Your Reputation is Priceless, Don’t Damage It – Over time, your reputation is the most valuable currency you have in business.  It’s the invisible key that either opens or closes doors of professional opportunity.  Especially in an age where everything is forever recorded and accessible, your reputation has to be guarded like the most sacred treasure.  It’s the one item that, once lost, you can never get back.

It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently.

Reputation is valuable currency in business, yes it is. It's about how others see you, think about you, when someone mention your name. :) but, how you built your character, how you describe yourself, how you put youself, I think, it's the most valuable.

Terkadang ketika seseorang mulai meletakkan reputasi menjadi sesuatu yang penting di atas segalanya, mereka kehilangan "definisi" dirinya. Bayangkan ketika term and condition sebuah reputasi pada suatu saat berubah, maka seseorg yg memegang teguh sebuah reputasi, bukan tidak mungkin akan berubah mengikuti term and condition yang berlaku pada masa itu.

For me, reputation is like a coin. 2 different sides. Sometime it turns to angel, but sometimes it turns to beast.

Sedangkan dengan karakter yg kuat, seseorg bisa memiliki "definisi" yang sifatnya dinamis dan eksak. Dan reputasi yang akan menyesuaikan.
