The Choice of Us

The elders often says a good name 

is rather to be chosen than gold and silver. When a name is being protected that means the name has not match itself  with any criminal offence or any offence a may brings shame or reproaches to the person that bears the name in the society.  A good name brings respect,  honor,  dignity and recognitions to the person's that bears the name and even to the entire families . 

Dad can you please shed more light on the first sentence you mentioned said Hosea .

That's a parable , replied Bianca.  

I do not want to know maybe it's a parable or a phrase , I just want dad to explain it further more .

James, that's okay boy . As I was saying, a good name is rather to be chosen than gold and silver.  

Wait dad , Nelson interupt him .

Can you please let me landed first .

Nelson , I only want to give a remark to what you said . 

Ok am listening .

Nelson , my teacher once told us that a karat of gold can make one's life to flourish.  

Well , your teacher knows what he means when he says that and note he's only letting you know how valuables a gold is than any other  raw materials . 

Hosea , dad one more thing to ask concerning the name and the gold you mentioned .

You may go on , am listening . 

Hosea , ok , do you mean if I see a gold and a silver  on the floor and a name written in a paper on the floor too , am I advise to pick the name rather than the gold and the silver . 

Bianca,  what are you saying , afterall that's just a proverb . 

Nelson, how will you think like that Hosea.
