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches." Proverbs 22:1

I think that this statement means that if you are a good person than everyone will know you as a good person and that is more important than being rich. You need to set a good example of yourself so people can know you. However if you are really rich, than you are most likely going to be selfish and greedy. An example of this is that if you win the lottery, then that will change you from a good person to a greedy person. However, if you are a good person and do good deeds, everyone will know you as a nice person and have a good name for yourself. Having a good name for yourself is more important than being rich.
