a wise man once said.....

your character is who you are, your reputation is what others
think of you


Do you have a reputation?
Do you care?
How many times have you heard someone say,,I don't know? But He's---She's ,,got a BAD REPUTATION?
in my life and circle,,,,MANY times heard...


NOW,,,How many times have you heard THEY'VE got a GOOD REPUTATION?
In my world of people,,,,hardly ever..

For the reputations earned,,,mostly are NOT GOOD ONES...

Its more only a word used when describing someone who has hurt many.

OVER a word used to describe a person who has helped many...
For good people we use,,
I've had many tell me SHE's or He's GREAT to know....
Stand alone,,,,Really a GOOD person...draws many,,,, OUTSTANDING REVIEWS,,,,
but,,,,not a reputation that exceeds him-self,lol

I don't care what people say or think of me,,for the ones who KNOW ME will not listen to any bad, and for THAT,,,is in the person's heart...:heart: NOT inside their thoughts.....:wink:

Do you have a reputation?


Sure, "intimidating and complicated."


Do you care?


No. People see what they want to see.





You are NOT intimidating....complicated maybe, that's not a bad thing.
Most humans are complicated

I don't think I'm intimidating at all, either, but that seems to be the gist of the reputation....!

As for complicated -- yeah, I have known some complicated people. I don't happen to think I'm one of them. Actually, I'm about as simple and basic as it gets without becoming a quadruped (although some people seem to want to push me in that direction....)

depending on the drive train and other details, you might get more writing done that way...

I don't know, I'm pretty scattered. Not sure being a goat is going to improve my focus any.

At my age, I really don't worry about having a reputation...lol My character is and always has been in good shape.. I've done a good job of raising 2 families, volunteered, opened my home to others, helped my kids and gkids, took care of my mother, and have good work ethics... I don't care if my neighbors or friends say "there goes that crazy old lady (with white hair) flying down the road on her Harley"...ya gotta live everyday like its your last! bigsmile laugh

Hi Lex

Thanks for the comment on the other thread (means a lot).

________

To comment on the celeb thing.

As far as Charlie, Tom, Mel and other celebs go I don't see them any differently than any other fired up guy on the block. But I live in Vegas one mile from the strip so I might see more on my block.

to be honest, their reps dont bother me. I am in OC,CA, one of the most fake places to live ever. . .and about 40 minutes from Hollyweird....people are people....and we should live and let be...I think a lot of people are under a lot of different pressures and come from different backgrounds which may influence their personas in differences than what others may perceive to be real.

On the professional level ... I am someone else.

On the private level ... I am here. The two are so far apart they appear impossible. I am a adynaton ... like a flying pig.

only in business, reputation is important because it often impedes or excels your rate of 'progress'


otherwise, it only matters what those who know me think of me,,,,
:heart: Well then,,I THINK A "LOT" OF YOU!!!!!so there,,lol

" what other people think of you is none of your business...until they choose to share it with you"


I suspect I have many reputations..

but they aren't mine....they are others'....so really I don't have one...I simply am a symbolic moment in someone elses perception of me.bigsmile

well Charlie Brown, I'd have to agree with that. I was thinking more in terms of twice the output with the 2 extra hands.....prolly not realistic tho

perfectly put once again jess - people who assign reputations only know one dimension of a person - usually do not have the facts straight - often do not understand the context of the decisions/choices another makes... so I see reputations as flawed and essentially judgmental with little constructive purpose. I'd rather get to know the person behind the rep....You can be on a pedestal, you can be in the trash

neither is "no place like home"
