"The things you do when no one is looking are the things that define you." If the Chrysler car company has that figured out, and is using it to push their newest vehicle, how come we can't? Since when is an advertising team smarter than the average Joe/Jane? (Unless, of course, it's BECAUSE they're smarter that they can manipulate us?) Either way, it IS a truth that should be universally acknowledged (to borrow a phrase of Jane Austen)!

There's a reason why we do those sorts of things where no one can see us…


Oh, wait, nevermind.

I take it to mean act honorable, and do the right thing, even when you know you won't get aknowldedged for it.

Daryle Leiker said...

I do the same things when someone IS looking. I have nothing to hide or be ashamed of.

Kae B said...

Good for you, Daryle.

Kae B said...

That's certainly one way to read it, Crystal! :)

Daryle Leiker said...

Oh. Good point Crystal makes. Guess it is all about trust.

Kae B said...

Too many people do things because they wish to be noticed and praised, and fail to act, otherwise!

Daryle Leiker said...

Oh my. Good point. I keep a low profile and am very happy with one very special person.

Kae B said...

Very wise!

your quote reminds me of john wooden's comment (he was the former coach of ucla basketball, but a man of thoughtfulness as well): "be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.”

he also said (years before the chrysler commercial): “the true test of a man’s character is what he does when no one is watching."

annnnnd, while i'm on his bio-website, will add this one... i like it.. alot: "you can’t live a perfect day until you do something for someone who will never be able to repay you.”
