Not all reputations are deserved.
When banker considering who to give a loan, they attach great importance to three things: the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, credit history, and the borrower’s character.
The first two considerations can be calculated mathematically, the third requires judgement and experience.
They’ve learnt the that a person of character is always a good risk because they take their responsibilities seriously while those who spend their resources (on dumb shit) should be avoided at all cost.
Protect your reputation as you’d protect your family, home, job or business, and your life.
Once shattered, a good reputation can only be retained by those who have developed the courage and willpower to preserve in the face of great odds.
Peace&Love,
