The Value Of A Good Reputation
A reputation is an animal designed by committee: you give birth to it, but the way it develops depends on the actions of others.
Your reputation lives a very real existence apart from you, representing the collective mental construct everyone but you shares about you, a construct based partially on your own actions but also on the perceptions others have about others' perceptions of your actions.
this seems like some sort of god that people worship in favor of lucifer.
i don’t care of my reputation in school i just care of my reputation outside of school with my family and friends.
When you make a reputation of yourself can you change a reputation to something better out of you self or live with what you are or seem what you are.
We only ever have influence over our reputation—never control—as is the case with all things external to us, but it remains one of our most precious assets (far more important than any one job, house, car, or even, some would argue, money). Just why it's so important and how to positively influence it is the subject of this post.
i agree to this because i do see that people’s reputation dose relate to what and what someone has.
INTERNAL VS. EXTERNAL VALUE
Our reputation represents the way others look at us and as such is at once critically important and utterly trivial. Utterly trivial because if we have a healthy self-esteem we won't need others to think well of us (though many of course do struggle with this and often find their sense of value vulnerable to the opinions of others—especially their perception of the collective opinions of others). Critically important, however, because even those of us with resilient self-esteem live in a great social network and need a good reputation for practical purposes—friendship and income chief among them. It's hard to have friends if people think you're mean-spirited and hard to make a living in any capacity if people think you're lazy, unreliable, or dishonest.
I disagree with this sentence because you build your own reputation based on how you treat and act with people.
I know people that have low self-esteem and they don’t care what people think of them.
If a good living need to have a good reputation how bad can a small effect of a bad reputation can affect you?
Our reputation is a tool, then—not, hopefully, for creating or maintaining our self-esteem but for practical navigation through daily life, a good one smoothing out the journey somewhat, a bad one causing doors to slam in our face and testing our confidence in ourselves.
Reputation dose effect if you are hired for a good job or how someone else gives someone else good or bad news about you.
HOW TO BUILD A GOOD REPUTATION
In all things, it's harder to build than to destroy. Building a good reputation requires effort, patience, and time. Destroying a good reputation only requires a single moment's misstep. The secret to building a good reputation? Become a person who deserves one. Take consistent action that embodies the characteristics you want others to associate with you. Don't just mouth the platitudes of hard work, attention to detail, loyalty, and drive—live them. In fact, don't mouth them at all. Let others discover them in you.
I feel like this statement is very true in the world it is proven
Be disconnected with what people think you are. We live our own lives, doing what every individual would done differently. As long as fulfillments and well-being stay with us, then reputation isn’t matter. An opinion isn’t a fact, and a perspective isn’t a truth.
I agree with this part, often times it’s much easier to destroy almost anything that to built it. Or faster to destroy it but it takes longer to built it.
I believe in this word for the reason that it is easy to go to the wrong path but when you do it’s hard to make it people see that you have changed.
I think that it is easier to build a bad one then to make a good one.
I love this quote.
The key to having a good reputation (if you care to have a good reputation) it’s exactly what this three sentences are saying.
this paragraph is a good source because it informs you how to build a good reputation.
Pretty much saying that if you want your reputation to be a good one, you have to live up to what you say you are because sooner or later people are going to notice your hypocrisy and from there, your reputation lives on as all bark, no bite.
A reputation is a fragile thing. It requires constant feeding. Consistency is crucial. If you live up to your reputation 99% of the time but fail to do so 1% of the time, you risk disproportionate damage if the person you let down is highly influential in your network. A good reputation shouldn't be an end in itself but rather a natural outgrowth of your striving to be the person you most want to be.
THE BENEFITS OF A GOOD REPUTATION
- You can't stop others from maligning you, but a good reputation can come to your rescue when other members of your network rise to your defense without your even knowing it. We are, in fact, all caretakers of one another's reputations. In a society in which simply being accused is enough to render a conviction in the court of public opinion, we would all do well to presume not only innocence but goodness until facts prove otherwise. We all need to be kinder to and gentler with one another.
- A good reputation provides you a target at which to keep aiming. Sometimes you may not feel like you deserve your reputation, that's it's better than you are. Rather than lament your weaknesses, let your good reputation serve as motivationfor you to try to improve yourself.
- A good reputation represents a great marketing strategy. When I find a service provider of any kind whose performance outshines their competition, they become like gold to me. I use them repeatedly, recommend them enthusiastically to others, and don't begrudge paying them what they're worth.
- A good reputation inspires others. We all need positive role models, even the best and brightest among us.
This is saying that people should not worry about what others have to say about them. That they should just be them and if they get noticed for them then they should be happy with whatever they get. People should not care what others have to say about them.
We’re exist in our own terms; enjoying our own companies. One day in our lifetimes, we need to create our own sunshine, and not standing in or putting ourselves into someone else’s paths. It depends on appreciation of each person. Not everyone shares the same vision.
This does not always apply to everyone, you might have a good reputation but there is always a hater out there trying to mess with people.
I think that’s a good idea and more peers should get that good understanding because most youth don’t have opportunities to get this information to motivate them.
Some may think reputation doesn't matter or shouldn't matter, that we should all focus on doing our best, on being our best, and let others think what they may. Certainly, I agree we should never seek to manipulate what others think about us (it never works in the long run anyway), but to ignore the practical importance of a good reputation cheats us of many opportunities we might otherwise enjoy. Caring about our reputation doesn't mean we need others to like us. It means recognizing that as human beings we often can't help judging a book by its cover and that as long as the book itself is good there's nothing wrong with caring about having an attractive cover around it.
Your reputation should only matter to you for the things that really are important to you, and things that actually matter.

Some people who have it good is because they play sports or the people they hang around.
So based on how I look I am being judged. As a mean girl, cool, interesting, backstabber. All these labels come but caring is an initial part of well high school in my case I don’t know who has control over what I just know I can prove you wrong about what you thought about me.
