my name . . .

Dec 10, 2006 12:21


there are two things a man has in this life:  his word and his name.

a mans name is in direct relation to his word.  the credibility of a mans word will in turn build the credibilty of his name.  therefore, i have lived by this and will continue to do so:

a mans name is only as good as his word.

why care?  whats the big deal about a mans name.  a name does not define us.  we define ourselves.  much like the definition of a word, that definition is shortened and represented by a single word.  our name is not what defines us, but it is a representation of how we define ourselves.  i take much pride in my name.  i take as much pride in my word.  i am truely sorry to all that i may have faultered.

we cannot see the value of our own name, it is there for others to see.  we simply hold it out for all to see.  i often wonder of the value of my name . . .

what is Hartman worth?
