Names

“ A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches”

What this means is that when you going to introduce yourself to the college principal and they have your record and you have bad stuff. You are going to have a bad a name and they might not want you to attend the college because you're going to put a bad reputation to the college. But in other words if you have a good record and then you'll have a good name and they will probably accept you if you have what they are looking for.When also looking for a job they will probably look at your record and see what you have done. They will check to see if you have ever done drugs if you have been arrested or if you have been to jail. When they are look for employes you have to make sure that you have a good record. If not they will probably not hire you or maybe if you have good experience and you have been working in that for a while they probably will get you. In some places they don't have to see your record they just ask for your application and they see if you have experience and they probably will get you if you do good. When they will probably check your record would when you go to a more professional job one where they give you a interview and ask you a bunch of questions. That is what this means to me and it is probably something different from you.
