I mean reputation in all sections of your life...being a good friend..looking good..being a nice perso or a great worker... if have or don't have tattoos is important or using make up all the time is important... I mean do you mind what other people think about you?what do you do (that you wouldn't do if you would not need the REPUTATION) to make those people think that you are somebody the think you are... I used to be more nice when I was working..so in my job I have a nice reputation..however at home I was not all smiles all the time..so I don't had a nice reputation at home hahhaa!!! thanks for share!

Ofcourse reputation is very important for me.I do respect other reputation and this way i do help myself to maintain my reputation. Because i think when i do respect other reputation and then other also give respect of my reputation. Have a good time!

Well, reputation is something you gain it and its lasts as long as you try to keep up with it, do everything that makes others to feel you are a very reputed person. Reputation is something which either makes someone feel proud of you, or envy you. So for me its really not so important, because sometimes you have to give up or let go something which you really love and which makes you happy. I don't want such a reputation which is not stable and steady, what matters to me most is my happiness.

Yes, my reputation is very important. I'm a role model for my neices and nephews. I have a reputaion for school, my home life, and outside of the house. I'm a nice person, I am confindent in all I do. I maintain it by giving myself daily affrimations.

lol. i don't think reputation is very important everywhere. You should have different reputation of your for different people. depends on what kind of people they are. like there is no use to have a good reputation in front of a terrorist ha ha ha, but u should have a good reputation in eyes of your friends and people close to you. but at the same time we should NOT be fake for having a good reputation. Being real is more IMPORTANT!!

kwylima reputation is all about honesty and trust and goodness but we are all humans first., we get tired,we get cranky,we frown and grumble but when we are asked to help we can be trusted,we can be depended on so our reputations are upheld. With me I am myself, never pretending to be someone else,what you see is what you get. I never put on any acts and I am totally honest.if I make a promise I will keep it ,If I find I cannot I will let you know at once.

That's one of the greatest wealth/pride we can claim for ourselves...good reputation. Keeping a good name/reputation is a good way of being a good person and a clean living. And keeping a good reputation is not easy. You have to live with sacrifices and endurance... A good discipline is a must,and self control. have a good day

Reputation is important for me, especially in my offline job. I want others to see good in me, so they would be encouraged to be and do good as well. One of my favorite hymns goes, "Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in me." In addition, reputation is not the only thing that matters, but who I really am, with or without people watching.

You really don't have to care about what other people think of you. What will they do about it anyway, they'll only gossip and gossip some more. As long as you know what you're doing and as long as you don't step on other people, you're okay.

i do think that having a good reputation is important.. that is why before doing something we should think first if this is really the kind of person that we want to be.. i guess it is already innate for us to try to gain the respect and trust of other people..
