To be honest, it’s hard to determine exactly, how community choose those with the good reputation. Previously I thought that, if you don`t do for anybody bad, then so you will gain a good reputation, but it is not so.
Let us not forget that “well-wishers” have always been, they are and they will be. I think, if I can not please by everyone, I must make something, at least, to have a good reputation in the majority. For this, I think that we should not gossip and maintain their distribution.
We don`t need to configure somebody against somebody; do not lie and expose the people. If you occupy the certain position or you are an active public figure, it is even more difficult, because you always need to be everywhere,you try to help others, or politely refuse. Try to be polite and tolerant to others. More important is control always, what you say, to whom you say, and how you are doing. It is difficult to achieve this in the small towns, where everyone knows everything about everyone, even people, who always stay at home, they get a bad reputation too. Try to keep clear of the people and places, which already have a bad reputation. And I hope that you will be lucky to be “spotless” and not enmeshed in “another kind of the story”.
With the Best Wishes, Jane
