I'll be writing about reputation and personal image.
Firstly, the meaning of reputation is what a person is known for, what a person does, and how he or she is noticed.
Reputation is really important in one's life; it is really good and important for a person to value his or her reputation. Reputation can be built in so many ways; these may include loyalty, trust, faithfulness, competency, consistency deligent, and so on.
Having a good reputation can be important in various ways which can include;
- Having a good personal relationship: Having a good reputation can help build and strengthened a relationship which can last for a life time.
- Having a good reputation and public image can bring about a good social and Community involvement.
Also, a good business reputation can also bring customers's loyalty and trust to your business.
Also, a good professional reputation can help a person's growth, leading to new careers and good opportunities.
However, it's really important to have a balance between having a good reputation and keeping private matters to one's self, accepting one's flaws and imperfections, being true, and not pretending to be someone else because it's helpful in one's day-to-day life.
Also remember that a good reputation is built on good character and words, and a person focusing on building a good sense of self and also treating others with kindness and respect. If all this are done a good reputation and positive image follows.
We have two types of reputation, i.e., the positive and the negative reputation. Most times people usually have a negative image because of how they cannot resist the urge to do bad.
Having a positive image can be achieved if a person does this:
Being genuine to yourself and others. Don't be what you are not, and do not try to do a particular thing just to impress people.
Take responsibility for what you do and try not to shift blames or make excuses for everything that happens to you. Always strive to be the best, and in situations you can't help, just make sure that you cover it up next time by doing better.
Develop yourself to a point where nobody can detect that you cannot do a particular thing. Always make sure that you are good in many areas. As the world is evolving, do well to also develop yourself in a way that you are able to fit in in most areas. By doing this, you would gain trust in so many things, if not all.
Learn from feedback and make sure that you don't get angry with people who criticize you. If you hate criticism, you may not grow because there are people who know better than you, and if you listen to them, you will grow faster.
Try to set high standards and make your values known to everyone that comes around you. Do not say yes to everyone, and do not make everyone access you with every thought or idea they have. Then know that there are things they are not supposed to do around you.
Treat others with respect, listen to their opinions, and see things from their own perspective. Do not make them feel low around you, as this will make them avoid you.
