There is no advertisement as powerful as a positive reputation traveling fast.

One way to evaluate your own reputation is to think about what would be said of you at your eulogy.

Never make negative comments or spread rumors about anyone. It depreciates their reputation and yours.

Here is a highly respected in-house lawyer who was making a positive reputation as a council member. I have not spoken to Richard but I think it is a shame that after just two years when he was filling an unexpected vacancy he does not have the opportunity to carry on and maintain the positive impact he had already made.

Should he go to jail? I don't know. I think his name, his reputation, what he's been put through and will be put through for the next several years _ his reputation and his career have already been ruined.

Use your free time for self-development. Listen to motivational or educational cassettes while driving to work.
