How To Maintain A Positive Reputation

By Kermit James


Maintaining a positive character comes with many advantages, one of which is your reputation. Over time your reputation is developed. It is the character or overall quality as judged or seen by people in general. It can also mean gaining recognition from others for some ability or characteristic you display, whether positive or negative.

You must consistently demonstrate and maintain positive moral character traits in order to develop a great reputation. Once a bad reputation is established, it is difficult to undo what others think of you. It is far better to maintain a decent reputation. So, be careful and pay attention to the reputation that you are building.

When negative character traits are demonstrated over a period of time, they become part of your character and part of your reputation. Someone who steals will gain the reputation of being a thief and will not be trusted. People will be afraid to leave their belongings around that person. Do you know anyone with a bad reputation? That reputation was developed by some action others saw or heard about that person at one time or another, whether it was true or not.

In fact, you may know all about someone, though it may be true or not, without ever meeting them because their reputation precedes them just as your reputation precedes you.A person who has earned a reputation of being trustworthy and responsible, will be known as a dependable person. He will be trusted, respected and admired for his positive character traits. As you know, word gets around whether it's positive or negative, and your reputation is no different.

As you strive to maintain a positive moral character, you will maintain a positive reputation at the same time. People are observing you at all times, whether you realize it or not. The more others observe you, the more they put together a picture of what you're all about.
