Never let loyalty and kindness leave you! Tie them around your neck as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart. Then you will find favor with God and people, and you will earn a good reputation.
I guess earning a good rep. during school is important to a lot of people. Loyalty and kindness are two qualities people can never get enough of. But what does a good reputation mean anyways? Friends, grades, popularity? I guess loyalty and kindness can help get you there but I don't think that was what Proverbs is aiming for. I think "a good reputation" means a lot more than just popularity. There is nothing wrong with being popular, it's what you do with it that really matters.
