Reputation

Reputation:

Words may impact a reputation, but actions define it.

“Reputation is the cornerstone of power. Through reputation alone you can intimidate and win; once it slips, however, you are vulnerable, and will be attacked on all sides. Make your reputation unassailable. Always be alert to potential attacks and thwart them before they happen…”

 

Take measures to guard and define your reputation the way you want it to me perceived.

 

Look at the story of the great General Chuko Liang (China’s War of Three Kingdoms; A.D. 207-265). He was vastly outnumbers, out flanked and completely vulnerable. However, his fierce reputation alone caused the enemy to flee rather than attack.
